Ms. Kaley's Classroom Room 24

Past Week:

We had a great week.  Everyone is excited for December and came back from break ready for more.  I have all students filling out there own work chart, even first graders.  Start checking in with your child on what they are accomplishing on their own.  Some students are working on many works per day and some are working on more intense choices.

This past week we had a net safety assembly on how to be safe on the internet.  Each class will be “certified” by doing some activities in our classroom.

In cultural: Zoology/Physiology:

Level 1s: Amphibians and Life cycle of a frog

Level 2s: The eye and the ear

Level 3s: Annelids: Earthworms and leeches

Friday: STEM Christmas tree challenge

Upcoming Week:

The Nutcracker on Monday the 7th: Monday we have the ballet field trip!  Please pack a lunch for your child.  We will go over the history of the Nutcracker in the morning, have an early recess/lunch, and then get ready to go at 11am.  If your child chooses to dress up nice for the ballet, the dress code can be skewed some.  Nice dresses do not have to have a collar.  If your child is not going to dress up, then dress code applies.

Tuesday the 8th: 3rd grade practice SAGE Writing test!  I will be with 3rd graders in the Library on Tuesday morning.  Please pack them a snack and their water bottle.

Looking to Next Week:

The week of Dec. 14th is busy!

Monday the 14th: is Holiday Store Day!  Store will be right away in the morning.  Levels can begin baking  towards the end of the morning and into the afternoon.  Our upper elementary class partners this year, Ms. Stef’s class, have their feast on Monday at lunch.  I did tell Ms. Stef that we might in and out to use the oven.  Here is the sign up for helping bring supplies for baking and wrapping paper!

Holiday Store and Baking Supplies!

Tuesday Dec. 15th:  Our classroom feast will begin at lunch time (12:00pm).  If you are needing to come in to drop off food or want to help, please come at 11:15am.  Ms. Stef’s class is going to leave out the tables and chairs, so we’ll have just our food to set up.  The tables are round and are pretty large, for anyone who has round table cloths.  Here is the sign up:

Thursday Dec. 17th: is Lower Elementary’s International Festival from 12:30-2:30.  Anyone is welcome to come!  I will post the list of what student’s chose this coming week.  Naomi and Kylie were the only ones who didn’t know what they wanted to choose and need to choose a Europe related topic by next week.  Practically the whole class each chose a country to do.

Have a great upcoming week!
