Just a quick update....

This post is going to be short and sweet...
 
It seems that some of Santa's elves were busy decorating the classroom over the weekend. The students walked in this morning to find Christmas lights hanging everywhere. Hmmmmm!!?? I wonder what they'll be up to next? I guess we'll just have to keep our eyes and ears open to see what other Christmas fun they might bring to the room during the month of December.
 
Today we learned about the long e vowel sound. Some of the long e vowel patterns we focused on today were:
 
ea = peach     ey = key     ee = teeth     i = ski
tricky pattern ei = theif
 
Once again, we created a list of words with the long e vowel sound and then placed them under the appropriate pattern.
 
Lastly, we will be celebrating 50 days of school this week. We'll be spending the week engaged in a number of hand-on activities centered around the number 50 as well as many 1950's inspired writing and art activities. On Friday, we'll wrap-up our fifties celebration with a costume dress-up day. Everyone is encouraged to come dressed-up in rolled jeans, t-shirts, and poodle skirts or just in the colours pink and blue. We will be sure to have a BLAST!
