We will remember many things about this week. Here are a few highlights:
Our winter concert Tuesday evening was an exciting event! Everyone did their best and had fun. Thank you for attending the concert, and for being part of this special night. Thank you to Mrs. Rito and Ms. Wood for their hard work teaching us and preparing us to perform so well. Here is an outtake of my attempts to capture a class photo of us dressed in our finest.
To balance all the excitement surrounding our concert (and several December birthdays), we also enjoyed moments of calm as we continued to write and read our non-fiction books, channeled our creativity with card making, and watched a nature documentary. We still completed a lot of focused work in math and science, and helped to take care of each other. Students came home today with backpacks full of completed work and a small white bag of treasures. They filled their white bag with items to help them have calm, mindful moments during this vacation. The items include: a shell, a rock, a gem, sticky notes for quick positive messages, weaving, word finds, zones of regulation tips and a pencil buddy. A few students even labeled their bag "peace" or "happy" or top secret".
Other things to ask your child about this week:
*effects of wind, water and sun on land
*breathing with gems
*Zones of Regulation with Ms. Amblo
*Don't Say That Word! and rhyming as Phonics Professors
*Whole-school celebration to watch "Frosty"
Thank you for your support!
Mrs. Hock
