Week of December 8th

I can't believe how close we are to the end of the first semester! This year has flown by so quickly and I am hoping that the next semester slows down a little. :)

ELA:

This week we are going to continue studying how different countries around the world celebrate the holidays. I am so happy with my students and their progress in answering these questions fully. Please remember any work in this packet not completed at school needs to go home to be completed as homework. 

Math: 

We will be finishing up Topic 5 on long division this week! We will do a review of what we have learned on Monday of next week and then take our Topic 5 Celebration of Learning on Tuesday. I won't be putting these in the grade book until after break, unless I have 100% of my class pass. That way if any of my students don't pass, they will have time after break to study and retake that test. 

Christmas Party:

Our Christmas Party will be on Thursday, December 18th. We are going to be celebrating by enjoying food from the countries we have been studying in our "Holidays Around the World" unit. If you would like to sign up, we still need some food items and you can do that by clicking HERE. 

I am also going to link the recipes that parents have used in the past HERE. You are welcome to use the recipe from this book, or another recipe if you have one that you like! If you use a different recipe, please share that with me as soon as you know. I will change our book to show that since I make a cook book for my students each year with these recipes. :)

End of Quarter 2:

The end of Quarter 2 is next Thursday, December 18th. Students will have until the end of the school day that day to turn in any missing work. After the end of that day, whatever is missing will just be a 0 in the grade book. It is so important that students get their work completed on time so that they are able to keep up with the rigor at VCS.
