Getting Festive!
Students worked really hard getting our hallways and classroom decorated for December. They made wreaths and each wrote a winter themed Haiku. A Haiku is made up a 3 lines with the syllable pattern 5, 7, 5. For some students, counting syllables was tricky!
Proper Nouns
Students discussed proper nouns and why they need to start with a capital letter. Then, they practice listing as many as they could. In teams, they had to write different kinds of proper nouns (states, people, restaurants, etc) with their team's color. The goal was to get as many without repeating a proper noun another team listed!
Extras!
We were lucky enough to hear the middle school band perform some Christmas music and then get excited about this year's science fair during an assembly.
We took time to relax and refocus by doing yoga.
Last Day Before Break
Students participated in a sing-a-long and then got to eat, look through their stockings, and watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
