We will be reading the story Little Panda by Joanne Ryder.  This is an informational text, and we will be talking about “Animals Grow and Change”.  The comprehension skill we will target is compare and contrast and we will work with the letter sounds of /n/ and /b/.  Many boys and girls may be interested in checking the live Panda Cam at the San Diego Zoo from home at the following website: http://www.sandiegozoo.org/pandacam/ Practice high frequency sight words daily! 

In Math we will continue to Compare and Order numbers 0-10.  Review the daily practice pages with your child, practice counting to 100 by 1s and 10s, review 2 and 3 dimensional shapes and identifying and writing numbers 0-20!

Students will need to be prepared for colder weather at recess.  Warm coats, gloves or mittens, hats and/or scarves are needed.  Recess is a half an hour and unless the ground is snow-covered or it is too cold we will try to get outside for “fresh-air”.

December AR “Book Buddy” recording sheets will be due January 3rd.  The goal for the month is 15 books. Congratulations to all the boys and girls who met the goal for November!!  Keep up the great work and Keep Reading!!
