Community Nutcracker

We were so lucky to be able to experience a performance of The Community Nutcracker on Friday.  The students traveled to The Florida Theater and got to dress in their holiday finest.  Everyone enjoyed the beautiful music and wonderful dancing.  I think a few students were inspired to become ballerinas one day. :)

Persuading The Grinch to Grin!

Our boys and girls are becoming such amazing persuasive writers.  We have been learning how to support our opinions with reasons.  Our task on Thursday was to convince that grumpy Grinch to grin!  Take a look at some of the ideas the students had to get the Grinch to crack a smile.

"I would give him a hug and a kiss and I will be his friend."

"I would give him roses on a sunny day."

"I would give him flowers because it would be perfect for him."

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like The Holidays!

Well December has arrived! What a lot of fun we have in store before Winter Break!  The boys and girls are having fun learning about traditions of the holiday season!  Stay tuned for many more updates over the coming days!  We are having a blast learning, reading and writing about Christmas, Hannukah and Kwanzaa!  What a fun time of year!

Our Elf has arrived! Breezy is keeping an eye on the students daily and reporting back to Santa at night!

He even leaves us messages every day!  Ms. Isaacs is able to take a break from writing the morning message!!

Rudolph is retiring!  Did Karla persuade Santa to choose her as the new reindeer  "I would be a good reindeer because my nose will glow in the dark and I am a good flyer!"  Way to go Karla!
