This week in reading we will be comparing and contrasting Christmas books and movies. This will include reading How the Grinch Stole Christmas, watching the movie, and comparing the two of them. Our spelling will be Christmas List #2 and students should turn in their 20 points on Friday. Students should still be filling in a Reading Log for this week, and it will be due on the Monday we get back in January.
This week in writing we will be reading our PJ Day letters to Mr. Campbell. These are due Monday. Students need to make sure that they have typed their letter and shared it with me so that I can grade it. We will also start writing a persuasive letter to Santa this week. This one will not be graded though.
This week in math we will learning about equivalent fractions. We will learn ways to find equivalent fractions and identify if fractions are equivalent to each other. We will also learn how to find common denominators between fractions and do word problems with fractions. Also, on Friday will be our Multiplication Ice Cream party. If your student hasn't passed of all their facts through 12, please help them study so they can pass off as much as they can before Friday!
This week in social studies we will be taking our Counties Test. My class takes this on Monday and Mrs. Ditto's on Tuesday. Most students have studied very hard for this test and I'm very proud of them!
Lastly, here are a couple last things to remember. On Wednesday we will have our 4th grade PJ day. We read letters to Mr. Campbell and he decided to let us have the PJ day!!! Students are NOT to bring pillows and blankets. It is not a party, just a day that we can wear our PJs. Also, our Christmas Sing will be on Thursday at 9:30 and 1:00. Please have your students wear a red or white shirt. And please come and hear us sing! They can wear a Santa Hat if they wish. It will be so much fun! Finally, on Friday will be our school wide PJ day. Students will be allowed to bring pillows and blankets because we will be having a class party that day as well.

Christmas Sing Practice
Here are our songs for students to practice at home!
Holly Jolly Christmas
Holly Jolly Christmas
Have a holly jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow
But have a cup of cheer
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet
Ho ho the mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Oh, bygolly
Have a holly jolly Christmas
This year
Have a holly jolly Christmas
It’s the best time of the year
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet
Ho ho the mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Oh, bygolly
Have a holly jolly Christmas
This year
Jingle Bell Rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now, the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock, yeah
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell rock, yeah

This week in reading we will be doing some reviewing. We will review writing non-fiction summaries and will review rocks which students have been learning in science. Our spelling until Christmas will be lists of Christmas words. This week will be Christmas List #1. Students should still complete 20 points worth of activities this week to turn in on Friday. Students should also complete their Reading Log as well to turn in on Monday.
This week in writing we will be finishing our PJ Day letter. Students should be finished with their pre-writes. If they did not finish this in class, they were supposed to bring it home today to finish. We have started our rough drafts in class, so students should be finishing their rough draft, editing and revising it, and typing it on the computer. We will also put them into My Access. Hopefully, students' scores should increase from their Turkey Letters. I also will be showing students their scores on their Turkey Letters and giving them ideas to help their PJ letter be better than the Turkey Letter.
This week in math we will be taking our Place Value Test. We will review on Tuesday and students should come home with their pre-test to study from. We will take the test on Wednesday and then move on to Equivalent Fractions. In Target Time we will be reviewing Word Problems one last time. On Friday we will take our Word Problems test in Target Time.
This week in social studies our main focus will be on studying our counties. We will do a few other small activities but we will mainly finish our quizzes and study for the final test. Mrs. Ditto's class is taking their 2nd quiz on Monday. The 3rd and final quiz will be on Thursday for my class and Friday for Mrs. Ditto's class. The final test will be next week on Monday 12/14 for my class and Tuesday 12/15 for Mrs. Ditto's class. I have included the 3rd quiz's study guide and the final study guide here.
