Monday News for Dec. 14th

On Friday the class had an opportunity to participate in The Hour of Code.  The Hour of Code is a global movement to try an hour introduction to computer science, reaching tens of millions of students in 180+ countries. Our class learned the beginnings of how to write code.  The children could choose from working on computer websites or apps created for I pads.  I have included a link to the website for you and your child to continue to explore and learn about writing code.  https://code.org/learn

This week we are wrapping up our unit on Life Long Ago.  Our culminating activity will be Colonial Craft Day on Thursday.  Thank you so much for all your generous donations!  It is great to have such supportive parents!  The children will be responding to a prompt about whether they prefer life today compared to long ago or vice versa.  They will need to explain their ideas based on what they have learned during this unit.  

In math we continue to explore the number line and different strategies for adding and subtracting using the number line.  If you are supporting your child at home with their homework and have any questions of your own, please do not hesitate to contact us. 

Please don't forget library books on Wednesday.  We will not have Library again until after the break, so Wednesday will be a time when your child can take books home for the holiday break.  As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.  Have a great week ahead and THINK SNOW!
