This morning, we practiced Christmas program songs with the fourth and fifth graders. After that, the students took a quiz on following directions, which all of them failed!!! Many students missed problems on the homework that's coming home today because they didn't follow the directions! I tried to emphasize the importance of taking your time and reading carefully before jumping into an assignment.
Tomorrow, we will be going to Chenoweth House to sing and play songs and do a craft with the residents there. We will leave at 12:45.
This Friday, I'm planning to have the students do some simple hand stitching with yarn for our Christmas ornaments. Yarn needles will not go through the felt, so we will have to use some pointy needles to be able to do the project. I will discuss with the students how to use the needles and how to be careful with them. If a student is being careless, they will have to stop and put the project away. If you have any concerns or questions about this project, please email me. I would love to have some parent helpers here at that time (Friday, 2:00) to help students and watch to make sure they are being careful. Let me know if you are interested!
Our Christmas party will be Thursday, December 20, which is a half day and the last day of school before break. Email me if you are interested in helping out!
Homework for today...
A few students need to finish their how-to paragraphs.
