Our Social Studies theme these next week will be Cultures. We have been reading information/ nonfiction texts to learn about the way groups of people around the world live. By studying parts of culture like homes, school, food, clothing, traditions, etc. we are learning about how we are similar and different to people around the world. We will also focus our writing work around our this theme as we write information texts that teach others what we know. Here are some writing links for students to practice paragraph making as we have done in class:

One of our favorite activities, the Cultural Luncheon was a smashing success! There was a wonderful selection of dishes from around the world and many kids have got a new favorite dish. This event is always a lovely way to kick off the Holiday Season and it would not have been possible without your contributions. The highlight for many of us was spending time with our families and friends!
Here's what to expect for next week:
- We are going to the Armory on Tuesday! Please have your child wear sneakers.
- We are ending Module 2 in Math as we take the End Module Assessment on Tuesday. This module reviewed adding, subtracting and estimation by using metric measurements to help reinforce place value concepts. Here are some links if your child wants extra practice:
