If I Lived In a Snow Globe......

This week the students had a chance to let their imaginations go. They had to imagine that they lived inside a snow globe. Each student created a story of what they would do inside their snow globe. We worked through the writing process of brainstorming, rough drafts, editing, and then publishing. They turned out great!!!

Keep your eye out for more wonderful winter themed activities we will be doing in class the rest of the week!

Picture Program

Think week we were lucky to have Mrs. Otte take her time to come in and teach us about a famous artist. We learned all about the life and work of Grant Wood. The students even got to draw a picture influenced by Grant Wood' piece "American Gothic". 

Then they actually got to be the models and dress up like the people in the picture! Ask your child to tell you all about the artist Grant Wood!!!

A Special Thanks

Our class has been studying about the winter holidays celebrated around the world. We were very lucky to have a special guest come in to talk with our class about the traditions of Hanukkah.
On Tuesday, Mrs. Sucherman shared with us the stories and traditions of Hanukkah. We loved seeing the real menorah she brought and playing with our very own dreidels.

Thank you again Mrs. Sucherman for helping to enrich our learning!
