Reading
What a busy, fun day. During reading we are practicing our holiday reader's theater. Some of the stories are "Goldilocks and the Elves," "Polar Express," and "Arthur's Christmas." On Monday we worked on reading with feeling when we performed "The Grinch". Kids that need to catch up with RC quizzes are still doing reading logs. The next quiz is due Thursday. #7

Language arts
We are writing a book this week as well. The kids are writing and illustrating a book entitled.."Diary of a Wimpy Reindeer." These are so much fun! They are turning out so neat.

No spelling and vocabulary words this week.

We began our unit on the body systems yesterday. We will be spending 2 days on each of the 10 systems. Today we compared ourselves to an orange. We talked about the protective outer coating and how it was like our integumentary system.
