Day in review by Gabby Davis: 
Today we finished up our angels that are supposed to be ornaments.  We also made cinnamon ornaments.  We read the Judy Moody and Stink The Holly Joliday book.  In music we played a lot of musical games.  A woman from Cocheco Valley Humane Society brought her dog, Sasha, to teach us about the things that pets need.  We wrote thank you letters to Ms. Smith for doing a great job for the concert.  Don't forget about pajama day on Friday, December 21st.

12-12-12

Day in review by Samara Buck:

Today we started with snack instead of Morning Meeting.  Then we had Morning Meeting.  After that, we had Open Circle.  (We talked about dealing with teasing.)  Then we went to recess and lunch.  Reader's Workshop was after lunch.  In music we learned rhythms to do with your hands.  In Writing we learned that you can write letters about things that bother you so that people will change. 

We also thought that it was super cool that we stopped for a moment when it was 12:12 on 12-12-12!

Day in review by Caleb Flintosh:

We had library today.  Mrs. Buck read a Chinese book called, The Hunter.  In writing today, we did more work on our "writing for change" writing.  We made a chart that tells us some advice about writing for change.  In Morning Meeting we practiced our holiday concert songs.  We did more work with thermometers and change diagrams in math. 

REMINDER:  Pajama Day is on Friday, December 21, 2012.

Day in review by Dakota Sargent:

In art we did splatter painting.  In reading we practiced reading with fluency.  During math time today we practiced reading thermometers.  We learned that 70 degrees fahrenheit is room temperature and that water freezes at 32 degrees fahrenheit and 0 degress celsius.

Our day in review by Luke Whisler:

Today in Open Circle we talked about destructive and dangerous behaviors.  We learned that if we see dangerous or destructive behavior we need to tell an adult immediately!  We had music.  We practiced songs for our holiday concert.  Then we had an assembly about being a buddy, not a bully.  We got bracelets that say, "Be a buddy, not a bully".  We worked on our "writing for change" in writing and picked the piece that we want to publish.  We worked on reading with fluency during reading time.

Our day in review by Samantha Szmyt

We started our day by having a visitor named Mrs. Shaw who did Open Circle with us.  We learned that people make mistakes and sometimes you can learn a lesson from your mistakes.  After recess and lunch we had a great writing time because people were working hard.  We also had reading and it was fun because people were reading quietly so we didn't get distracted.  Then at Social Studies we learned about communities and community workers.

Switch in Special Schedule

Hello Families,
This is the week that our related arts schedule changes.  We will no longer have Library two times per week.  Our Library time is now only on Tuesdays, so Library books should be returned on Tuesday mornings.  We will now have Computer Lab on Friday afternoons.
