Puzzles under 100 pieces

Tuesday, December 3rd

Hello Families,

We have been busy exploring memories and artifacts from a one-room school house. We compared items that we have a school and the items that people used in a one room school house 100 years ago. Next, we are going to be looking at items used in a kitchen 100 years ago.

We have been doing a lot of work in math lately. As a class we are discussing strategies we use to solve addition problems and we have began to explore balancing equations. 

We have a bunch of projects in the works, we can'y wait to post them on Seesaw when they are completed. 

In addition, room 9 is preforming in the Winter Concert on Thursday, December 12 @ 7:30pm. Students need to be at the school at 7:10pm if they are performing. For the Winter Concert,

we are looking for a few donations of the following items in order to create some of the set.

• Wrapping paper – sufficient to wrap large and medium sized boxes
• Scrapbook paper appropriate to make snowflakes

If you have any donations, please send them to school. 

Important Dates:

Dec. 6 - Blue and White Day

Dec.12 - Winter Concert

Dec. 19 - Last day of school before winter break

Thank you,
