I would like to give a special thanks to Nicole's mom, Mrs. Ortiz-Jones for being our Mystery Reader this week. She read a cute holiday story called I've Seen Santa and even donated a copy to our classroom library! She also brought candy canes for the kiddos as well as her favorite version of The Night Before Christmas. The kids had a real treat on Tuesday!
We've continued to work really hard at our Geometry unit this week. The kids should now be secure with plane & 3D shapes, parallel & non-parallel lines, and area & perimeter. They will be taking their outcome assessment on geometry next week.
Reading was so much FUN this week! The kids had a blast learning about the various types of humor that authors use in their writing such as alliteration, puns, and personification.
Our nonfiction writing is off to a great start. Everyone has chosen an animal, written "I wonder" questions, and began researching their topic. They're finding out really interesting facts about their animals!
Our suitcases are packed, our passports are ready, and we've boarded the Polar Express! The train is taking us to many places around the world to learn how different countries celebrate Christmas.
We wrote another recipe and created "Rudie the Reindeer" this week. Thanks to the families of Nicole, Matthew, and Zoe for being our Snazzy Snack Shoppers this month. The reindeer turned out really cute!
We're going to have a busy week next week. Please take note of the following important days:
- December 20th is the last day to donate non-perishable food for the Student Council Food Drive.
- If you're donating items for our stockings, please send in your goodies by Wednesday.
- Thursday is the Winter Party! Everyone is encouraged to get into the festive spirit by wearing a Santa hat, Reindeer antlers, or a pretty holiday bow. I can't wait to spend this last day before break with my class!
- There is no school on Friday, December 23rd. School will resume after break on Monday, January 9th.
