Gingerbread Houses and DARE Graduation Reminder

Greetings from Room 10,

     On Friday we celebrated the coming holiday by decorating gingerbread houses. I was amazed to see how well the children worked both independently and with their second grade buddies. They had so much fun!! We were all impressed by how well they shared and helped one another. Thank you to Mrs. Jennings and Mrs. Danz for organizing all the supplies and for all of our 5B families for donating supplies for the gingerbread houses. Special thanks to Mrs. Jennings for coming into the classroom and helping us out on Friday. Following are some photos of our gingerbread decoration extravaganza!

     Just a reminder that tomorrow, December 17th at 9:45am, the children will be participating in their DARE Graduation. All are invited to attend.

                                                                   Take care, Lester B. and Class

Crazy Hat & Crazy Hair Day!

Greetings from Room 10!

     This has been a particularly ambitious week, and the children enthusiastically rose to the occasion. We are in the editing stages of our narrative writing piece, and we began our first book clubs of the year.  Our focus in book clubs initially will be characterization. This is an area of review. However, determining theme is our new concept. They are doing wonderfully!

     Today we celebrated a great start to the new school year with a popcorn party and CRAZY HAT & CRAZY HAIR DAY!  Throughout the school year, we will enjoy special events like this to celebrate.  Speaking of celebrations, Wednesday is our Halloween Party. Our party will begin at approximately 2:20pm and go to the end of the day. All are invited to attend. We will play BINGO and enjoy treats.

      Auditions for A Monstrous Tale are scheduled for November 6^th or 7^th. Be sure to arrive a few minutes before the audition so we can keep the process running smoothly.  Our goal is to make the auditions fun and not-at-all scary. We will take photos of all the children during their auditions.

      For American Education Week, you are invited to join us in the classroom on November 6^th from 11:15-12:00 and then join your child at recess/lunch at noon.

      Our Annual Eat, Shoot & Read event is November 8^th. The fifth-grade class is hosting a snack bar and will sell pizza. If you haven’t already pre-ordered your pizza, you have until November 5^th. Otherwise, we will sell pizza by the slice. Check out the Sign-up Genius to donate food items.

      If you haven’t already done so, please use the Sign-Up Genius link I provided to schedule a conference. I look forward to chatting with everyone!

      I am attaching some photos I took this morning.  Enjoy!!!

                                                                 Have a great weekend!  Lester B. Debbi B. & Class
