Hello Agents,

Recent events have shaken up our normal schedule. Yet we’re getting back on track. I hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas season as we start to decorate and have themed activities.

Here are your objectives this week:

• Writing: We are learning to write event stories with transition words.
• Reading: We are learning to visualize as we read.
• Math: We will learn to use mental math to quickly find sums and differences.
• Social Studies: We will present and discuss our different cultures.
• Science: We are learning how and why we classify living things.

• Bible: We will learn the importance of rules. Our memory verse is Psalm 118:29.

Important Reminders

• December 15 Christmas Sweater Day – make sure to wear something for our Christmas Concert.
  • Many students have asked, “But what if I don’t have a Christmas sweater?”.  Good question.  Here are the options for the Christmas concert:
    1. a long-sleeved Christmas themed Tshirt, sweatshirt or sweater
    2. a long-sleeved plain T-shirt, sweatshirt or sweater
    3. a long-sleeved Tshirt, sweatshirt or sweater turned inside out, if there is a design that doesn’t fit our Christmas theme.

    Any choice of jeans or dark pants/skirts are preferable to complete the students’ ensemble.
