I know it only snowed for a total of 8 minutes today and now we have to leave school early, but here is a picture of all of us outside tasting the huge flakes of falling snow right before it stopped!!! Happy Holidays!

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever Field Trip

We had a blast at the play today!!! We received tons of complements about our behavior and respectful nature. Our class rocks!!! Here are some pictures of us going to the play. I was not allowed to take pictures during the play...but at least I got some before!!!

On the bus about to leave.

Waiting patiently in the lobby before we entered the auditorium.

Waiting for the performance to begin. We had some pretty close seats!

Gazette Memo Dec. 14-18

The only homework this week is to study multiplication, read 20 minutes and complete reading log responses.

Winter Mug Exchange
On Friday, December 18th our class will be participating in a Winter Mug Exchange. I am asking that each student bring in one winter/holiday ceramic mug stuffed with small treats and wrapped in some type of plastic wrap. The students will exchange mugs with one of their peers. The mug (including all items inside) should cost no more than $5 and it should be able to be given to a boy or a girl.

The holiday time is when people greet one another with good cheer. During our mug exchange, we will be discussing why it is important to treat people with love, respect and kindness not only at the holiday time, but throughout the year.
I would like all children to be able to participate in the Winter Mug Exchange, so please try and turn in all mugs by Wednesday, December 16th. Let me know if I can assist you in any way.
We will also be having our multiplication sundae party plus a holiday movie. If you would like to donate toppings for our ice cream, that would be wonderful! Everyone has been working so hard on their multiplication!!! They all deserve this tremendous reward!
On that day, the students will also be allowed to wear their favorite pajamas and slippers (bedroom shoes). They may bring in a blanket or a pillow, but not both. I want them to be comfortable and have a special day. I’m looking forward to it!
Items to remember:
*Pajamas
*Slippers
*Holiday Mug
*Sundae Toppings

*Blanket or Pillow

Final Research Day!!!

Today was the last day to gather all the information for the planet group projects. I saw so many wonderful things. Not only were students using resources such as the internet, but they were also using books from the library to help answer some of their research questions. There was also lots teamwork throughout the entire room...way to go Super Space-ka-teers!!!!
