Last Week:
Those 2 days were jam packed. We had another buddy lunch and All School Meeting on Monday. We also spent a great deal of time working on the class newsletter. Each student contributed to the newsletter and several student editors typed it all up and designed the layout. That newsletter will be completed on Monday and will hopefully be sent out by Tuesday. Tuesday Laura led us in a great teambuilding activity where students created "monsters." Your children can probably explain it J. Tuesday afternoon we worked with literary devices (writing enhancers) such as alliteration and personification to write poems about Thanksgiving or November.
This Week:
Celebrations of Learning
Wednesday, December 3rd
-At FGCS
-5:00-6:30
-Bring a mug and a treat if you can. We will provide hot chocolate and coffee.
For our celebrations of learning I would encourage anyone that can, to please bring in a treat to be shared. It would be great if we could share some of the food that the students included in their heritage projects. This night will be an opportunity for students to share their heritage projects, their Outdoor School projects and also kick start our service projects. The class has voted on two main service projects for the winter. The first is to adopt a local family to provide gifts for. This will be through the Family Resource Center. The second is to assemble care packages for soldiers overseas. We have several students in our class this year that have family members serving overseas and we really want to show our support. So, this Wednesday, at the Celebrations of Learning I would love to kick start these projects and get the details out to everyone.
For the months of December and January our main theme will be Consumerism. For this unit students will be learning about product life cycles, persuasive ad techniques, reducing consumption and many other aspects of consumerism. Our Out and About to Waste Management will be a great way to get the class thinking about how much we "consume" and waste.
