In Social Studies:
 
We are going to talk about reducing and reusing next week in social studies.  One of the goals is for students to realize that people can use old materials/objects to make something new or for a new use.  We are going to be providing students with many materials to create something from toilet paper and paper towel rolls.  Here is where we need some help! 
 
We are asking if you have any toilet paper or paper towel rolls lying around over the next week, to please send them in!  Students will be using these to make a new creation.  Thank you for your continued support in your child's education!
 
In Writing we will: 
-discuss writing styles of a few authors
-choose a favorite author to write to and draft a letter to them
-discuss the components of a great letter
 In Math we will: 
-compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones
-count forward, beginning from a given number within the known sequence.
