In order to make this possible, please send a small flashlight to school with your child on Friday, Dec. 22nd. You can purchase one from Dollar Tree (or other dollar stores) for only $1. Please label your child’s flashlight. A used flashlight is fine too, as long as it’s small. It would be too difficult for little hands to hold books and larger flashlights at the same time, so please make sure it’s small enough for your 3rd & 4th graders to use. I know the children will love this reading time!
On Friday, December 21st, we will be having a “Flashlight Read-a-Thon” in the morning. Some of you may remember reading in bed by flashlight when you were a child. We are going to practice “Flashlight Reading”. Flashlight Reading involves turning the lights off/closing the shades, finding a comfortable spot in the room, and reading. It’s simply another way to encourage and promote more reading!

Students will be completing an in-class project on animal adaptations. The assignment entails creating their own animal and describing the adaptations it needs in order to survive in its environment. Your student is coming home with a sketch of their made-up creature to share with you! We ask that you review the sketch and brainstorm possible materials to use in order to bring their animal to life! Students will be using these materials to create a 2D visual representation of their made-up animal.
Please send these materials in with your student by Wednesday, December 6th. We ask that you make sure the materials are placed in a bag with the student’s name on it. Thank you! |
