Important News and Information:
-AR point totals were sent home on Wednesday in folders. This was an updated list as of Monday, so any tests taken after that are not included in the list. Please encourage your child to read over break!
-Mark your calendars! Wednesday, Dec. 14th is the 1st and 2nd grade Advent Service. The kids will receive their Advent parts within the next couple of weeks. They will need to memorize these parts to recite during our Advent Services at 10am and at 7pm on 12/14.


We worked together to put numbers in order from least to greatest

The kids worked with a partner to read a Scholastic News Article written from either the Pilgrim or Wampanoag point of view. After reading their article, they joined with a new partner who hadn't read their article. The new pairs told each other what they had learned and then they worked together to compare and contrast the Pilgrims and the Wampanoags.
