In math we are finishing up our first math book. We will begin the second one after the break. Right  now we are doing some review.
In reading we are working on a persuasive argument and writing multiple paragraphs. We are also working on homophones.
We finished up our unit in social studies on community.
In science we will begin the weather section of the air and weather unit soon.

Angel decoration for the Christmas Concert

Mrs. Quinn has graciously volunteered to create our angel for the Christmas Concert.
She has received only 16 beautiful little angels. That means she is missing about 8 angels. If your child has not turned in a decorated little angel, please bring it tomorrow so it can be part of the class angel. the decoration is due on Monday.
