HOLIDAY PARTY

Thank you so much for all of your help and all of the wonderful presents. Our holiday party was super fun. The students decorated gingerbread cookies,played Candy Land, and played games. They had a great time. Thanks so much for your donations and time. I couldn't have done it without you. A special thanks to our room mom Mrs. Dingle for organizing it all. Have a safe and fun winter break. Don't forget the winter reading challenge.

Shapes and the Nutcracker

     This week we had a fantastic field trip to see The Georgia Ballet perform The Nutcracker. The students looked their best and behaved fantastically. They really enjoyed the show and were amazed at how the ballerinas could stand on their toes.

     We have started a new math unit on shapes. Students are responsible for describing shapes according to their attributes-like sides and angles.

Energy

Last week we learned all about heat. Not a moment too soon. Boy, has is it cold outside! In the Science Lab the students saw how heat changes matter by making pancakes. They were also able to see how plants use heat to make food and store energy. They dug up the sweet potatoes they planted last year.  In class we learned how to Close Read and make Think Marks. Please see the pictures below.

We will continue to practice Close Reading and study energy next week. If you are able, please join our class for Thanksgiving lunch on Thursday at 11:00.
