So long 2011

We have had a great week.

Room 16 before our Meeting of the Eagles

In Math...
We reviewed previously taught concepts for Unit 4, and completed our Unit 4 test yesterday. Today we will be making gingerbread gliphs! Look for them in your child's take-home folder. We will be starting Unit 5 on Geometric Shapes when we return from vacation.

In Reading...
It was a review week, so after reviewing previously taught concepts from the past 5 weeks, we took our Reading Unit 2 test.

In Grammar...
We made Synonym Snowflakes!! They look great and are currently falling from the ceiling of Room 16. Be sure to look for them next time you visit!

In Social Studies...
We wrapped up our unit on basic map concepts(parts of a map). We will begin to learn about continents and oceans when we return from vacation.

In Writing...
Our Personal Narrative book is officially published and sitting in our Writing Center in our classroom! I have a feeling it is going to be the most popular book in the library when I announce it to the students today. We also wrote New Year's resolutions. They were awesome! I was really surprised at your children's ability to generate an idea of something that they truly and genuinely wanted to improve on in the New Year.

Lastly...
Thank you to Mrs. Beck, Mrs. Sward, Mrs. Krattenmaker, Mrs. Weatherhead, Mrs. Davies, Mrs. Hudson, Mrs. Hutchins, and Mrs. Dion for coming in and helping during our Winter Celebration yesterday! And, thank you to Mrs. Weatherhead for the yummy treats. The students of Room 16 are so fortunate to have such awesome parents! :o)

Best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year!! See you in 2012. :o)
