Snowball Fight!

We surprised our students at the end of the day with a "Florida-style" Snowball Fight.

Reading Partners




Partnering up proves to be super FUN! Students meet with their reading partner to share their books and ask each other questions about their book. This allows students to show their "thinking" about the book.

Snowflakes



We made snowflakes to decorate our classroom. Each one is as unique as the child who made it!

Auntie Clause







Today as a special treat, students anxiously waited in the Media Center for Auntie Clause. She explained that she is Santa Clause's sister and was sent to read a story to all of the children at Chets Creek. The students sat so still and hung on her every word as she read the story, Auntie Clause. Then she invited them to have a cookie and milk or juice. What a special treat!

The Season for Giving

It is so important to teach kids about helping others. Our class has participated in a few different service projects so far this year. We collected sweaters for the Mr. Rogers Sweater Drive, we collected a lot of personal care items and cookies to provide to The Homeless at The City Rescue Mission, and we are currently making cards and a holiday banner to deliver to individuals at a nursing home. I think that our students are definitely seeing that although they may be small, they can help change something for the better! Thank you for helping us teach and model these important life lessons!

Thanksgiving Breakfast

We were so glad to have so many parents, step-parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, and grandparents at our Thanksgiving Breakfast. We hope each of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Break! We are so thankful for having the opportunity to be your child's teacher. We just love those little cuties! We had the opportunity to learn about life on a submarine from Mr. Danny who answered all sorts of questions from the kids.
