Happy New Year! Today was a good new start. In reading today we read "King Midas and His Gold" and wrote about the beginning, middle, and end. We also continued working on names of special places. We had library and computer. For social studies we played a fun review game to help us practice for our test tomorrow. We wrapped up our body unit for science. We did a neat germ experiment. Ask your child about the glitter experiment! Math today was all about dimes and pennies. We had to count using dimes and pennies and we also had to show certain amounts of money using only dimes and pennies. Our day ended with our December writing! We wrote about Christmas. We are so happy to be back! I can't wait to see your smiling faces tomorrow! Happy Birthday Sophia!!
