Room 8 actors and actresses

We've been having so much fun with our Mo Willems stories. To culminate our unit, students were put into groups to act out stories. Each group chose roles, rehearsed, and presented to the rest of our class as well as some other classes. Everyone put in great effort and had fun.

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful and delicious Thanksgiving Feast today.  Thank you to all those who contributed. We spent a great deal of time learning about the Pilgrims voyage to America and how difficult  life was for them.   I think the children got a good understanding about what it means to be grateful for everything they have.  Wishing you and your families a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Feast

We will be having our Thanksgiving Feast next Tuesday.  Don't forget to email Cindy Newman at cnew02@optonline.net ASAP if you are not already on her email list and you would like to help.  Thanks!

Bookmarks

Check out these adorable and creative bookmarks that we made last week. The students earned a special art activity by getting many "happy faces" on our chart by following our school rules. Let's keep it up 😊
