Dear Parents,

This week we've been working on Retelling. Students are encouraged to retell the beginning, middle and end of a story. They also have to tell me the characters and setting of the story. We really enjoyed reading Knuffle Bunny and Knuffle Bunny Too. The students retold and acted out the story. We also talked about realistic fiction books.

The Character Trait for December is Empathy. We discussed what empathy is and made thinking bubbles that shows how to be empathetic. Our thinking bubbles are displayed on the bulletin board next to the office. Please take a look. In December, the school will have it's first Character Education Assembly where students who demonstrated Empathy will be given awards. Parents are also welcomed to join us for the assembly. The date has not been finalized but I will let you all know soon.

In Math, we have started our unit on Data Management. This week was quite simple as we worked on Venn Diagrams to sort items and used Tally Charts after doing a survey.

Here are some Math links for both grades:

Some Grade 3 students will bring their Math workbooks home to complete page 18. Please send the books back on Monday. Thank you

Have a great weekend!
