12/5-12/20

First, thank you all so much for your support while I was gone. It was a pretty terrible time and your thoughtfulness really helped. Due to my absence, we are about a week behind but I think we'll be able to make it all up this week!

We are wrapping up our unit on Area. We'll take a practice assessment this week and students who need extra help will retake it at the end of the week. The practice Spelling assessment will also take place this Friday and students who need to retake will do so Tuesday. We started our History of Missouri unit in Social Studies today and I'm excited for the kids- this is a really fun unit! In reading, we're reviewing nonfiction text features, author's purpose, compound subjects and predicates, as well as parts of speech and alphabetical order.

We also got acquainted with our 6th grade buddies by doing an Advent activity and playing games. They didn't want to leave each other so Mr. Schmidt and I even threw in an extra recess so they could play outside together! Enjoy the pics of our buddy time and some of the creative things coming from Centers!
