This morning we were able to travel from classroom to classroom to enjoy all the different nativity scenes in each classroom!
A big thank you goes out to parent council for everything they do for our school. They are the reason we have some great new additions to our classroom library!
We spent two days with Mrs. Bartel this week creating some beautiful Wise Men Banners! They are on their way up on the wall and will be up for the Christmas Concert next week!
Students were each given nicknames to go along with the story of Maniac Magee. We are using those nicknames as an inspiration point for the piece of narrative writing they are going to be doing. They are writing a story about how their character got this nickname, and it is not based on the real person in our class. Students brought home their journal last night to show you their planning page. We are using the narrative writing diamond to help us with writing. This assignment will probably take us until Christmas as we work through each part of the story.
This morning we worked on writing our entertaining beginning, and will continue working on that part tomorrow. We talked about how authors don't write a novel in one day, and so we are not going to be writing our whole story in one day. If students bring home parts of their story for homework, please be aware that it is not the whole story that they are expected to finish for that particular day. We all had an absolute blast on Tuesday cooking at the Blue Flame Kitchen! Students learned kitchen safety as well as healthy eating and cooking! They all sound very excited to make some meals for you!
