The last few weeks we have been busy little elves in room 102. The kids have worked hard at their end of the quarter testing, and they have also been busy writing narratives, reviewing addition and subtraction, and reading various Gingerbread stories. We have have compared and contrasted several versions of the Gingerbread Man and have reviewed various comprehension strategies to go along with our stories (character traits, story elements, and point of view). On Monday, our elf, Kringle arrived along with a letter and picture of Santa. The kids worked on writing their letters to Santa on Monday in hopes that Kringle would take note of their needs and wants. Through this writing activity we talked about the difference between a need and a want, and practiced using commas in a series as we wrote our letter. The kids enjoyed writing their letters as well as completing the elf that went along with this writing project. We ended our Christmas festivities today with a Pancake Party. A big thanks to our Bright Futures Sponsors, Eyecare Specialities for providing and cooking pancakes for our class. The all loved the yummy breakfast and fun saran wrap game.
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and relaxing break! I will see all my kiddos on January 3rd. When we come back Mrs. Trebble, will be in our room as a student teacher. I am looking forward to the awesome experience of getting to co-teach with her.
