  No new trick words this week. (These trick words are very important.  Please work on these at home & if your child knows them quickly, he/she can start learning to spell them."
• Math - Identifying pennies, dimes and counting.  Number sense and addition using ten frames, tally marks and addition sentences.
• Centers - Christmas program practice, Ornaments, Journal writing, Evaluations
• Habit - Responsibility (great story from Thursday - My key fob somehow got detached from my lanyard and one of the children told me that was not being very responsible.  So I guess they have been listening!)
