Seventeenth Week of school

We had a wonderful field trip to the Nutcracker on Tuesday. We finished up our power point research and shared them with the class. In reading we started working on summarizing what we read and putting it into our own words. This is a difficult skill and we will continue to work on this next week. In math we are still working on 2 digit subtraction with and without regrouping. We started working on some poetry and wrote some neat candy cane poems. Some have posted them to their kidblog. The rest will finish them next week. We have been getting lots of cards from our holiday card project! It is so exciting to see what states they are from each day.

Sixteenth Week of School

We had a fun week learning all about the Nutcracker to get ready for our field trip. We watched an animated book that had many songs from the Nutcracker, read the book of the Nutcracker.  Did some research and found things about faries, reindeer, nutcrackers, toy soldiers and lots of other interesting things.  We made Nutcrackers for our Christmas tree. We are excited to go to the Nutcracker field trip on Tuesday.  We have been working on subtraction with regrouping.  This is a hard concept and will take a little while to understand.  We will continue to work on this until Christmas Vacation. It was nice to have a 2 hour delay this week.  It was a much needed break for all of us.  We were sad to lose Cody.  He is moving back to Michigan and will be missed by all of us.
