This morning, the students completed their Math Measurement tests. They worked very hard on this task (12 multiple choice questions and 2 short answer questions). I will return their work within the next few days, for review.
In Language, we worked on our
We also listed 10 Christmas-themed words that we find difficult to spell for this week's spelling sentences. This week's words are: Christmas, stockings, presents, reindeer, hot chocolate, calendar, Santa Claus, Advent Candle, ornament and lights, with a bonus word of Hanukkah. The students should also continue their daily reading, for 15-20 minutes each day.
This afternoon we completed our work with the hoppers in Science and continued to discuss our use of forces in the school.
Finally, I had an idea for something I would like to do for the kids, as an early Christmas present, if there is enough interest.
I would like to go to Landmark Theatres for the 11:00 am movie on Wednesday, December 23, 2015, and I would like you to join me!
I will pay for one ticket for each of my students. For supervision purposes, I would ask that each child has an adult with them at the show, either with each child coming with a parent, who will purchase their own ticket; or if you choose to organize a group of kids, one adult supervising the group of students they bring to the theatre.
I am planning on attending "The Force Awakens" but I see that the rating is not yet listed, and not all students will want to see this movie, so I would be happy to purchase tickets for students to watch "The Good Dinosaur", "The Peanuts Movie" or the "Alvin and the Chipmunks" movie.
I understand that it is the holiday season and not everyone will be available to attend. Please let me know, in your child's agenda, if you would be interested in attending.
I will need to know which movie you would like to attend and how many tickets you will need. Then I will go to Landmark after school on Tuesday and ask about the process of buying tickets for a large group in advance.
I will purchase the tickets in advance, then ask you to reimburse me for any adult tickets (or for other children you want to bring as well). I will be buying tickets for morning shows on standard screens, so all tickets will cost $7.00 each.
Again, if it doesn't work out, it's not a problem. I just thought this would be a fun way to get our wonderful group together for a fun event during the holidays.
Have a great evening!
Mr. Skinner
