Christmas Festivities

Wow! We loved all our goodies and appreciate everyone who helped to contribute to our Christmas fun last week. It's hard to believe we are out for 2 whole weeks!! I hope everyone enjoys their time off with their loved ones

Candlelight Luncheon

Polar Express Fun!

What a relaxing and fun day we had drinking hot chocolate, and watching the Polar Express movie. The kids never get tired of hearing the story, and I have to admit neither do I!! :) We also shared our favorite books of all time with one another. It was interesting to see how many of them shared the same favorites. Some of the popular ones were "Verde, Stories of Santa Up on the Housetop, Polar Express, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Diary of A Wimpy Kid, etc" This was my favorite part of the day! I love hearing kids be excited about reading and sharing their love of books with one another.

Edible Rocks Labs

What a sweet treat...VERY SWEET TREAT!! :)







Time to bake our layers of sediment!



Sedimentary Rock







Metamorphic Rock



Thank you for all the donations to help us make our edible rocks labs such a treat! The students learned about how rocks are actually formed and had fun while learning it. We melted chocolate chips and put them in the freezer. We checked back again at the end of the day and our melted chocolate had cooled and hardened. This helped us understand how Igneous Rocks are form.

Mystery Reader # 5

We welcomed Mrs. Magee to our classroom this week as a mystery reader. She speaks French and even lived in Paris one semester in college! The kids thought that was the coolest thing ever. They kept asking her to say their name in French, and wanting to know if their last name was French. She read to us The Sweetest Fig by Chris Van Halzberg. It's a very cute book and the kids loved how it ended with a twist! This author is also know for his books like Polar Express and Jumanji...two of my personal favorites! ;)
