PANDA NEWS:

We have begun work on our gingerbread unit.  We have read a few versions of the folktale The Gingerbread Man.

On Wednesday, we had a UNH Hockey Player as a guest reader.  The Pandas enjoyed it very much.

Thank you to all that help support our school and classroom.  We couldn't do it without you.

Language Arts:  

We worked on lowercase a, d, and g.  We also worked on the word the. We started writing in our gingerbread journals responding to the stories.  

Math:

We continued to work on practicing teen numbers.  We have learned all teen numbers start with 1 ten.  We have been practicing counting to fifty by ones.

Art:  

The students worked on a winter quilt this week.  They decorated their painted gingerbread men.

Social Studies:  The STA is running community service project to collect food for the needs of people in our community.  They can bring in a canned good to add to the deposit boxes.  Also don't forget about the other service projects going on throughout the school.
