Families, please remember that tomorrow is pyjama and stuffed animal day! From 2:00-3:45pm, Parent Council will be hosting a movie afternoon. The movie will be the Netflix special Klaus. Klaus is a about a simple act of kindness that always sparks another, even in a frozen, faraway place. When Smeerensburg’s new postman, Jesper, befriends a toymaker Klaus, their gifts melt an age-old feud and deliver a sleigh full of holiday traditions!
Report cards are also going home tomorrow, please look for them in your child's backpack. Please sign the envelope and return it on January 6, 2020. Additionally, ALL indoor shoes are coming home tomorrow. Please check and make sure that 1) the shoes still fit 2) your child knows how to tie their shoes if they have laces Finally, ALL leftover mittens, hats, scarfs, socks, etc. will be sent home tomorrow. Anything unclaimed will be put into the lost and found. As for today, students worked on practicing a new reading comprehension skill: determining the author's purpose. Every author writes for a reason and when we think about what the author wants us to learn from a story, we can understand that story better. After re-reading Night Tree, students discussed what the author wants readers to learn from this book. At first, students thought that the author was trying to tell us to be nice to animals. But, once we remembered our lessons from Social Studies, we learned that the author was teaching us that every family is different and that not all family traditions are the same (but they are special in their own, unique way). Sometimes author's make their message very clear, by simply writing directions. Students practiced this by writing the steps to building the perfect snowman! Students are also bringing home a book to practice over the Winter Break called Two Dogs. This book is theirs to keep, be sure to have your child practice. It has some of our Rainbow Words and words that have different sounding endings than the letter would suggest: when a word ending in s sounds like /z/. For example: bugs, dogs, or has.
