Today in class we talked about the importance of a n interesting setting when writing a fantasy story. We used a graphic organizer to help us plan the 5 different settings for our Gingerbread person stories. Ask your child what the setting of his/her story is going to be!
In reading we read another version of the gingerbread man and took a scholastic reading test. Today was library so the kids got to have a little extra reading time to spend with their new books :)
In math we did a little re-teaching with paralell lines and quadrilaterals. We also did some math boxes to review elapsed time, adding, subtraction, measuring, and in/out machines.
We had inside recess for both recesses again today. We played with games in the classroom for first recess and watched part of Louis' Santa Paws movie (thanks for sending that in!) for the second recess. I think the kids are starting to get restless being inside all day so let's hope it warms up a little so we can go out again!
Reminders: Bring 1 dollar tgo school this week and you can wear slippers to school on Friday! This is a camp fundraiser for the 4th and 5th graders.
Holiday party in the classroom on Friday between 1 and 2 pm. Everyone is welcome :)
Louis won the drawing to take the Guinea Pig home over break- thanks to all of you who offered! I really appreciate your help with this :)
