Tomorrow, Tuesday, December 15th is our annual Winter Concert!  I'm really looking forward to seeing and hearing the wonderful performances.  The concert starts at 6pm.  Please bring your child to our classroom at 5:45 - I will be there with them and you will be free to go and get yourselves some seats for the show. Then, just before 6 we will go to the gymnasium as a class. During the concert we will sit together as a class.  When the concert is over I ask that you please pick your child up from me, in our classroom.  Things can get very busy and confusing when everyone starts moving around the gym and it can be difficult for me to see where everyone is going and who they're going with.  While very fancy attire is not required, it is expected that students will dress up if possible - no jeans or t-shirts please.  I'm looking forward to seeing you all.  Enjoy the show! 

On Wednesday, December 16th our class will work with our Big Pals to decorate gingerbread houses! We are looking for donations of all sorts of goodies to help make this fun, holiday event a success. The link to our SignUp Genius is below.  Please don't limit yourselves to the items listed there - they are just suggestions.  Feel free to send in any additional goodies you think might be good for our project.  We will be making approximately 30 gingerbread houses. Thank You!

Firsties have been hard at work learning how to write narratives.  We've worked on making our narratives interesting to read by giving them: an interesting hook in the beginning, transition words and details in the middle, and powerful endings.  I am truly blown away by the amazing authors we have! Today we got together with Mrs. Remick's class and we celebrated our hard work by sharing our narratives that we created based on puppets we made.  Congratulations Firsties - You are Incredible! 

On Tuesday we visited the Montshire Museum of Science.  Firsties spent time exploring the museum in small groups and then we got a chance to visit their Star Lab!  This was a great way to kick of our study of Space and the Night Sky.  While in the Star Lab we got to see what the night sky looks like at different times, find some constellations, learn how to find the North Star, and more.  It was a fantastic day of fun and exploration with science.  Check out our video below to see some of the fun we had. (Don't forget to use your free visit pass!)
