Hello room 75...
The kids have decided to have Pajama day on Thursday! We put it to a vote and they decided to have pajama day for the entire day, as well as they can bring in 1 stuffy if they would like. If they do not want to dress in pajamas they can wear a favorite t-shirt and still bring in a stuffy. After deciding that we wanted to have a pajama day our buddies joined us and then we found out that they are also having pajama day!
We listened to a few more of our students share their origins projects today.
Cassie shared her interview of her mom about her great grandma who was from Scotland and emigrated to Canada in 1945. She did a wonderful job of reading what she had typed on the page and then showing the pictures of the flag as well as of her great grandma!!
Meghan was very excited to share her project about her family and included pictures on her poster of the many different countries her family is from. The countries included, Germany, the Ukraine and Poland. She enjoyed sharing some of the many pictures of her family members with the class!
Ethan was quite excited when his name was chosen to share his powerpoint of his interview with his mom about China! He made sure I knew when to press the buttons in the powerpoint so that his graphics could change as he was talking about different things, such as the different parks and different foods of China! Ask your child to share with you what Ethan's favorite part of his presentation was!
We still have a few more friends to listen share their projects and will do so tomorrow and Thursday. Remember if you have not finished and handed in your project to please do so ASAP.
During our Christmas carols we were pleasantly surprised to see that our friends in tone chimes were going to be performing some of the Christmas songs they have been practicing! Brooke, Ally, Ria and Meghan did a wonderful job reading their music and playing their tone chimes in front of the entire school! Way to go you guys!
Many of the students have been hungry in the afternoon and so we have introduced an afternoon snack. This gives the students an opportunity to finish up some of their healthy snacks and parts of their lunch that they may not have gotten to earlier in the day. If you are finding that your child is hungry, please make sure to send additional healthy and fresh snacks as these fill them up much better than processed foods and candies or chocolate. If you are finding that they are not finishing their lunches or eating all their snacks, hopefully the afternoon snack will help them to do so.
Important information:
Thursday is our last day of school. It is pajama and bring your stuffy day for us and our buddies! We will be watching a video as well as playing board games and eating snacks. If your child has a game at home that they would like to bring to school and you are ok with that please do so! If you would like to send a snack or treat to school you are more than welcome to. We have 21 students. We would like the snack to be healthy/ish if at all possible and as always no nuts please. Someone has already brought in a baked treat for the class that is sitting on my table waiting eagerly to be shared on Thursday!!
January 6th- return to school!
Fun lunch orders are due in January- The information is available through our website and weekly newsletters!
Question for the blog:
As 2013 comes to a close, what is something that you are most proud of having accomplished either at school or at home that you would like to share? (Please do not post about video games etc). If you are having a difficult time making sure your answer posts, please write it in your homework journal and bring to school tomorrow:)
PLEASE WRITE YOUR RESPONSE IN YOUR JOURNAL IF YOU WOULD LIKE AS I HAVE BLOCKED THE COMMENT OPTION FROM THE BLOG. WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THIS IN CLASS TOMORROW.
