This last week in our classroom we were very busy taking our middle of the year (did I just say middle of the year? Time is flying by!) Alpha test. We also worked on verbs, cause and effect and reviewing Rhyme, Rhythm, and Alliteration!
On Tuesday we learned that our Student of the Month for November is Ms. Autumn!! We also started our Santa Countdown where everyday we are gluing a cotton ball onto Santa's beard until Christmas Day!
On Wednesday we started our Candy Cane Countdown. Everyday we read a poem counting down the days until Christmas break and 1 or 2 students gets to take home a candy cane! We also started our 12 days of Random Acts of Kindness! The kids are absolutely loving this! On Wednesday we wrote little notes to put into random library books for other students to find. When we came back into our room from PE we all had candy canes on our desk with little notes from another class that had Random Act of Kindness(ed) us! On Thursday we gave cookies to all of our wonderful cooks and on Friday our class plus Mrs. Flores' class and Ms. Brickhouse's class took donuts to the board office.
On Thursday when the kids got to class there were 11 presents under our class Christmas tree. After lunch we got to open the first present and it was a book! All the kids knew that all of the presents are books but they are really excited to open them and see what book is inside.
Friday we got to decorate ornaments for our 2nd grade tree that is in the gym. I got a puzzle pieces for each kiddo and spray painted them gold. Then we went down to the basement and decorated them however they wanted. At 2:15 we got to enjoy the wonderful dancing of the Hub City Inter-Tribal Youth. They did so amazing and my students absolutely loved it!
Sounds like a fun-packed week! Great job Mrs. Paul!
