December News:)
Dear Parents, We have a lot going on during the month of December:) Please note that I am sending home hard copy information of this post as well, so please check backpacks when your kiddos get home.
We are going to be celebrating Gingerbread Days on Monday, and Tuesday, December 16th and 17th from 8:15 - 9:30. Students will rotate through 2 of 4 stations each day. They will decorate a gingerbread boy or girl, make a gingerbread ornament, graph gumdrops, and decorate a gingerbread house. We need donations of candy, powdered sugar and gumdrops. We are also looking for volunteers that would be able to work at a station on one or both of these days. These activities tie in with the Gingerbread Unit that we will be studying during our guided reading time next week. We will learn what a folktale is, compare and contrast several different gingerbread stories, study character traits, sequencing and much more!
We are also studying holiday traditions during the month of December. We are including Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa in this unit. If you celebrate any of these holidays at home and would like to share with our class please let me know. Students are invited to write about a holiday tradition that is important to their family on a special piece of paper that is being sent home so they can share this tradition with their class on our traditions day. We will end our Traditions unit with a celebration on Thursday, December 19th.
Students will share with their class a holiday tradition that is important in their family, and if they would like they may bring a dish to share with their class. We currently have 16 students:)
Don't forget, our class party is Friday, December 13th at 2:15:)
We will finish the month of December with a Polar Express day on Friday, December 20th. We will read the book Polar Express, then student will receive tickets to board the train. We will watch the movie, and work on different activities throughout the day. Students may wear their pajamas to school on this day.
If you have any questions about any of these events please let me know.
FYI: There will be no spelling the last week of school before winter break.
