December 16th- December 20th

Here is a look at our schedule for next week!

*Math: Throughout the week, students will be working through individualized math packets that will serve as a review of the math that they have been learning/practicing since the beginning of the year.
*Reading:  This week, students will be reading two different Readers' Theater plays, "Redheaded Robbie's Christmas Story" and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas".  For each of these plays, students will be completing pre-reading activities (i.e. predictions, text-to-self connections, etc.) and comprehension activities while reading.
*RtI Reading: Students will be writing their own holiday stories this week using the 5 story elements that we have been practicing all year.  They will be sharing these stories with each other following their completion.  Students will also be reading a passage titled, "Holiday Traditions" and making text-to-self-connections with the stories.
*Language Arts: Students will start off the week completing a holiday scavenger hunt within the school!  They will be using grammar clues from popular carols/holiday movies to find their "treasure" at the end!  The rest of the week, students will be working through an individualized vocabulary packet and then Thursday and Friday watching, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", which is in conjunction with the Readers' Theater play they are doing in reading.
*Social Studies (7th/8th grade only): Each day this week, the students will be learning about a winter holiday celebrated in various countries throughout the world.  They will be using Google Earth to located these countries on the map and then making inferences about the country's culture based on what they have learned.

Have a wonderful week!
