Reader's Theater
This morning, we did Reader's Theater (small plays where students practice their fluency - reading the words on the page with expression). The kiddos separated into small groups and worked together on different fables. Groups made props and actions to enhance their presentation. Then, all the group performed their fable for the class (we even had some outside visitors of Ms. Benson, Ms. Norwood and Mr. Smith). I think all the kiddos enjoyed reading, presenting, and listening to a variety of fables this morning!
As a reminder, we have our spelling test tomorrow. We have been working on long a words with the vowel pattern ai & ay. Our words this week are: drain, gain, braid, train, raise, stay, tray, gray, clay & play.
Special Visitor
We had another special visitor today in room 26! Kaydn's parents and sister came in with their family's pet bearded dragon named Rex. We learned that the bearded dragon is originally from Australia and some other interesting facts. The kiddos had a chance to pet Rex if they wanted to.
Winter Attire
Please make sure that your child is coming to school with a winter coat, gloves/mittens, hats, etc. Today when we went outside for recess the wind chill was 24 degrees. Cheeks and hands were definitely red and cold when we came in.
November Book It
If your child has completed the November Book It goal of 300 minutes read at home, and has not turned in his/her form the due date for turning in is tomorrow, Friday, December 2. Thanks for supporting your child's reading and giving them the opportunity to earn a free personal pan pizza!
Pajamas Tomorrow
RBE has been collecting pajamas for The Rainbow House this week. So if your child has donated a pair of pajamas they can wear a pair tomorrow to school. Please remember that it is winter time, so make sure that they pajamas are winter-like pajamas. It is windy & cold on the playground!
