Dec. 16

We have been working hard singing and decorating our classroom for our big program on Friday.
Morning Meeting-We had surprise suitcase, letter bucket and star suitcase. Ben shared star suitcase today.
Specials-We had music today. We sang some of our program songs for Mrs. Engbloom.
Read Aloud-We read "Who Will Help Santa This Year?" and "Who Will Guide My Sleigh Tonight?"
After reading the stories, we had a quick share. We shared who we thought should guide Santa's sleigh. Then we drew a picture to go with our ideas.
Shared Reading-We read "Cat Sat" for our shared reading. We read them with partners. We put them in our blue reading pouches and we are bringing them home today. Please listen to your child read the story. Most of the students can read it easily. Help them put it in their enveloped called "My Mini Book House" to read later. We talked about what good readers we are becoming. In the beginning of the year, most students could not read the story we read today. We were excited about all of the things we are learning.
Rest Time-We read from our story "Dinosaur Detectives" a Magic School Bus book.
Math-We did calendar and our calendar books. We had work jobs.
Special Activity-We practiced our whole program in Mrs. Leaman's room. Tomorrow we are performing in Day 5 Alive. We are very excited.
