Well, the holidays are FAST approaching and we have certainly been busy in the classroom so far this month. The students have been working hard on our production of "Santa Goes Green" - practicing lines, dances and songs. It should make for a great Christmas concert this year! Just a reminder for those checking out the blog - the concert will take place on Tuesday, December 17th at 6:00 pm sharp. Students are expected to arrive in the classroom at 5:45 (and doors to the school will open at 5:30). Students can either wear green (for elves) or they can wear dress clothes. I'm looking forward to seeing lots of parents there!
Aside from practicing for our Christmas concert, we have been busy in the classroom too. For December we have been focusing on some Christmas-themed reading and writing and poetry in Language Arts (check out our poems hanging on our bulletin boards!). For math, the focus has been on telling time and writing dates in metric notation (i.e. 12/13/13). Asking students what time it is periodically or having them pratice writing the dates will be a great reinforcement on these skills! We have also done lots of art in the classroom - check out our "Symme-trees" on the art page (Math + Art!).
Wishing everyone a very happy holiday and a Merry Christmas!
