Mrs. Hake’s Friday, Dec. 9th edition CLASSROOM 2016-2017 news Sneak Peak Week in Review: at Next Week This week letters Gg & Ss made us think of gifts and Santa! We discussed the difference between our wants and needs. We made a wish list by looking at toy magazines. During math we continued working on addition and finding the missing addends. Our science experiment with cookies and milk was delicious! We completed the scientific process to find out how long it takes for a cookie to crumble in milk. We enjoyed trying to guess the gifts our friends want for Christmas.
