The Nutcracker

The Nutcracker performance will be on December 19th at 6pm.  Please arrive at 5:30 and meet in your child's classroom.  If you arrive any earlier for seating, please keep your child with you until 5:30.  All information, including costume information, is on Mrs. Richard's Nutcracker website which you can access here.  

If you are able to help with costumes and make-up before the performance, please e-mail both Mrs. Richards and your child's teacher.  We will also need help with costumes for the performance during school hours, at 1pm.  Please reach out if you are able to help during the day!

What we've been up to:

Reading: We have been finding story elements in small group and during whole group activities. This includes identifying the characters, setting, and the plot.   

Word Study: This week we are studying contractions. The test will be on Friday, December 14th.

Math: We will be working on 3-digit addition during our WINN time (What I Need Now).  WINN time is when students split into different classroom to work on strategies they need to master a skill. We have also been learning about strategies to help with our multiplication facts.

Science: We will continue to discuss Invisible Forces!

Social Studies:  Thank you for helping your child prepare for our test on Chapter 2! Tests will come home early next week. In our next unit, we will focus on Economics. 

Writing: We are currently working on writing our personal narratives. We have focused on a strong emotion and writing through our senses. We are working on ending our stories with a strong emotion.

*As always, please continue to check out our classroom resources on itslearning. Students can go there often to practice skills and learn about content that we are covering in class.

All teachers welcome questions that you have. A true partnership between home and school is important for the success of each child.
