We will be having a holiday breakfast on Thursday morning, December 20th. There will be a book swap and each child should bring in a wrapped book. Students are welcome to start bringing in books. Please let me know if you would like help contributing a book and I'd be happy to help- I have many extra books!
Secret Santa:
The students were really interested in doing a "Secret Santa" with the class. They each picked a name and they are NOT supposed to purchase anything. They can make or create whatever they'd like and we will reveal on the same day as our holiday party.
Altered books:
Our altered books project is underway and the students are loving it! It's amazing to see the time, creativity and effort they are putting into this art project. I am proud of their attention to detail and work during this time. Ask your child about it!
IXL:
Have you seen IXL yet? We now have a subscription and students are having fun practicing different math skills. Ask your child to show you around the site- there is a lot of great information under the "reports" section.
We are learning about:
- The circulatory system
- Geometry
- Personal narrative
- Mystery
Some activities we did this week:
- Reviewed for our unit 3 math test
- Practiced geometry skills in IXL on geometry
- Looked at a real boar's heart and identified the parts
- Used a thesaurus to find new words for our personal narratives
- Discussed and read examples of red herrings
- Enjoyed latkes, played dreidel and learned a little about Hanukkah
- Played the headband game to review our circulatory system words
- Created a mystery skype video for an unknown class in the world
- Enjoyed a visit with Ms. Valenti's dad
