Monday

Today we worked on Journals during Guided reading and after Gym. It is a good thing to talk about what we did on the weekend for some of us because that helps us remember. We are trying to write more and think about one topic with added details.

During Gym, we practiced all the things we have learned during basketball unit. We had 4 stations - dribbling high and low (control), chest pass against wall (focus passing and catching), shooting hoops (aim), and "boxing out" keeping our ball from opponents. Tomorrow we will play some mini games to practice all of these at once! We have all improved at controlling those basketballs!

After Lunch, Mrs. Armour showed us a brown paper bag that we are going to use for a book to show so many different things about ourselves. Our portraits will be the cover. Today we discussed what is important ABOUT us (things we can't change) like what we look like, where we were born, our family...and what is important TO us (things we like, our favorites) like our hobbies, pets, food, celebrations. We printed them and created "bubbles" around them and then glued them beside our practice portrait in our art journal. This will help remind us what we want to include in our book.

This week Orange group (Jared, Carmen and Madalynn) are helping with Blog, Red group is organizing shelves, Yellow group is responsible for the Book bins, Green group is recording our Amaryllis growth, Blue group is cleaning desks and Purple is cleaning floors at the end of the day.
Thank you for doing your jobs and helping keep our Clubhouse tidy!

We forgot to choose our "Share Category" on Friday, so Tessa threw the ball and it hit on FOOD. So...this month everyone can bring in something that is special to your family to share (nut free please and thank you! If your special food includes nuts - just share that with us - "usually this has nuts in it, but we left them out to share")
Because there is only 3 weeks in December, we will have one group sharing each week and then everyone can have a chance to bring something for our celebration on the 20th/21st.

Purple group (Georgia, Lily, Colin) can bring something to share this week. Thank you for sending something that is SPECIAL to your family. You just need to bring a "taste" for everyone. Be ready to SHARE why the food is important to your family.
