Winter Break
Winter break is from December 20-January 4. We will return to school on Monday, January 5.
Gingerbread Houses
For the last couple of weeks, we have read several versions of the Gingerbread Man. As a class, we have discussed how the various stories are similar and different. The culminating activity for this unit is decorating Gingerbread houses. We will do this on Friday, December 19. I need a little help.
-If you are available early in the week to come in and help construct the gingerbread houses.
-We need jars of frosting in various colors.
- Last call for leftover Halloween candy!
- We will need Marshmallows, waffle pretzels, M&Ms, etc.
-Popsicle sticks for spreading frosting.
-Volunteers to come in and help!
If you can help with any if these, please let me know.
Thank you!
Pajama Day!
In addition to decorating gingerbread houses on Friday, we will also have pajama day! Everyone is invited to wear their favorite pajamas to school for a fun, comfy-cozy day!
Exercise Balls
A HUGE Thank You to our PTO! Our classroom was selected for grant money. With our money, I purchased exercise balls to replace chairs in the classroom. We have 6 balls in the classroom. I put them at one center so everyone has a chance to sit on them. The children seem to enjoy them. If things continue to go well with the exercise balls, I would ultimately be interested in replacing all chairs with exercise balls.
Assessments
Next week we will be administering the district literacy assessment.
