This week the students continued working on their final narrative writing piece. The students will spend 3-5 writing times creating a story and demonstrating all of the skills they have learned within their writing itself. I am so impressed with what I have seen so far and I know the kids are happy with their work too. I will send home copies of their work in January with the report cards.
On Wednesday, the students continued working on their gifts for you. They are excited to be creating a gift for you and it will truly represent their artistic abilities. We will finish them and wrap them next Wednesday.
The Final Week:
This coming week we will look at the celebrations and traditions of Hanukkah and Christmas. These are the two holidays that the members of our classroom celebrate. On Tuesday, Zip and Olive will help us talk about Hanukkah and share some of the traditions they have around the celebration. On Wednesday, everyone will share their family's traditions around Christmas.
Speaking of Hanukkah, Zip's family had this to share. It sounds like a great way to learn about the holiday. all are welcome and that there is no Hannukah experience required. There will be traditional food which is fried-potato-fritter-kind-of-things (latkes), and donuts. It is important that people RSVP though so that there is enough of the above-mentioned yummy food. Please see the information on the picture below.
NOTES:
*I will not be sending the homework bags home after Tuesday evening.
*Snow is here. Please make sure your child has everything they need for recess time.
Peace,
Mr. Young
