An impromptu reading group!

George Washington and Our Class

Rachel's comments on George Washington:

I know that George Washington was the first president and he had false teeth. He already died. He was very important to us.

Anna Claire's comments on George Washington:

I know that George Washington had false teeth. They were very, very disgusting. I also know that George Washington already died. And he was president. I think he was very cool.

Then, we visited the George Washington exhibit at the North Carolina Museum of History. We learned a lot of great information about our country's past and brave leaders.


Look at what Rachel and Anna Claire discovered about George:

Rachel: I learned that George Washington was one of six siblings. He had a beautiful white house. I know that he always had his journal with him so he could write down facts about the war.

Anna Claire: I learned that George Washington was six feet tall. And he had false teeth! And he had a beautiful wife.

Pipe Cleaners and Poems

Campbell's winter poem:

Frost
Running waters freeze
Everything is ice
Everybody says it's cold outside
Zoos are closed
Early dismissal

The Big Freeze

Wade: I think The Big Freeze movie will be awesome! I think the dinosaur will get frozen. Maybe the dinosaurs will be dangerous!

We earned our reward -- we are celebrating with a movie that relates to our science unit. The Big Freeze and popcorn!

Anna's New Year Resolution

I did do a resolution! It was to not eat too much candy. I picked that resolution because Santa gave me so much candy! And so far, I am doing good because my mom has been eating my candy out of my stocking!

Winter Is...

We decorated hot cocoa mugs and wrote poems about what winter means to us. Take a look at how creative we are!







Wondering if we will experience a wintry mix tonight...!?

Merry Christmas!
