Dear 2A Families,

I hope you are having a great week!  The rain and cold weather may be getting you down, so it’s a perfect time to reflect on the light of Christmas!  Speaking of that, our Christmas Program is tomorrow evening (Friday, 12/13) at the Everett Civic Auditorium.  It is a special night to dress up nicely in festive attire.  Students need to arrive at the auditorium no later than 6:45 pm.  Doors open at 6:30 pm and the show begins at 7 pm.  Students will sit in a section with the teachers.  You and your family are invited to sit anywhere else in the auditorium that is not reserved for students.  There are many times throughout the program that the students will be performing, so make sure they stay until the end.  Please check them in and out with me tomorrow evening.  I am so excited for this beautiful program.  The students have worked so hard!

Holidays Around the World Report

A reminder that the reports are due tomorrow.  Just to clarify, the recipe included in the report can be a printed copy rather than handwritten.  I apologize for any confusion.  The presentation schedule and presentation template will be sent home with your child tomorrow.  We will not have a homework packet or spelling test for the week of Dec. 16th-Dec. 20th.  Presentations will take place during class next week.  Our “Feast of Holidays” is Wednesday, Dec. 18th during lunch.  There are directions for what to bring on the presentation schedule coming home tomorrow.

Learning Update

This week we practiced for our music program and learned about Holidays Around the World.  We traveled to Scandinavia, Israel, The Netherlands, and Mexico.  We will continue to learn about Sweden and St. Lucia day on Friday, 12/13.  Next week, we will conclude our trip around the world with our home country, the USA!  In math, we reviewed the hundreds chart and used the chart to skip count by 2s, 3s, 5s, and 10s.  We also learned about the number line and the order of numbers.  We will learn about ordinal numbers and repeating patterns next week.  In science, we concluded our Geology unit on Rocks and Minerals.  We will take our test on Monday, 12/16.  A study guide was sent home on Wednesday so please review that over the weekend.  In religion, we focused on creating a “Gratitude List” of blessings to prepare our hearts for First Reconciliation.  The spelling test scheduled for tomorrow has been postponed to Monday, 12/16 due to Christmas Program rehearsal.

I look forward to seeing you tomorrow evening!

Blessings,

Mrs. Nicole Martin
