Old McDonald Had a Cold

This week has been filled with moos, oinks, clucks, and sneezes! Even with all the colds going around, it's still been fun to learn about different farm animals this week. We talked about cows and all the dairy food that they give us. In the afternoon we had a visitor who works on a farm come in and show different parts of a cow farm. On Tuesday we felt some mud and wrote sentences about why pigs love mud! The students are enjoying sounding out and writing their own words! This week we also talked about chickens and made some cute little origami chicks.

We hit a monumental point in reading this week! We have learned about every letter and the sound they make! We will now start focusing on letter combinations and decoding even more words. It's very neat to see how all the students are growing in their reading.

Of course this week we have also started decorating for Christmas! On Monday they decorated their very own Christmas tree! These kids were beaming at their finished tree. They also made their very own Christmas star out of their hand prints.

Coming up...

Next week is going to be filled with Christmas! On Thursday we are having a Christmas party. Don't forget about the three dollar gift exchange also! It should be a very exciting week!
