Looking back on December
Written by Isabelle and Katelyn
Holiday Props Writing Project
In December before our break we were asked to do a writing project on Holiday Props. The kids were split up into groups of 3, 4, and 5 to write a five paragraph essay. The groups kids split into were reindeer, dreidel, mistletoe, candy cane, gingerbread house, and pickle ornament.
Gingerbread Houses
December sixteenth was a day of complete fun in room 09. We made Gingerbread Houses! It was so exciting eating little bits of CANDY. Some of us were even on a sugar high (Katelyn.) It was a great day to sit back and relax and eat some candy.
Holiday Plays
We were given parts in plays where they got to act and express their expression. I think these plays were a wake up call for the Greek play. Mrs. Wilson was trying to get us to get the volume up and she was making sure we were always facing the audience.
On the eighteenth of December we did the four plays. Our friends and fellow classmates not in the play were the audience. Boy! Some of us can act and sing.
This picture is of how much people actually got into character. This is Ben as Scrooge, the meanest during Christmas of all, performing in the play A Christmas Carol.
Latitude and Longitude
This month we have been working on Latitude and Longitude. We have been working on finding the exact coordinates of places around the world.
Hot Cocoa + Cookies!
During the Holiday Plays we drank hot chocolate and munched on cookies. Evan and his mom brought in the hot chocolate mugs. Evan and his mom were then so nice to let us keep our mugs. Honestly the Cocoa and Cookies couldn't be better. It was a great day.
Multiple Towers
In the middle of December we did a math project with multiples. It was called Multiple Towers. Partners were assigned a certain number. The number for the Multiple tower to your right was number 19. We had to go all the way up to the twenty first multiple of the number. It was a lot of fun and gave us a little bit of struggle.
The Science Test
In the beginning of December we did a Science test on the parts of a flower. It also had some review about the parts of a seed. It was hard but not too hard. Hope we all got 4's and 3's on the test.
