We helped Mrs. Stanski decorate the gym for the concerts. We used music note paper to make Christmas trees. The students used their careful tearing skills to make the layers for the trees.
For Language Arts this week, we wrote letters to Santa. We learned how to write a friendly letter, including a greeting, body, and closing. The students also worked on organizing their body into paragraphs. We met with each student to edit the letters together. Then they wrote a good copy for Santa. These have been mailed to the North Pole and we hope to hear back from him before the holidays.
We also worked on some story writing. After reading the book "All You Need for a Snowman" the students worked on sequencing a story of their own to explain to readers how to build a snowman. The focus of this writing project was to get the students to put their thoughts in a logical order.
For Science, we continued in our lap book, talking about "How Humans Make Sounds". We watched a video showing how sounds are produced and then labeled a diagram together as a class.
We also looked closely at sound waves and vibrations by completing experiment called "Silly Salt". When they students banged on the drum, they could see the salt on the can dance from the vibrations moving through the air.
We are continuing in our handwriting books. This week we learned the letter Oo and Hh.
For Social this week, our focus was on citizenship with our final collection and delivery of the Christmas Elves food donations. 692 food items were donated by the RBES families over the past month, along with $170! Our class, along with 3D, bagged the donations and walked over to the depot to sort all the food. One student left the depot saying, "I feel so good about what we just did".
Art this week is TOP SECRET!
Congratulations to our new Student of the Week!
