Seasons Greetings!
This
has been a spectacular week. We got so much accomplished while having fun. I
think the highlight of the week was participating in the “Hour of Code”
yesterday afternoon. Through the website, code.org,
the children learned how to program the video game Minecraft. They had to write code to maneuver through 14 levels.
THEY LOVED IT!!
This afternoon the children will enjoy a rollicking game of
dreidel where they will play for Starburst Fruit Chews. I am attaching pictures from the games, as promised!
They just finished their first writing unit and are submitting their
final copies to me a few at a time. Our next writing assignment will be a DARE
essay. We have explored seven amazing ways to write an introduction, and I will
give the kids an opportunity to get started with the essay in school. They will
be expected to finish the DARE essay at home. They may hand-write or type their
final copy. I have not given them a due date yet, as we are unsure of the DARE
Graduation date. I suspect it will be sometime in January.
December 23rd
at 9:50am will be our Kidnastics show, and our holiday party will be
immediately following. Plan to join us! Have a wonderful warm weekend!
