The students finished off some creative stories they were working on last week. They will be evaluating their own writing and peer reviewing another students writing. This is an important process in developing self awareness of their own abilities and setting goals for themselves for improvement. This is also a time of celebration in seeing areas that they are doing well in!
In gym, students participated in playing dodgeball. Tomorrow the game will be modified a bit so make sure to ask you child about the new rules tomorrow!
Students worked on their webs on the topic that they are an 'EXPERT' in. They will then take these jot notes and turn them into detailed and descriptive sentences.
MS. RAUSER's CLASS: has their webs as homework tonight to finish (4-5 jot notes per topic)
A reminder that all FAMILIES HELPING FAMILIES gifts need to be wrapped/labelled and brought in by December 5th, 2014 (FRIDAY). Please keep in mind that Friday is Parent Teacher interviews and is not a school day for Students...but you can still drop off your gifts if needed on this day. :0)
Thank you again for your generosity and support of this amazing program. Its a valuable program that teaches students the true meaning of the holidays and understanding different quality of life within their own city!

ReplyDeleteMy mom said that she is going to REALLY try and get some families helping families items in.
QUESTION:
Does everybody have to bring in a item for the families helping families thing?

Praveen you are not required to buy or donate items for our Families Helping Families. It is only if you would like to help out our sponsored family for the holidays.
