Dear Parents-
Happy Holidays! It was wonderful to share the breakfast with all of you; thank you for contributing and sharing your time with us. We have had such a rich term, filled with great learning- this month alone feels as if it was chock full of wonderfulness. I've included some pictures from our zoo trip and holiday party to celebrate those events! I am confident that you were as proud of the children's performance at the winter concert as I was. The song selection was fantastic, and tied so nicely into our unit as well as the UNIS idea of building a better world. It was great to see the children share their talents, and so proud of their accomplishments standing before you all. We have also been very successful with writing persuasive pieces that touch on a topic each child cares about. They have developed excellent research and organization skills in writing while also developing their unique author's voices. In math, we continue to develop multiplications skills. As previously mentioned, it is very important that the children practice their times tables until they "know them like they know their name." When we return from break, we will use multiplication skills for our next context for learning exercise. By this point, I would expect the children to have mastery of 0,1,2,3,4,5, and 6 times tables, up to the twelve facts. I wish you all a wonderful new year, safe travels, and happy family time. I look forward to seeing everyone back on January 4! Sincerely, Erin
