ANNOUNCEMENTS AND REMINDERS:
Team Howard is bringing home the gifts they made for their family members today! They have already been wrapped with love. Please be sure to help your child check their backpack and make sure all of the gifts get to where they need to be.
Please remember to send your child to school with their coat, snow pants, boots, hats, and mittens. Without these items, they are not able to play at recess.
Tomorrow is our reader's theater performance. Students are encouraged to wear something like their character would wear, but it is not necessary.
THIS WEEK IN…
Reader's Theater Preparations: Today, we worked together to create the backgrounds for our plays. We really had to think of the story and the setting to portray a true background to the play. We also worked hard to create props that we might need to help our plays come alive!
Festive Fun: Today, we wrapped all of the gifts we made during our elf workshop. We did this completely independently! It was a great experience learning how to cut the wrapping paper, how much tape to use, how to fold the paper, etc.
We were also visited by the high school choir group. They sang some lovely carols and even some songs from their concert. They sounded amazing! We had fun singing along too.
Tomorrow, we will join Mrs. Sylvester's class in the morning to watch Frozen! Then, Mrs. Sylvester's class will perform the Nutcracker for us.
Later in the day, we will perform our own reader's theater plays to Team Howard. We have been working really hard on using our movie star voices and making the play come alive. It will be a great experience to see each play put their own spin on the stories.
Even with just a two day week, we are busy, busy, busy! I hope everyone has a lovely holiday season and enjoys some quality time with their family over winter break.
