December Reading Chain

For December we decided to see how many books we could we read. We decided to make a link on a Christmas chain for each book we finished. We predicted that we would reach 54 books read before our last day of school for Christmas break. We were very excited to discover that we read 80 books in December!!

This is a close up of our chain so you can try to see some of the book titles. We wrapped up one of the students with it. 

A Great Day!

We had our book party today. We enjoyed some good books by the fire with some hot chocolate. It was a great morning!

Cozy Up With a Good Book!

Tomorrow morning we are going to "Cozy Up With a Good Book"! You can wear pajamas, slippers or other comfy clothes and bring a pillow or blanket. We are going to have hot chocolate and read books by our "fire". We will be having book talks, recommending books, watching book trailers and reading, of course!!!

Our Christmas Story

We adapted "The Night Before Christmas" for Mrs. Blankvoort at the uptown library. We rewrote our own version of it where everything took place in the library. Yesterday we walked uptown and gave it to her. She was very excited about it.

Gift exchange

Students can start bringing in their gifts (books) for the gift exchange anytime now. If you need help finding a book, please let me know and I will arrange one for you. We just want to make sure everyone has something to trade!

Tuesday we are walking to the uptown library to check out some books to read over the Christmas holidays. 

Our Christmas book tree

The skeletal system

We are studying the body systems in science right now. Today we started learning about the skeletal system. 

We are building our own people. 

Christmas Book Exchange

For the Christmas book exchange, we will ask you to buy one book whether it is from home, the MCC store, or from a book store, just don't go over $15. We will be picking numbers and the first number will go up and pick a book. The second number can choose to take the book that the first person has. Afterwards, we can trade with people if we want to.
