Weekly Update
for the Week Ending
Friday, December 21
Dear
Room 15 Families,
I
trust that you and your families figured out how to make the very most of our
two-week break. I, for one, enjoyed more
time with family, but really just can’t wait to get back to room 15. Two weeks is a pretty long time…
Thank
you so much for joining us for Friday’s sharing of our small moment
stories. We are excited to use what we
learned about writing during our small moment study and continue to grow as
writers.
On
Friday, we also enjoyed our Winter Wonderland Café. This gave us a chance to add dollar amounts
to get a grand total. We also calculated
the changed. Maybe the most important
part, is that we got to enjoy some sweet treats on the last day of school in
2018.
Please be on the lookout for important FIELD TRIP INFORMATION this week in your child’s homework folder on Monday. After reviewing it, please let me know if you
have any questions.
As part of our GRANDPARENT
BIOGRAPHIES, we would LOVE to have a photo of the grandparent your child will be writing about. Don’t worry about the quality (it can be a
photo of the photo), size or age of the photo.
It would be best if this could be emailed to me or added to your child’s
Google Drive.
•REVISION INQUIRY: We
would really love to
have you come in and share your experience about how you use mistakes in
your life. More
