Only one more week before Christmas break! Our classroom is slowly transforming into a winter scene. Next week we will get to complete the transformation with Christmas decorations. We have been enjoying our Advent story, Ishtar's Odyssey, quite a bit, and we all agree that the main character has some serious challenges when it comes to thinking before he speaks or acts....especially since he is travelling by foot and camel from Persia to Bethlehem.
IMPORTANT INFO FOR NEXT WEEK Our all school Christmas Program, is coming up on Monday, December 16th at 6:30 pm. Friday, December 20th, is a late start day! PLUS we will be having a White Elephant Gift Exchange, and class fun time. The White Elephant exchange is not meant to be stressful, all I have in mind is for the students to bring something from home that they no longer need and is approved by you. There is really no need to spend money on this exchange, if you do wish to purchase something, please limit to under $5 dollars. If you have questions between now and then, please let me know. Here is what the class discussed today at the end of the day for food - Meat & Cheese Tray -Luke & Hannah Crackers-Michael Meatballs-Jenna Veggies-Gavin Fruit-Mia Cookies-Aderinoye Ice Cream- Luke Drinks-Grace & Luke (non-caffeinated please - root beer, sprite, ginger ale, etc...) Pretzels & melting chocolate - Mierow Chocolate truffle stuff - Mierow What are we learning? Religion: we have been reading Ishtar's Odyssey. Science: we have created paper slide videos to explain this process. Health: we are talking about Mental Fitness. We just had our first book check in this week. Each student had a chance to tell us about the book they chose and what they have discovered so far. Our next book check in will be December 18th. Please reference the email I sent about our new book project. Ask your student about the classes they have outside of our room too! :) I pray that you have had a great weekend!
