Christmas Excitement

Our Class is excited about our Christmas Party and the Christmas Break. We know there will be a lot of activities next week and we can't wait to see them. We have spent time writing a persuasive letter to Santa for the gift we most want this year. We also have written riddles utilizing inferencing to describe what is "deer" to us. These are decorated with cute reindeer that are made from our hands and feet. Here are a few riddles from our students:

Dear to Manuel:

I have a valuable thing that you'll never guess. It jingles when I shake it. It has a lot of stuff on it to hold. It gets you in when the door is locked. It is important to me because it helps me get in the house. Can you guess what is dear to me?

Dear to Maribel:

I have something that is dear to me. They help me. I do not want them to go away when I go to college. I love them so much but they went their separate ways. Can you guess what is dear to me?

Additional Photos from The Relatives Came

Parents brought snacks, books, and blankets. We curled up with a good book and read together. Keep up the great work.

THE RELATIVES CAME

Last week we worked on reading and using our visualization skills to help connect with our stories. We Read The Relatives came by Cynthia Rylant. On Friday, we had relatives come to our class to read with us. We got to spend time practicing our reading skills and just enjoy reading. We learned reading is thinking but also reading is fun. We want to thank all those that helped to participate in this event! Keep reading at home. The benefits to you and your student are invaluable.

How to Make Homemade Nachos by Johnathan

I am going to make homemade nachos because I am hungry. First, you will need some pepper and salt, some cheese, and some ground meat. Second, you put a big pot on the stove. You put some meat in the hot water to defrost it. Then you take the meat out of the water and put it in the pot. Now, you stir the meat and let it cook awhile. When the you are done stir in the cheese. Finally, you can eat it up and save the rest.

Welcome Families!!!!

This year we will be spending a lot of time learning different types of writing. We will utilize technology to help us with this task. Blogging is a great way to encourage students to love writing. Our class will be sharing in the responsibility of maintaining a blog. Please check back to see the exciting things we are doing in our class. This week we learned procedural writing. We have been writing some exciting paragraphs involving recipes. Check back for some student writing and some great recipes!

Gabby's Preposition Poem

A Cat

Above my head meowing loudly
In a tree scared and alone
About to fall down
Out of the tree
Up the tree
To save the cat
Down with the cat purring happily
Beside me the rest of the day

Joker

Beside Batman

Through the cave

Above the building

Among the city

Made a big big mistake

He was never defeated.

With a hot metal stick

To protect him. Strong

Down the mountain

Up to the clouds

Through the trees

Under the clouds

Above the sky

Flying though the earth

Creature Alliteration Poem by Carlos

This is a Larian

A Larian lives lazely lumbering under loud lions in Louisana

A Larian likes eating lima beans, leachy leaches, lemony larvas, and littering llamas

A larian likes putting on lotion, leaning on lightening, licking its layers of fur, and leaping from       towers.

A Larian lurks under lava and laughs like a lucky lizard.

My Larian was bad to my leopard and lunged from a load of dirty laundry.
