Welcome to the final month of the year...boy did it go by quickly! We welcomed a new student to our class today, Maddy Owen, who some of you may remember from last year. Her family had moved to California, but have returned to Ewing Young.
Book orders were sent home today and are due back by Monday, December 6th so the orders will be back before the Winter Break.
I will be sending home Volunteer Calendars tomorrow and know that this time of the year can be extremely busy, so please know that I appreciate your time and talents more than words can ever express!
We have 2 and 1/2 weeks full of activities and learning to get through before Winter Break so I look forward to seeing everyone as much as possible so no one misses out on anything. One of our activities is listening to the old radio show Cinnamon Bear. We are listening to the original episodes in class each day and creating a picture story book to go along with the episodes. We are also continuing our studies of the Native Americans of America. As we listen to the legends of the Native Americans, we learn new things about how they perceived natural events and communicated their understanding of the world through pictures and words. The final week before Winter Break we will be spending some time looking at traditions around the world through the holidays.
Here's to a wonderful end of 2010 and a bright beginning of 2011!
