11.17.11

Happy last Thursday of school in November, everyone!  Yes, THIS is our LAST Thursday in November...the 17th!  Crazy, huh?!?  And then, only THREE weeks until Winter Break!  Wowza!

I enjoyed seeing everyone today in their boots as we showed pride to "stomp out bullies"! 
Hayden's boots were THE most fun and FABULOUS of the day!!!  I want some for myself!

some of the boots from today :)


WRITING:
Students had orchestra AND Book Fair this morning, so writing was incorporated into centers activities today.
HOMEWORK: none.

READING:
Students watched the story, Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters, which is an adaptation of Cinderella from African culture.  We have watched a synopsis of the version that is familiar to most Americans (Disney), and the German shortened version too.  They have also read a version in their reading texts, entitled, "Cendrillon." After watching the video, students compared and contrasted two versions from our studies to practice our skill of focus. 
HOMEWORK: Read assigned pages from book (the most any group has is 7 to 12 pages) and complete half of role sheet (since it is such a short reading assignment).
ALSO: Study, study, STUDY for spelling and vocabulary tests tomorrow!

SCIENCE:
Students got to go outside for an activity with Ms. Frederick!
HOMEWORK: none.

PM activities:
Students completed workbook pages 46 - 48 for math to practice multiplication.
THEN, we worked on our poster for "Buddies, not Bullies" week.  Wait for pictures to come tomorrow...it turned out GREAT!  I hope we win, but I'm just proud of us working together for a good cause!
HOMEWORK: none.



I hope you have a THRILLING Thursday!
xoxo,
Mrs. Thomas
Thanksgiving is ONE week from Today!
