Two more days until the winter wonderland!

Hello room 75!
We have been busy practicing and working hard with our buddies to get ready for the winter wonderland at Cranston School on Friday! Ask your child to share with you what they did today with their buddies and what they did in music class.

This afternoon we listened to three of our classmates share their Origins Projects.
Lucas interviewed his grandfather and shared what he learned about Portugal.   He was very proud to show the picture he included of his grandfather holding a trophy from when he played "futebol".

Nik interviewed his dad and enjoyed sharing his powerpoint on his country of Origin, the Ukraine.  He did a wonderful job reading the information from the slides, especially when he was discussing all the different foods.

Kaden interviewed his Grandpa about growing up on a farm in British Columbia, Canada.  Kaden included photographs to show the different artifacts that he was talking about.  He showed pictures of the battery powered radio his grandpa used to listen to the news on, as well as a picture of some of the coal lanterns they used to light up their house.
Way to go you guys!!
Ask your child to share with you something they learned from listening to their friends share their projects!

Tomorrow, we will continue to listen to a few more students share their projects to the class!  Keep up the good work.
