We have been writing summaries about Patriica Polacco. We colored a treasure chest so we can put our stories in it. We also made a toy about Babushka’s doll and we hung them outside . Also we are learning a about the weather cycle. We put water in a cup and measured how much it evaporated and today we are putting ice in a glass and watching condensation form on the outside of the glass. We did a coloring contest and it was Mrs. Koonce birthday yesterday. We wrote her birthday cards.

Today we read, The Jolly Postman or Other People’s Letters.
It is very funny! There is Goldilocks and the Three Bears
and Humpty Dumpty. We are also working on how to write letters.
You make beginnings, middles and ends. I hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Yesterday we went around the world. We went to Australia and we ate chocolate. It was yummy! Then Mrs. Corbell did Kenya and we learned that some kids don’t have toys so they make them out of wire or whatever they can find. Next we went to Germany. We learned that they put pickles on their tree and they hide them and when they wake up, they find them. Who ever finds the first pickle opens their present first. In Mexico, we colored a poinsettia. In Brazil, Mrs. Stagner put candy in our shoes and we drew names for secret pals to give an ornament to.

Today is pajama day. We are watching the Polar Express in our pajamas and then do a word search with words from the movie. On Friday is our Christmas party and we get out early.

At school we have been reading Jan Brett books but we have only read two. They are The Mitten and The Hat. The mitten and the hat were very, very good books. We have been doing graphing and questions about our graphing.

We did matter centers today. There is the blue goo, the legos and there is the play dough. You weigh play dough in a center and measure rice. I love going to White Oak. I had fun today in matter centers and I cannot wait till next week. We will probably be doing more centers. I love being in Mrs. Corbell’s class. We have lots of fun in Mrs. Corbell’s class room and there are 3 states of matter: solid,liquid and gas. There are 19 kids in Mrs. Corbell’s room but we still have fun. We have done lots of things in the room. I love having Mrs. Corbell as a teacher. White Oak is the best school ever!!!! Mrs. Corbell is the best teacher ever!!!! We all love Mrs. Corbell

We had a wonderful six weeks. We love our teacher. Mrs. Corbell’s class loves her like a mother. We did our bat reports today. It was fun!
