Mrs. Leone’s News December
Happy December! I hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families. It’s hard to believe that Winter Break is in three short weeks. We are really feeling like a family now at school. Congratulations to our November Good Citizen, David Rust! We have a lot going on at school this month.
In Reading, we will continue with Unit 3. Our story on stars is next week, which will lead into our field trip on December 18th to the Merrillville Planetarium. Please continue to practice spelling words and vocabulary words at home. Also, our students are working hard to earn AR. points. Ask your child how many points he or she has earned this year. Congrats to our class leader, Kaylub Cox, who has 40 points! Please encourage your child to read at home and participate in Book It program. Attached you will find December’s Book It calendar. Try to read 300 minutes a month to earn a free pizza.
In Math, we will start Unit 5, Multiplication. Please use the flashcards I gave you at conferences to practice at home. Students can also use practice with telling time and counting money at home.
In Science/Health we will study stars and constellations. We are also studying nutrition with our special guest, Professor PopcornJ.
I hope that you enjoy this busy holiday season. Thank you for helping with packing snacks, homework, agendas, home folders, and behavior logs. As always, contact me with any questions or concerns.
Happy Holidays!
