What a crazy week! We were very busy preparing for the upcoming holiday. The students created special gifts for their families. They also made special cards with some help with some "elves."
Mrs. Miller came in this week and set up a store for the students to shop. The students had been earning money over the past several weeks for good behavior. With the money they earned, they were able to purchase gifts for family members. They had to count out their money and several students got to be practice being cashiers. Thank you, Mrs. Miller!!
We read the book, The Polar Express, this week and were rewarded for our compliments (and a little help from our classroom elf) with a Polar Express party. We watched the movie and had chocolate milk.
Our elf left us a special note today to say goodbye. He had fun in our classroom but must go back to the North Pole.
Speaking of goodbye, today we said goodbye to our leader, Mr. D. We had a special assembly to say goodbye. It was pretty emotional for many of us as he has made a great impact on our school. When we return from break we will welcome with open arms our new leader, Mrs. Gansert.
I would like to take this time to wish all of you a very special holiday. I hope you all enjoy some fun, family time during our break. I am looking forward to continued success from the second graders.
