Our Holiday Party is this Thursday from 1:30 - 2:15. A great big thank-you to our room moms for planning a fantastic time. Please don't forget to send in your items for that special day. If you plan on checking your child out after the party is over, please don't forget to do so before you come down to the party so you can bring me a slip from the office. Thank you.
You have probably heard that there has been a lot of crafting in Room 124 lately. If you would like to help us out, we could really use some more glitter. We especially need red and green, but we seem to like all colors of glitter in our class.
I wanted to let you know that if you would like to place your Scholastic orders on line without having to send back in the forms and money, our code for our classroom is K2YLD. You will still have the option of sending them in as we have been if you would like.
Story: Rosa and Blanca
Genre: Realistic Fiction
Phonics: Long i: i, ie, igh, y
Comp. Skill: Theme and plot
Comp. Strategy: predict

Math: In Math this week we will review our chapter Monday and test on it Tuesday. Please look for a review sheet to come home Monday night.
Also, don't forget that we will have a timed math drill that will be graded this Wednesday. It will only include addition facts this time.
We will have a science Vocabulary test Wednesday. Please make sure your child is comfortable with the study guide. We have studied these words so much in class that they should be very comfortable with them.
If you have plans to go out of town a little early and your child won't be at school Friday, please email me so I can go ahead and give them their reading and spelling test. Two weeks is a long time to remember that information.
Please don't forget to send Nancy's money on Monday if you want your child to purchase it.
I hope you spend this Christmas season making wonderful family memories with the people you cherrish the most. I know I am incredibly thankful that I get to spend every school day with each precious face in our room. I am truly thankful and blessed. Merry Christmas to each of you!

Shopping Day for The Holiday Store is Monday, Dec. 5th!
We are in full swing with the Christmas Season!
Your child brought home an envelope with a letter explaining the Holiday store at Blount. Our shopping day is TOMORROW. If you would like your child to participate, please help them fill out the envelope that was sent home and discuss the people they should have on their list.
Look for a letter in your child's binder to come home soon about our Christmas party that will be on Thursday, December 15th.
A great big thank you to all the moms that came and ate lunch with the class last week for Teacher Treat Day. It was a fantastic treat!!
We have been very busy with Christmas crafts and we love to listen to Christmas music as we "craft"! If your child has a favorite Christmas CD that they would like to share with us they are welcome to bring it.
If I have any parents that would like to come and do a special Christmas craft with the class please send me an email and we can set up a time. I have found out that Room 124 NEVER gets tired of crafts!
We are in need of paint pens for a craft project coming up. The main colors we need are black, orange, brown, and red.
Story this week: Anansi Goes Fishing
Genre: Folk Tale
Phonics: Compound Words
Comp. Skill: Cause and Effect
Comp. Strategy: Monitor and Fix Up
Grammar: Verbs for past, present, and future
In Math we will continue with Subtraction. The kids are doing very well with regrouping. Remember to practice Math facts with your child. We will have a timed drill test the week of Dec. 12th. I am so pleased with how well they are doing on Math Facts in a Flash. We are getting better and better!! Also, don't forget to visit the Math Web Sites on the side of our page. We have heard a rumor of the Math Store opening up in January so we are going to be more than ready to get those Bount Bucks when it opens!
Look for a Science Voc. study sheet to come home this week.
Please email me at beth.culp@mps.k12.al.us with any questions or concerns.
