MANY thanks to all who signed up to send in supplies or volunteer at our Holiday Party! You are wonderful! Supplies can be brought in starting tomorrow. Our party is Wednesday!

This week we will be learning...
Math: We will continue our study of growing (5, 10, 15, 20) and repeating (ABABABAB) patterns.
Reading: We will continue to compare and contrast different versions of the story of the Gingerbread Man. We will also be reading The Polar Express in preparation for comparing it to the movie on Thursday.

This week is also packed full of hands-on holiday activities!

Have a merry week!
