Chopsticks

After reading a story about Chinese heritage, the students learned how to use chopsticks.  Today, they used them at lunch!  They had a great time, even though it was a little frustrating at first.  I was amazed at how fast they caught on.

We were able to go  to the high school today to watch the wrestling assembly.  For those of you who don't know, we are proud to have 5 of our Broncos headed to state on Thursday.  If you are planning on taking your child, please let us know, so we can get homework ready!

 Study for tomorrow's spelling test
 Study for Wednesdays vocabulary test

 We will be doing a different type of reading for the next 2 to 3 weeks. Instead of reading from our basal reader, we will be doing a literature unit. We will be reading Bridge to Terabithia. All of our spelling and vocabulary activities will be coming from the story. We will not have separate spelling and vocabulary lists and activities. They will all be tied to Bridge to Terabithia.

Winter Concert

Thank you all for attending the 5th/6th grade Winter Concert. I'm excited to say we had 90% of our kids come back to school for the concert.  I know it is hard to get everyone ready, and come back for an evening event, but the kids have been working so hard to prepare for this event. I posted a link  to some great pictures, taken by TJ Turner.  Check them out!

Great photos

Cross Country Skiing

As most of you know, Cross Country Skiing starts next week.  Please come prepared for a better experience.  This means the following

1.       Winter Coat

2.       Snow boots

3.       Mittens or gloves

4.       Hat or Hood

5.       Socks

6.       Snow pants. Or water repellant sweat pants work very well for skiing.

If you have neither of those bring an extra pair of pants to put on AFTER you get done.  It’s not fun sitting in wet pants all day.
