HOLIDAY PARTY

Thank you so much to all of you who sent in food
and other items for our Holiday Party!  The children
all had a wonderful time eating "party food".

 

 

A BIG thank you to Mrs. Fitzgerald, Mrs. McDaniel, Mrs. Perez, and Mrs. Rivera, who came to school to help out with the party. 
We couldn't have done it without you!

 

The Polar Express

 

Our students listened to The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg several times, in preparation for watching the movie on

Friday, December 14th.  After talking about the story -

characters, setting, and sequence of events - students sequenced pictures from the story to practice retelling it.

You can hear The Polar Express again by watching http://www.storylineonline.net/

Describing measurable attributes

In December, our students described measurable attributes of objects, such as length.  

The boys and girls made cube trains with snap cubes, then ordered them by length. 

Students practiced describing their cube trains

as shorter, shortest, longer, or longest. 

What do you think of our cube trains?

 

 

Okay, some of us are over-achievers ... 

Free pizza

These students each earned a free Personal Pan Pizza from Pizza Hut's BOOK-IT program, by reading (or listening to) ten books during the month of November.  (A couple of other students also earned a pizza after this photo was taken.)  Don't forget to help your child fill out his/her form for free pizza for the month of December.
