Thank you for all of the wonderful gifts and to everyone that brought things for the party!
Here are some pictures from the party and when we met with our buddies!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The Holiday Party will be on Dec. 22nd at 10:00 a.m.

This week:

We reviewed shapes, true and false equations, and missing addend in math. In reading we compared and contrasted Christmas stories. In writing, we added describing words to our story.

We made a Christmas newscast. Some students reported the weather, told us about their elf on the shelf or reindeer, reported news from the school and the classroom. They were very creative! I am hoping to upload it to the blog over Christmas break, as long as I can work the technology :)

I will not be updating the blog on Monday or Tuesday next week. This will be the last update until after Christmas vacation.

Happy Holidays to all of you!

Next week:

We will review nouns and verbs. We will discuss syllables and review goods and services.
