December 16, 2013

Good Morning,
  I hope everyone had a chance to have some fun in the snow.  It's always fun to see the excitement on children's faces when they wake up to a snow covered landscape.  My daughters had smiles on their faces and were outside at an fairly early hour yesterday.

  Today, we continued writing a whole class narrative, using Good Dog Carl.  The students also shopped for new Read to Self books and had Reader's Workshop.  This morning, they had Music and this afternoon they had PE.

Notes For This Week:

*There is a math survey in your child's homework bag (1st grade only).  Please fill it out and send it back in tomorrow.  There will not be a new math game this week. I will send one home the first Tuesday that we are back in school.

*We will be working with our 5th and 6th grade reading buddies on Thursday morning.  We will head to Ms. Bassom's room around 9:30.  The students will be learning about an ancient alphabet and use the alphabet to write their name.  This is part of a Social Studies unit that the 5th & 6th graders have been studying.

*We will be watching the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on Friday.  I will have popcorn and juice for the students.

That is all for now.  I hope you have a wonderful week.

Peace,
Tom
