Reindeer Day

 

The children had so much fun on Reindeer Day!  We enjoyed eating reindeer sandwiches, making a non fiction reindeer book, creating a reindeer ornament, and identifying the story elements of the classic Christmas story, "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer."

Christmas Around the World

 Students learned about different holiday traditions from around the world.  One tradition is from Germany.  Students placed one shoe outside the classroom door.  After waiting for a few minutes, the sound of jingle bells filled the hallway.  The children discovered "St. Nicholas" had left them treats in their shoes.  What fun!

Thank you YMCA

Students in room 20 wrote thank-you letters to the Martinsville YMCA for providing them work swimming lessons last month. Below are a few of those letters.

Dear YMCA,

Thank you for the swimming lessons.  The lifeguards helped us swim.  It was a great time.

Our First Published Writing

We finally have some great writing in the hallway!  The children worked so hard at planning, writing,  fixing mistakes, and then writing again.  We all chose our favorite American symbol to write about.  Stop by room 20 to see our work on display!
