Our last week before Winter Break is already here! It is sure to be a fun one both at school and at home!

Our field trip to Barlow Planetarium is on Thursday. If you volunteered to chaperone, please be at school by 9:55. We will leave at 10:00 and will return by 11:50.

We will have a holiday color day on Thursday. Kids can deck out in their best red and green!

Our next yoga day will be on January 3, the day we come back from Winter Break. Please remember to send your child in cozy yoga gear.

Curricular Notes:

-We continue to read and write fiction this week. We will also spend lots of our reading and writing time working with our planet book clubs to plan, practice, and present what we've learned to the rest of the class. 

-We are finishing up our measurement unit in math this week. Our next unit will focus on subtracting 2- and 3-digit numbers.

-We are finishing our unit on space and the planets. The Barlow Planetarium will be a great reinforcement of things we've learned. We'll move on to a social studies unit, The Geography of Kaukauna, when we return in January.

Just a reminder that there is no school on Friday of this week or all of next week. Classes will resume on January 3rd. I truly hope that you enjoy your time together as a family! I'll be looking forward to reuniting with the kids in January!

Take care!
