DECEMBER

I am not sure how it is December?! The weeks and days are flying by. I don't always love the holiday rush, but I do love the month of December at school. I love the excitement in the kids and all the fun activities we get to do along with learning!

We started pair reading this week and they LOVE it. They are reading a book with a buddy and journaling after each chapter. It is so cool to see them reading together and talking about what they have read. We are also reading The Chocolate Touch as a class. We are doing comprehension activities to go along with our reading. It great to listen to their perspective of what is happening in the book.

On Friday we had a Grinch day! We wrote poetry, listened to the story, did a directed draw, and ate Grinch chocolate. It was a great day!

Here are some photos from our last few weeks:

We had so much fun doing community service. The Intermediate Wing made center pieces and ornaments for the Senior Center and than made a delivery. We also walked in the Davis Woods and made decorations for the Holiday Concert.

We started a new science unit on traits and selection. The had to sort fruits into groups they thought they belonged in.
