This week we are learning about Christmas traditions from around the world. Our classroom is Sweden and the students had fun making Lucia crowns and Star boy hats. Here are our silly and sweet shots with our hats. We will spend the week traveling to different countries(teacher's classrooms) to learn about the traditions there. Hope the children aren't a bit jet-lagged when they get home each day!

Gingerbread Houses were a BLAST! Thank you to all the parents who sent in items for us to use for letting our creativity flow! Thank you also to all the parents who volunteered their hands to hold up roofs and apply sprinkles...the kids had a marvelous time. Hope you enjoy the photos.
Thank you!!!!

Our Thanksgiving feast today went really well. The kids seem to really enjoy the food and we had a lot of parents stop by to visit. Hope everyone enjoys time at home with their families. See you Monday!

We had some awesome looking scarecrows ready to "scare away drugs" for our red ribbon week. The kids had fun walking in a parade through the school. Then we had a terrific time rotating through our Fall Fun Day stations.

We are having scarecrow day on Friday. Here is a picture of some of the second grade teachers in their scarecrow outfits to give you an idea on how to dress your child.

Today we had an author come to visit! His name is Jeff Cook. He is a firefighter that wrote a story
called Tails from the Firehouse. It is about a firehouse dog. He also reviewed fire safety with the children. They had fun listening to him and I know they learned lots of good tips. You may want to ask them about throwing toys at the firemen!!

Our class had a lot of fun performing
our reader's theater Johnny Appleseed to Mrs. Sealy's first grade class. All of our characters did a wonderful job and the backdrop was AWESOME! Great work boys and girls. I made a video of the play and will upload it to the site soon if I can.

I am glad to see that you all made it back! Hopefully everyone will have power soon and things can get back to normal.

Thank you parents for coming to Parent Information Night! Please let me know if you have questions about anything that was presented.

We had so much fun Friday meeting all the grandparents and special friends. It was nice to see the things they brought to share with each of us from their childhood. Thank you to all the grandparents for sharing time with our class.

We had an awesome first day today! Everyone did a wonderful job learning our routines and procedures. Tomorrow we will start doing more of our curriculum work. Thanks for such a GREAT day!
Love,
Mrs. Adams
