Monday, December 4

Agenda Message: Please help with the BakeSale.

FIELD TRIP ANNOUNCEMENT - AT THIS TIME WE ONLY HAVE 1 VOLUNTEER. WE NEED A TOTAL OF 3 VOLUNTEERS TO ATTEND OUR FIELD TRIP ON TUESDAY, DEC. 19 FROM 10:30 TO 3:20. IF YOU ARE ABLE TO VOLUNTEER PLEASE EMAIL ME. 

Writing:  We are looking at making a book about 'Our Favorite Things'. Each student will write about 2 or 3 of their favorite things. Each student's work will be a part of the book. Each student will then be able to keep their own copy. I played this song to hear some of the character's 'favorite things' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IagRZBvLtw (Sound Of Music)

Today we talked about how we are unique. What is special to me? Here are some answers:
I am unique because...
I have dimples.
I am very flexile.
I can touch my nose with my tongue.




Here is the story that inspired us. After reading this book, ask your child why this author (Mem Fox) may have wanted to write about this idea? Here is the Story: Whoever You Are -

Tomorrow we will read the story - Gifts by Jo Ellen Bogart. We will focus on descriptive words, such as how you might add interesting words (or juicy words) to give the reader a better picture. For example, a fuzzy, pink shirt. Or shiny, stretchy black leggings.

On Wednesday, we will read the story  - The Smartest Giant In Town. We will focus on quotation marks and how we use those marks when someone is speaking.
