December 4-December 8, 2017

Odds and Ends
- Our Christmas concert will be next Wednesday, December 20 at 6:30.
-Ask your kiddo how their pencil crayons are doing, I went through our 'lost crayons' and returned to the rightful owner if their names were on it, however a good number of the students crayon collection is looking quite sad- still learning the whole pencil box/ sharpening pencils thing.

Language
We had a new visitor in our classroom, Mimzie the elf! Every morning we have been writing in our Elf journals about the trouble Mimzie gets up to every day. We have been working on the short O sound this past week. We have been looking at Christmas themed short stories and working on our comprehension skills.

Math
We have moved in from addition and have been working hard on our subtraction skills. We played "Hulk Smash" with play dough as an introduction to the concept. We also used a winter themed mitten manipulative to work through problems.

Social
We had another community helper come to visit us on Friday-firefighters! The children were so excited to see all of the bunker equipment and work on what to do in case there is a fire. We have been looking on what the students can do right now to be a 'community helper' until they grow up.

Science
We are working on our sense of smell. We watched a video on the way in which our nose affects our daily life. We did a smell test activity last week, we will be continuing on with this for half of this week before moving on to the next sense.
