In math we will be continuing to work on 2 dimensional shapes and will be making some snowman name art that we can discuss with math terms. In reading we are investigating a variety of gingerbread stories and how they are the same but different. The students love to create gingerbread cookies with our gingerbread Playdoh. Our development center was changed to a vet center when it was noticed that the students were interested in the play medical equipment and were using it on the stuffy animals in the classroom. In writing the students are just finishing up their New Year's resolutions and will be working on what their favourite gingerbread story is and why. In science this week we started discussing and drawing our observations of an amaryllis bulb and the students were fascinated with how they created the soil we planted the bulb in. The students will be making observations and using measurement to keep track of the growth during the coming weeks.
We were sorry that two students in our class moved during the holidays, Lucian and Gaddi. Congratulations to Damien who was chosen to receive the Journey to Holiness certificate for the month of December.
