What a terrific day. The kids had such a good time today, and were so well behaved. I hope you all have a very happy, healthy, and fun break! Teachers have training today, tomorrow, and Friday. I'll be learning lots of terrific things to start out the new year with the kids.
No homework for the break, BUT they do need to be reading! Next RC quiz is due January 15.

Vocabulary test tomorrow!
Persuasive paragraph part 2
Science notes due tomorrow
We will be reading for 20 minutes tomorrow to end our stamina in reading practice. The kids asked if they could bring pillows for that. That would be fine. They will need to bring snacks/drink for our movie party on Wednesday as well.

AWESOME cells
We began our unit on the body systems on Thursday. The kids had a lot of fun learning about cells on Friday. We made cells using baggies. We put various items inside the cells and then took notes on what each item stood for. So, if a gooey cell made its way home this weekend, you now know what it is!
Baggy: cell membrane
Mint: nucleus, the white inside was the nucleous
Mike and Ike: mitochondria
Yarn: chromosomes
Red hot: lysosomes
Gushers: golgi bodies
Noodles: vacuoles
Hair gel: cytoplasm
They really enjoyed this project!

We put on our second planet play today. The kids did a terrific job both days. They used the information they gathered in our planet unit to write the play themselves. The kindergarteners really enjoyed it. We have one more group to perform in front of on Friday.
The next RC quiz is due on Monday. There will not be one due at the end of December. After Monday, our next quiz will be due January 15. This should give some kids, who have fallen behind, a chance to catch up.
No homework tonight!
Vocabulary words on the wiki are the new ones. We are testing over these on Tuesday.
