December Events and Activities

Hello Parents--

I know it has been a while since I have updated, and I am truly sorry!  November was a month of crazy with several days off and mixed up schedules!  Hopefully, we have a good plan in place and won't have too many interruptions!

Next week Orange, Yellow, and Green Groups will be working on cause and effect.  This is a more difficult concept for our kids to grasp, so we will be reading several different text to help us identify the causes and effects.


Our main story will be Officer Buckle and Gloria and this will come from our Journeys book.  We will also read If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and I hope to tie in some Christmas themed stories as well!

All groups will continue to practice cold reads.  At this point in the year, I will read a story to the students while they follow along, then I will read comprehension questions to them.  They are to use text evidence in the story to find the answers.  Most students are doing a wonderful job with this!  Keep encouraging your child to slow down and take their time!
Red Group will continue to work on new vocabulary words, reading fluently, and using text evidence to answer questions.
