Art and Literature Fair!! Please make plans to come and see ALL the AMAZING work that your children have been working on! It's a night you won't forget! Friday December 19, 2014 Gingerbread House Decorating! Please send in the supplies your child will need a few days early so we can plan accordingly. Thanks! Don't forget to bring in your empty (and rinsed out) milk container (half gallon - not plastic) along with your container of white icing! We will be decorating our gingerbread houses the day after the Art and Literature Fair!! An email went out a few days ago. Each child will need to bring those items as well as a small piece of cardboard to build their houses. As far as the candy to decorate, there is a sign up sheet in the main hallway to donate any candy to the cause. All candy sent in will be shared with all of the students to decorate with.
We got right back to work this morning learning the difference between grams, ounces pounds and tons. We estimated then weighed various objects and recorded our findings. We also talked at length about family traditions during the holiday season and why traditions are important. Then to finish out the day we had buddy time with our little buddies from Ms. Nancy's class.
Had a blast doing science with our little buddies yesterday. It's all about pumpkins this week!
Okay, it was bound to happen....... now that most of our review work is done, we will have various homework assignments. So check this page often!!! Our first assignment will be starting right now!! Each student needs to do some research on the animals of madagascar. Then they need to pick their favorite animal and write a paragraph about that animal and WHY they chose it. Below their paragraph, they need to list SIX facts about that animal. Don't stress, you have 10 days to complete it. This report is due Monday November 3, 2014.
Once they present their projects in class, we will be creating their animal here at school for the art and literature fair. As always, if you have any questions please email me :) We had a visitor from the Senators office come and teach us all about Elections. It was fun to learn about the whole process. We talked about all the signs we see on the side of the road and all the crazy commercials and promises some candidates make to win our vote. It was also pretty exciting to have a mock election with pretend ballots. Some of our ballots accidently got lost, which lead us into a discussion of voter fraud. LOL
We had a wonderful week writing halloween stories and creating spooky ghosts, haunted houses and pumpkins.... Don't forget, Monday morning at 8:30 am we will be doing our quick piggy skit with Ms. Wadsworth!! :)
Next Monday is a busy busy day.... It's All school morning meeting where our class will be presenting our little pig play at 8:30 am and parents are invited to come watch our short 10 minute skit. Next Monday is ALSO our field trip to Plimouth Plantation, so pack your lunches and wear comfortable shoes and a jacket!!
In Science our weather unit is underway and in Geography we our learning about the town, state, country and continent that we live on. We're still reviewing in Math and Language Arts because it is so important to have a solid foundation in which to build.
