We had a blast at our class Christmas party. Kathy Molpus and Dixie Clay thought it would be fun to let the kids plan the entire thing. I divided the class up into the commitee they were most interested in and they began to plan. It was a huge success! We had pizza, chicken nuggets, brownies and every other goodie imaginable. Next, we played a version of the holiday game "Dirty Santa". The students had worked hard during the month of December writing books about their parents. I hope you loved getting that special surprise under the tree Christmas morning! Thank you for all the thoughtful gifts and happies you blessed me with! I also wantto thank all our guest readers that visited the week before Christmas. What a wonderful treat that was! We will begin reading Because of Winn-Dixie when we return from the holidays and report cards will be going home Weds., Jan 7. Don't forget that Reading Fair projects are due Fri., Jan. 9. We are going to be learning about some New Orleans artists and the style that is common in their works this week. We will be creating some oil pastel masterpieces of New Orleans architecture. Clear a spot in your house because these are always "frame worthy". Check out my other website at Teacherweb.com if you want to start studying your new spelling and vocabulary words early. A great New Year's Resolution might be to make all A's this semester! Happy 2009!
