Friday!!

Hello one, hello all! What a great day overall! The students are very amped up for Christmas, but they held it together today to complete some of the academics they still need to do. Here are a few of the things they did:
Math- skip counting by twos! We worked on skip counting to 20. This is an easy thing to do at home as well. We reviewed writing the numbers 13-20 and taking out the tens and ones that are in the number (we used playdough to represent the numbers today, which was fun for the students.)
Reading- The students retold the story of Little Quack. They had to use picture cards and place them in the right sequence. The students also wrote something about their favorite part of the Holiday season. They did very well at trying to write out sentences to describe what they liked.
Music- The students got to watch part of the Nutcracker.
We also had time today to complete show and tell, centers and a read aloud. The day went by pretty quick! Please remember that there are only 3 days left of school in 2010! Have a great weekend!
