We have Decked the Halls Of WHES!!

We have been busy little elves this week!! Enjoy the photos of some of our work!  The following is a little bit about our week:
  • We have done a lot of writing this. We wrote about what we would do is Santa was stuck in the chimney.  We also learned about writing a friendly letter.  We used a fun power point to learn the different parts of a letter then traced our hands and wrote the five parts on our hand prints to keep in our writing folders as a reminder.  As a follow up read How the Grinch Stole Christmas and then wrote letters to the Grinch explaining to him why he should like Christmas.
  • During Literacy we have worked on determining importance.  We read a big book which is written by a child and is an essay about the sun.  We are using this book to determine the important facts and what the big idea is.
  • Look for a note coming home about a Community Project that we will need your help with.
Have a wonderful weekend!
