ADVENT DAY 5 (Friday, Dec. 5th, 2014):
Play
fun Christmas music and have a dance party during class meeting time. (We forewent the Christmas music and just played some great dancing tunes and ROCKED OUT- it was a BLAST!!! I love making these awesome memories with these sweet babies!)
ADVENT DAY 6 (Saturday, Dec. 6th, 2014):
1)
Bake cookies! Even better, bake
cookies with a sibling or other family member and share them with everyone for
a great dessert treat. Yum! (I'm sure you have old family recipes, but on the chance you do not, I've posted some links to basic but common and popular Sugar Cookies recipe HERE, Snickerdoodles recipe HERE; Chocolate Chips recipe HERE, Peppermint Pinwheels recipe HERE)
2)
Snuggle up in mom and dad’s bed and read, "The Night Before Christmas."
ADVENT DAY 7 (Sunday, Dec. 7th, 2014):
1) Do something around the house to
make life easier for a family member. Whether it’s picking up a
sibling’s toys, straightening a parent’s work space, or helping clean up the
kitchen, pitch in as a family and do something nice for each other.
2)
Use only Christmas mugs for all of your drinks for an entire
day.

| Mrs. Schleg's elf, Noel, had a special "gift" of magic for Hailey this morning! HA! |
And also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MARGARET (5S) tomorrow!!! We hope you have an extraordinary weekend celebrating the wondrous day of your birth! Oh how we love you so!
Students got back their unit 2 assessments and I must say, I had chills- they absolutely KILLED them! Seriously, they did sensational as a whole and I am so, so happy and so very proud of them! Muuuuuuuch better than Unit 1, that's for sure! These grades have already been entered into their averages on Sycamore. The students completed their Wrong-Answer Analysis of these questions in class. THEN, we used the writing prompt (and argumentative/ opinion piece) from this assessment to do some peer scoring and editing. This will be reflected as a writing grade once I read through them all and get them graded. Finally, students completed their snowflakes from their Advent Day 4 activity.
