November 28th-December 2nd

Greetings Families,

        I hope you all had a very nice Thanksgiving and enjoyed the extra family time!  It’s hard to believe December begins this week.  We have many special activities and projects that occur in December, so be sure to keep reading the Palermo Post for updates. 

We are skipping ahead to Topic 8 in math (Adding 2-Digit Numbers).  We will be discussing regrouping, also known as “carrying,” when adding 2-digit numbers.  It’s important that students keep up addition fact practice at home to make two-digit addition a little bit easier.

In Reading we will continue our “Working Together” unit.  This week we are reading Scarcity, which introduces producers and consumers and how many things can affect what we buy, such as price and changes in weather.  In writing we will discuss and write about wants and needs for the holiday season.  You can continue these conversations at home!

We had an excellent start to our Barnes and Noble Fundraiser on Saturday.  Just a reminder, you can still shop online until Thursday (Dec.1^st).  If you choose to shop online, please use our promo code: 12013090.

If you have any questions, please call the school, email me: alipal1@gpsk12.org or write me a note in the O.W.L. binder. 

All the Best,

Mrs.Palermo
