Have a wonderful holiday season with your family and friends. See you in the new year!
Writing
This week, the children addressed their envelopes to Mo Willems and we placed their letters in the mail. We hope that Mo Willems writes back to us soon!
The children also learned how to write a thank you letter. Together as a class, we wrote a thank you letter to Mrs. Lane and Mrs Kelly in the office. The children thanked Mrs. Lane and Mrs. Kelly for all the wonderful things they do for us on a daily basis.
Social Studies
This week, we finished our Holiday Unit. On Tuesday, after learning about Kwanzaa the children made Unity Cups and wrote a Harambee paper. They learned that “Harambee” means “let’s pull together.” The children each wrote about how they pull together with their friends and family.
We concluded the unit by reading, Festival of Lights. The children discussed how all of the holidays we learned about use light to celebrate. The children wrote about how they use light to celebrate at their house. They each created a festival of lights craft to go along with their writing.
First Grade Musical
On Wednesday, the children did a fantastic job at their musical. Students, staff, and parents joined in and enjoyed singing along to some holiday classics as well as listening to some new songs. I am so proud of your hard work, great job boys and girls!
Star Student
Nikolas was our star student this week. Thanks Nikolas for sharing all about you!
Royal Reader
A special thank you to Nikolas’ Mom, she joined us this week as our Royal Reader. The children enjoyed listening to the book that Mrs. Bukranova read, Mooseltoe.
Happy Birthday
We celebrated three birthdays this week. On Monday, we celebrated Jack's birthday and on Thursday, we celebrated Cathryn's and Riley’s birthdays. Happy Birthday to Jack, Cathryn, and Riley!
Our weekly updates will return in the new year. Check back in to see new photos and read about all the wonderful things we are learning!
