Today was a crazy day :) I through the kids off wack by starting off by doing a craft project instead of morning meeting/calendar. They handled this pretty well and did a fabulous job making light-name decorations. Then Ella's mom joined us and helped the boys and girls put glitter on their names. They turned out fabulous! All the children agreed that working with glitter today was their favorite part!
We finished up our stations today and then did a quick language arts lesson. We reviewed the sight word he, then wrote a sentence using the sentence frame "He can..." (climb, swing, go, etc). We have been talking about adding detail to our pictures. I had to remind the students today that that does not mean they have to color the entire picture corner to corner with color :) I appreciate their effort :)
Forgetting that in the winter it takes about 5 minutes extra to get ready at the end of the day, we skipped our story (and much to the children's dismay snack) and got ready to go!
NOTE: (This same info will come home in the newsletter but...)
**The book orders that came home today will be the only ones before Christmas. Remember, if you do choose to order something please use our class code (on order) so that I am able to purchase books for our whole class to enjoy :) :)
**We will NOT be doing the Christmas Program (the all day students practice in the PM so we are never able to practice)
**December 7th we will be having a little holiday party in the classroom. Parent volunteers are welcome. Let me know if you are able, no limit on how many (one per child though). Time TBA, butprobably from 9:45-10:45.
**Thank you so much for the ink cartilages that keep coming in! I will purchase something fun for our whole room to use soon :)
