What’s Happening in Room 8

On Friday, we all got new bucketfiller shirts, and had a fun assembly. Check us out!

Winter has really settled in! The students still go outside for two 20 minute recesses each day, so please help your child remember to dress for the weather. It’s great to get outside in the fresh air, but it’s chilly if you’re not dressed for it. Also, the kids need shoes to wear in the classroom. So many things to remember!

We are hard at work in room 8. One thing that’s keeping us busy is an animal research report. Each student chose an animal to learn more about, came up with some questions, and dug in to the giant piles of books in the classroom. It’s hard work to read nonfiction books to find answers to questions, but everyone is working hard. Next the kids will be making a slideshow to share all their information.

Welcome to 2010! I can’t wait to see you on Monday and hear all about the fun you had on your two weeks off!

I hope you all had a wonderful time with family and friends and are enjoying your break from school. Are you reading?

Here’s a peek a the fun we had at the party last Friday. Thanks again to the parents who pitched in!

Thanks to Halle’s mom, who sent in a couple pictures from the Christmas program.  Alexa’s mom sent some photos too-

We had a great time at the party on Friday! Thanks so much to the hard working moms who organized and ran the party, the kids had a great time.  I’ll post pictures soon. If you took any at the program on Thursday night, or the party on Friday, email them to me and I’ll post them for everyone to see. (I forgot my camera on Thursday night!)

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday break, I’ll see you next year!
