Merry Christmas!

     Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!  I hope you have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Photostory

     Today the students took home CD's containing their completed photo stories.  The students listened to a story about pretending, then they thought about something that they would like to pretend to be and drew a picture of it.  They completed a sentence about their picture.  I then took pictures of everyone with their papers and then had the students choose a picture of the real animal that they were pretending to be.  Each child recorded their voice over this picture saying what they are pretending to be and why they wanted to be that animal.  The students all did a fantastic job and were very excited to record their voices for the story.  I hope that you enjoy seeing and hearing their photostory!

Village Christmas Tree

     Today the kids all walked to the village hall to decorate a Christmas tree.  The kids did a great job on decorating the tree!  :)  Thank you to all the parents that came to walk with us and help us decorate the tree.  Here are some pictures for you to enjoy.

-ad Word Family and Rainbow Writing

     Today the kindergarteners made an -ad word family book.  All of the words in the book end in -ad.  Students chose three different colors and rainbow wrote the words in their book.  We spelled the words together as we traced over the letters in the words with a crayon.  Each word was spelled and traced over three times.  These books will be coming home today with your child.  Please practice reading the words with your child.

First Reconciliation

     Congratulations to the second graders for making your First Reconciliation!  The boys did a great job.

Second Story

     The students read their second library book from the Superkids library called "Oswald Adds".  We read the book together and then students broke into groups of two or three and buddy read the book with each other.  Students also sequenced the events of the story and made their own small version of the book.  They will be bringing this book home.  Please practice reading the story with your child.  Also ask your child what the story was about, after having them read through it.
     We will be starting our next Superkids book, Lily, tomorrow!  So make sure to ask your child what Lily likes to do.

Shaving Cream Letters

     Today the students had some fun writing letters, words, and their names in shaving cream!  They all thought it was really cool to be writing in shaving cream and wanted to know when we will do it again.  Enjoy the pictures from today.  This is a great activity you can do at home with your child too to help them practice their letters.  You can use shaving cream or sand works well too.
