Today has been lots of fun! Aside from the traditional spelling and Wordly Wise tests, we had a wonderful visit from Mrs. Rice, Mrs. Schlact, and Dr. Miller. They shared with us the history of Hanukkah as well as delicious potato latkes, applesauce, gelt, and doughnuts. We loved hearing the story of The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming by Lemony Snicket.


The children LOVED it!!! Mrs. Schlact does a fantastic impression of a screaming latke!

We held rotation this afternoon. Children who worked with me in small groups started writing a story. Remember Tuesday by David Wiesner? The book about flying frogs? Each child chose an animal and a super power before jotting down a few ideas for their stories. Here is the form they used. Those who completed the form were able to begin typing their stories.

Seatwork included work on the Quadrarama for the Judy Blume books. The students are having SO much fun with these. I am anxious for you to get back so you can get started on one yourself.

Today we also had keyboarding practice, PE, Spanish, and Winter Concert rehearsal. Though it was a full day, it went by quickly. We miss you and hope to see you Monday!
