Dec. 5-9

Let it snow! 

While it was just a dusting, the kids were very excited to see the snow!  If you send your child in boots, please make sure there is a change of shoes for inside...especially on gym days.

Our letter was N and our sight words were "we" and "me."  We sequenced the accumulative story The Napping House.  We wrote "nice notes" to each other in writer's workshop.  We read and learned about the nickel and played a nickel flip game.  Noodle sorting helped us count and record different numbers of sets.  In science we learned about the characteristics of living and non-living things.  In citizenship we talked about which noise /voice levels are appropriate for the school setting.  The book Noisy Nora helped with this discussion.  We enjoyed a great fifth great music program.  The kids were respectful audience members.  We continued our nutrition unit and celebrated those who participated in the food group snack activity...we also recognized those who had healthy snacks!

Thank you to those who brought in money to help the cost of our gingerbread activity and family gift.  If you are considering donating $2, it will be much appreciated!  We will have a fun two weeks before winter break! 

Have a great weekend!
