We have had a lot of special guests this week and done a lot of work too.
Mrs. Tersoff came in to talk about Hanukkah. She told us the story, shared traditions, and let us play dreidel. The kids enjoyed spinning the dreidels and were a great audience.
Mrs. Gray, Noe's mom, came in to talk to us about Haiti. The class learned a ton and were very interested in life in Haiti.
In reading we practiced retelling Jan Brett stories (The Mitten and The Trouble with Trolls) while paying attention to her specific illustration style. We read a poem and tried to illustrate it in her style. We studied the letters, X, P, and K. In writing we learned to write the letter T/t in our handwriting book and made a card for Mr. Hennessy's birthday. We also continued to practice addition using manipulatives and pictures to solve the problems and figure out how to write addition equations and what each part means in math. We have been talking about seasons and have started making a weather graph.
We also decorated our classroom. We cut snowflakes for our bulletin board and each colored a piece for our classroom nativity scene. We have been reading an advent book and lighting our advent wreath for examen each day.
Next week we have library on Monday so please make sure books are returned. On Friday we have the Christmas show rehearsal in the morning.
Show and tell topic next week is something that you use at your house to celebrate Christmas. It can be an ornament, a family keepsake, a picture of a tradition, a plate for Santa's cookies, etc. Please make sure your child can tell us at least 2 things about it. For example, what it is, why it is used, where it came from, etc.
Today is Max's birthday. Please wish him a happy birthday if you see him!
