I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. Mine was fantastic. Now we all need to brace ourselves for the freight train that is December.BreadThank you all so much to contributing to our bread baking project. I hope you all enjoyed the finished product! We are especially grateful to Jill Zukerman, Sarah Langan, Meghan Flatley, Sara Niimi, Michele Karol, and Jennifer Altreuter for running the actual baking stations. You guys rock and did all the work; I just walked around in my apron, taking it all in.December HomeworkThe December Homework Calendar is attached. It is basically two projects.Welcome!We are delighted to welcome Marley Eggers to our classroom. The students welcomed Marley on Friday with an Open Circle in our classroom, led by Mr. Lee. We are happy to have a new friend and classmate.WritingWe wrapped up our Personal Narrative Unit by sharing our Small Moment Stories with a Clock Buddy. Each buddy listened to their partner's story and "gave them a hand", by writing them a compliment on something they did well. These students are very appreciative of a good author's craft; I read lots of compliments about writing good similes or strong verbs or onomonopeia. I am so proud of these fabulous authors!Our next writing unit is composing opinion letters about a character in a book.
Have a great week!
