Newsletter for the Week of Dec. 7th

Here's a FREEBIE if you're interested at my TpT Store (How to Catch the Gingerbread Man Writing).  Students wrote how they would catch the gingerbread man last week.

David Goes to School Classroom Door

For the month of December classroom teachers and students decorated their door with their favorite read aloud based around building community, building character, and friendship.

Of course my class voted for David Goes to School!  I made the ENORMOUS (almost life-size and that wasn't the plan) David and students had to "pretend" to break a school rule for a picture.  Oh my!! They definitely enjoyed that part of the project.

On a sentence strip they wrote their sentence and they were added to the door.  Here's the door and some examples of what they wrote.

How To Decorate a Tree

We completed some "How To" writing this week.  Students wrote how to decorate a tree and used sequencing words.

Here's their work and JUST so you know this is a FREEBIE along with some other writing activities at my TpT Store (Holiday FREEBIES).

Newsletter for the Week of Nov. 30th

Turkey Investigations

We've learned A LOT about turkeys.  To share the information students have learned they created a 2 page investigation.  They included a brace map, caption, bulleted list of facts they learned, and work they completed in computer lab.

Here are some examples!

We also made some tie dyed turkeys.  They'll be added to our "How to Cook a Turkey" writing later this week.

Me on a Map

We've begun learning about maps and our place on Earth.  Students wrote about themselves last week and created a map of their bedrooms.

Happy Birthday Sefia

Happy birthday Sefia!!  We celebrated her birthday on Friday.  Her parents brought in DE-licious cupcakes to share with the class.
