Thank you for making our STEAM EXPO so exciting for the kids!  Students were so thrilled to take you room to room to show you all of our work and were encourage by your enthusiasm.  I am working on posting some photos and videos up on Seesaw.

Curriculum Overview
Reading - We are comparing and contrasting different versions of the well known Gingerbread Man story.  Ask your students about The Gingerbread Baby.  We will also read fiction books that feature different winter holidays.

Writing - Students have been writing about, and reflecting on, their favorite aspect of our EXPO project.  We will also write a letter home for the holidays.

Math - This week we will continue to develop a foundation for fractions by looking at the different shapes that be made when you break up a hexagon.  Students will learn about weight and attempt to build and photograph numbers up to 15.

Word Study - We will review the concept of rhyme.
