We will once again be having a busy week.  We will be working on our fluency by practicing a Reader’s Theater to perform for the rest of the third grade the week before Christmas.  We will also be writing a Christmas poem.  We will be working on our comprehension by learning about Christmas customs found throughout the world.  Thank you to those who sent in material and wrapped books for the Christmas party.  I really appreciate all those helping to get the party organized.
