We had a wonderful week! Holiday Hope shopping was a great success. We were able to provide our family of 5 with so much for Christmas! One of my favorite things about being a teacher is being able to see my students use their hearts. One student decided to ask her Elf on the Shelf for some money so that she could donate more to Holiday Hope. She was so proud and excited to turn that money in and it was so exciting to see her heart shine! I cannot wait to see all of their hearts in action on Friday as they wrap these gifts up for the family. Thank you so much for your donations of time, money, materials, and helping hands. This Christmas magic wouldn't be possible without your help! This week we worked on telling time. Students learned about the language involved in time as well as elapsed time. Next week we will practice elapsed time word problems. These can be very tricky! Below are some pictures of students practicing with their clocks. Genius Hour was also in full force this week! Students rocked it this week. We had many projects going on and many new ideas developing. I have loved watching their management of this time grow. Students are becoming more and more confident and comfortable with the freedom to explore. Students also spent some time reviewing our multiplication concepts by playing the Unlock the North pole game! It was so much fun to see their excitement and motivation to move from task to task! I wanted to take a moment to give a big THANK YOU for the book donations that came in this week. You should have seen their eyes as I revealed this giant stack of books! We took some time to browse and write down titles that interest us. They can't wait for these books to hit the shelves! If you ever have books that you are looking to get rid of, Park is a great place to donate. We are always looking for new books for our classrooms! Upcoming:
