Holiday Greetings!

Today during Daily 5, students met with me in small groups to make gifts for their families. They turned out amazing!! I can’t post the final products until after the holidays—they’re top secret ;)
During writing, students filled out Elf Applications. We discussed what it takes to be an elf and tomorrow will write why Santa should choose them to be his elves. The kids think I am having them do this project because I am an elf. Today was ugly/festive sweater day for the teachers and I went all out. A number of students are suspecting that I am an elf.
In math, students are learning a variety of ways to do 2-digit addition. Please do not discourage your child from trying a new way. Even from when I was in school, addition and subtraction were taught one way and that was the only way. Today, students are shown a variety of ways and get to choose what works best for them
