A little bit of this and a little bit of that!

We've been BOOOOOOed...
When we returned from Related Arts one day, we had been Booed...with this note....a banner blocking our door, candy and ghosts and pumpkins all over our room!  We then Booed another class....we still don't know who Booed us....hmmm?

Pumpkins on chairs

Ghosts on our Behavior Chart

We also decorated and wrote Christmas Cards for the Troops overseas that wouldn't be able to come home for Christmas.  Our friends did a GREAT job at making them feel special.  I cannot wait for the soldiers to receive our letters!





During our Writing Workshop, we read a story, Max's Words, and made our own word collections from magazines, newspapers, etc.  and brought in our collections to use in our writing.  Everyone had a great time using their interesting words to write with...check them out!

Mrs. Jones also came by to talk to us about our character trait of the month, Honor.  

We ended our Maps Unit in Social Studies by creating edible maps...pretzel sticks for roads, m&m's and skittles for cabins, houses, etc., choc. chips for mountains, blue sprinkles for the lake...it was yummy learning!
