December,  2015

This week our class will be busy practicing "The Santa Strike" for the Christmas Concert.  The students are really enjoying the play and it should be a lot of fun.  We are also very busy making lots of Christmas crafts and decorating the classroom.  On Monday afternoon we go with our buddy class to choose a tree for the school.  

This is Daniel's last week of teaching the students, but he will be back next week to visit us and observe other classes.  He has contributed a great deal to the classroom and I'm sure he's learned much from our active, curious students.  I want to thank the class for being so respectful and responsive to Daniel and doing their best with him.  Mr. S, it's been great having you share the class with me!!!


Subjects

 "Math is the science of patterns."

Writing: Students are writing a biography of a partner and will email it to them when completed.
