The tree branches with the children's picture cubes looks great. We have gotten a lot of compliments on it. It is also a fun way for students to see each other's families and pictures of a family's holiday traditions. Thanks for your part in creating the cube and adding to our classroom decor!
We also have been working on goals for the new year. Children made a list of their goals, printed a few of them on different sized colored circles and I've hung them on our board in the shape of the numbers 2012. It's a nice reminder of the coming year and the things we would like to accomplish after January 1.
In writing, we have been working on adding details using our five senses. Students partnered with each other on a story about Sam, a dog who follows your child to school and ends up in art class. Could you imagine the chaos? Students did a great job using their senses to extend the moment and add detail to their writing. We will be using the same premise with Ansel Adams photographs and creating a display for the school's showcase in the foyer. Make sure to check it out!
Enjoy your weekend!
