It's been a great week with plenty of fun. The concert was awesome. The class really enjoyed the Guadalupe Dancers on Thursday, I know I did; it was fascinating and a great learning experience.

Many thanks to Atilano's for healthy snacks all week! Berdo's are on the snack schedule next week.

They are still working hard on learning how to subtract with regrouping. I have told them to be patient and do it one step at a time. The more they practice the easier it will be. 

We are taking a break from curriculum and they will begin a Christmas book study next week on "An Orange for Frankie" by Patricia Polacco. They will do a character study, explore the author's purpose, summarize, and play vocabulary and sequence games. No tests involved.

The class will do another experiment with their parachutes, then examine what happens when air is pushed into a smaller space. During Social Studies I'll read "The Lorax" and they will discuss how the environment changed. Let me know if you have any questions. Have a wonderful weekend!
