How do you eat a gingerbread cookie?
That was the question we tried answering this afternoon!  We had to map out how we ate our cookie and tomorrow we will be writing all about it.  Here we are enjoying our cookies!

Good Morning, Just wanted to give you a heads up about an important date coming up. Next week on Thursday, December 20th, our class will be doing a Reader's Theater presentation for our parents. It will start at 9:00am and I am thinking it should probably take around a half an hour. Your child will be bringing home a formal invitation today. Please RSVP to my e-mail, tgartland@deforestschools.org, by Tuesday, December 18th. I need to know if we can hold the event in our room or if we will need to move it to the cafeteria. Thanks in advance for your response. For those of you who can't make it I am planning on recording the event and I am hoping to be able to put it on our blog so everyone will get a chance to see it.

Hello, It is hard to believe that it is December already! Remember our field trip is this Wednesday. We have been studying Then and Now in social studies and I know we are looking forward to seeing some of the things we have talked about at the Historical Museum. Thank you for returning the book bags - if you have any questions about the process please do not hesitate to contact me - the bags will be sent home again on Monday.

Hello, Welcome to our class blog. I will be posting a weekly newsletter. Please check the blog out on Friday to find out what is happening and about upcoming events. I have also included a calendar with our specials calendar, snack schedule, Star Student schedule, and other important dates. READING Book bags are coming home this week. The bag stays at home for the week and needs to be brought back on Friday. Please read the letter that is in the bag for additional information. Please let me know if you have any questions. MATH We are starting Unit 4 - which covers solving number stories, reading and showing temperatures, and developing strategies for adding 2- and 3-digit numbers.
