The new year came in on cold, snowy feet! I hope have a cup of hot chocolate to warm you up! I also hope your holiday season was special for you.
Please don't throw away your used greeting cards yet! I could use them [front covers only] for a project I am doing with an Eric Carle book. If you have any, please send them to school with your child and I will get them. THANKS!
This week I am in the WH district on Monday & Wednesday and will visit with 3B, KJ, & 2G. Next week I will be here on Tuesday & Thursday.
Monday, 4-JAN, 2010:
3Bruns - We will review the 3 types of biographies and compile a 3rd Grade Autobiography book.
Wednesday. 6-JAN, 2010:
K-Geelan - Watch the VCR Why the Rabbit Turns White, a Native American legend handed down through the oral tradition of storytelling.
2-Glawe - We will listen to the Caldecott Medal Honor book, Coming on Home Soon by Jacqueline Woodson and illustrated by E.B. Lewis.
There are 3 types of biographies: an autobiography is a true story a person writes about his/her own life; a biography is a true story of a person's life written by another person; and a collective biography is a collection of more than one biography.
THOUGHT FOR THE NEW YEAR
Give us the kindness to hear with compassion, to offer support, loving comfort and care.
Give us courage to do what is needed, the wisdom to choose what is right and most fair.
Give us the vision to see what is possible.
Give us the faith that will help pave the way for a present that's hopeful, a future that's peaceful --
Give us the heart to bring joy to each day.
