Week 15 (December 1 - 5)

Week 15 (December 1 – 5)

It’s been another great week in room 604! It’s amazing how fast the time goes when you’re having fun!! We’ve been working so hard on so many different projects. We’re still working on our matter writing, our helping the homeless project, and we are also in the process of creating our own books.

Matter Writing

Each of the kids brought in a state of matter that they really liked. There was matter ranging from pencils to a nutcracker to a balloon. The kids were so excited and proud of the matter that they brought in. They then used their matter and their 5 senses to write about it. We are still working on our published pieces, so stay tuned!

Helping the Homeless

As you all know, we have begun our service-learning project to help the homeless. We’ve hung posters around the school to solicit support from our fellow Wildcats. So far we’ve collected a few jackets and some activity books. We will be collecting items until the last week of school. If you’re family has any items to donate please feel free to send them into the classroom. We are collecting socks, hand sanitizer, Kleenexes (individual packs), chapstick, scarves, gloves, mittens, packages of crackers, small candies, activity books, pens, and crayons. We are looking forward to presenting our project to the school in hopes of encouraging others to also help the less fortunate.

Our First Book Publication

Our kids have so much talent when it comes to writing and illustrating. I’ve bragged on them so much and I am so excited that we finally have the opportunity to work on publishing our first books. The writing process is a long and tedious one but the students have been enjoying learning “what writers do”! I am looking forward to seeing their finished product.

I’m looking forward to another great week with my 20 amazing kidos! =)
