It's hard to believe that Christmas and the holidays are here. The students are so excited. We have been working on a number of holiday activities.
We read a modern version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Students enjoyed reading this classic tale. They were quick to determine the theme of caring and giving, rather than wanting and getting. We talked about paying it forward and doing the right thing. The story prompted some lively discussion that included all.
We have also been working on holiday themed writing. Students have been making entries to their writing journals daily for the past two weeks. This week they chose their favorite to improve and publish. Their results are full of fun and excitement reflecting their views of the season.
Math class has brought some challenges this Christmas. We are working with fractions. Since our class is still making those multiplication and division facts automatic, we will need to continue of fraction work into the New Year.
Merry Christmas everyone. May you have a Happy, Healthy Holiday!
