Miscellaneous:
Please have your child write 2 sentences instead of one this week. They need to be related in some way. ie "I have a dog. His name is Max."
Don't forget to read each night for 20 minutes. Each month needs to have a total of 400 minutes. PLEASE READ EACH WEEKDAY OF THE HOLIDAY, that way your child will still earn 400 minutes and be able to attend the reading incentive party.
The December Book Orders are due Wednesday December 1. If our class has a $40 order on the Holiday Gifts order, we will have a chance to win an ipad. We won't be the first in the school anymore (4th grade received a grant for one), but it would still be a great addition to our classroom. This order SHOULD be here before the Christmas break, if you would like to give any books as a gift, just let me know. I'm great a keeping secrets.
With the weather getting colder, please make sure that your child is dressed appropriately. Mr. Whittier feels strongly that the students need to spend as much time outside during recesses as possible, even if it is cold outside.

Line of Symmetry
Today for math we learned about symmetry, and I showed the kids a cool site that teaches symmetry. We weren't able to finish the lesson, so I told them I would post the link here for them to finish it if they would like. They might need a small amount of help with the instructions, but it is pretty self explanatory. If you would like to have your child learn more about symmetry go to: Links Learning. There is also another fun site, Hael Media, where students can practice making shapes with symmetry. Enjoy!
Read for the Record
I just got an email that finally told me the number of students that read "The Snowy Day" on the same day. It is kind of cool to know that we added 21 students to that number. Please go to Read for the Record for more information.

We had a great time at the Wizard of Oz. You should be proud of your child. They were very respectful of the students performing and were silent walking in their halls to not disturb the other students while they were in class. (They did a better job that some fifth graders!) Make sure to tell them they were a great audience.
