Gingerbread Theme/Gingerbread Fred
We will be beginning to do many literacy, math, writing, and art projects around Gingerbread. For one of the art projects we are looking for ribbon, buttons, pom-poms, yarn, fabric scraps, scrap booking paper, beads, or any other "crafty" items. If you have any crafty type supplies and are willing to donate them to our class please send them in with your child. Thank you~
Today I read Gingerbread Fred to the class and introduced "Fred" and the writing journal. Gingerbread Fred spent the past weekend with me. I then wrote in the journal about all the adventures we did together. Each child will have an opportunity to have Gingerbread Fred for an evening. Please help your child make a journal entry and draw or include a picture. They have been reading journal entries from previous years and are SUPER excited!

Thanksgiving Bracelet
On Tuesday, Mrs. Lucier led the class with a great Thanksgiving poem that captures our learning around Thanksgiving. While reading the poem students created a bracelet. Each colored bead represents something specific for the Thanksgiving Tradition. Please have your child explain his/her bracelet for you!
Burnham Memorial Library
Last Friday our class held reading workshop at our local library. We walked to Burnham Memorial Library where we were greeted at the door by Hannah and Pam. We just love these ladies! Many friends got blue library cards, we learned about how to use the computer to look up specific books, listened to a story, and of course we read! WE ARE READERS!

Red Word Practice and IPads

Lake Champlain
We have enjoyed our study on Lake Champlain. We had Colleen Hickey from The Lake Champlain Basin Science Center come to our classroom a few weeks ago. She taught us all about pollution and run off from the land that can pollute Lake Champlain. Some of the major lake pollutants are: dirt, animal waste, oil, gas, grass and pesticides.
She used an amazing model of the Lake Champlain Watershed and each student had a turn to "pollute" different areas of the map. Then we had an amazing rain storm that showed how pollutants are washed into the Lake.
Lastly, we talked about all of the animals that rely on the lake just like we do! This was a great presentation that really helped us understand how our actions can effect the lake!
