Pajama Day

We all looked so cute in our pajamas today! Mrs. Ledford and Mrs. Vaillette had matching monkey pajamas on, (of course), and even a few students had monkey pajamas too! We had a fun day! Don't forget to read every single day over the school break and fill out your book log daily! Have a great holiday! See you back at school on Monday January 4th!

It Snowed At School Today!

We had a snow-making machine outside our classroom today and we all got to walk through the snow! It was fun!

Thanks Parent Volunteers!

Thanks to all the parents that were able to stop by and help out with our craft centers. Dillyn's grandma, Isaac's mom, Matthew's mom, Justin's mom, Sofia's mom, even Mrs. Ledford's mom!! We really appreciate your help! Thanks also to everyone who donated little "trinkets" for our holiday gift bags! We love our parents!! :)

Holiday Party

We had a great time at our Holiday Party on friday! We split up into groups and made a bunch of different crafts. We made a holiday bookmark, a snowflake magnet, a snowman ornament, a photo penguin, and a bag to put them all in. Here are some pictures of our fun-filled afternoon!

Author Study

We have started a new "author study" on one of our favorite authors, Robert Munsch. We will be reading many of his books over the next couple weeks (he has published over 40 of them). He writes a lot of funny books that children can make connections to. It would be a great idea to check out some of his books next time you are at the public library! If you want to learn more about him...check out his website at:

www.robertmunsch.com

Some of the Robert Munsch books we will be reading in class are:

~ Aaron's Hair
~ I'm so Embarrassed
~ Get out of Bed
~ More Pies
~ Alligator Baby
~ The Paper Bag Princess
~ Ribbon Rescue
~ Mmm, Cookies
~ Look at Me
~ Andrew's Loose Tooth
~ Jonathan Cleaned Up - Then He Heard a Sound
~ Thomas' Snowsuit

(But he has MANY more great books!!!!)

Door Decorating Contest

Our school is having a classroom door decorating contest for the holiday season. Of COURSE we had to somehow use a monkey...

Our class thinks that we will win 1st place! :)

Geometry

We are enjoying our geometry work in math investigations. Our work this week is focusing on composing and decomposing shapes and altering designs to use more of fewer pieces to cover the same space. We are using shapes such as: a square, hexagon, trapezoid, rhombus, and triangle. Here are some pictures of us at work today. We were filling the same shape in 3 different ways.
