C.J. HICKS December 2019 This is an exciting month for our READY children as we enter the holiday season. We will be making special holiday crafts. We’ll sing and read about Rudolph, and the Gingerbread Man. We’ll jingle bells to many of our songs at Circle Time, especially to “Jingle Bells”. We’ll learn many holiday words such as presents, reindeer, stars, trees, gingerbread. We will be lacing, cutting, gluing, painting and coloring lots of holiday crafts. We’ll play with different colored play dough and use holiday cookie cutters. This month we’ll sing about green and the star shape.

Thank you for your assistance in making sure students are getting plenty of sleep and
coming to school prepared. Please review the RISE expectations with your child daily. We want to ensure a safe learning environment for all. Please help your child with all their homework daily. Please check homework folders nightly and return to school the next day. Please also check all Friday Communicator folders every Friday and return them on Monday.
What We Are Learning Reading – Students will look closely at texts to answer who, what, when, where and why questions. We are also learning lots of grammar skills such as collective nouns, pronouns, irregular plural verbs, irregular plural nouns, adverbs etc. We are learning about main idea and key details in informational texts. Writing – Students will write informational writings. These include writing about American Heroes, writing recipes steps in a process, etc. Math – We will be working with clocks and telling time. We are also working online plots, graphs, and collecting data. We are continuing working on adding and subtracting within 100 by regrouping numbers. Students will learn to collect, organize, and create graphs and interpret them. We will continue to work on measurement and word problems. Social Studies: We are continuing to learn about Georgia’s First People. Science: We are continuing to work on the Sun, Moon and Stars. We will also work on seasons and shadows.

This week in National Hand Washing week, and I wanted to offer some hand washing resources. Please make time to visit the below website to assist you in promoting good hygiene and handwashing. With the flu, Noro, Hand Foot & Mouth and RSV all floating around, it is great for everyone to remember that handwashing is the best way to prevent illness.
