News from Team Imagination
The 2nd graders on Team Imagination took part in a book auction called “Retell It to Sell It”!!! Each student created a written retell of their favorite book from the classroom. They also included the components of a story and then illustrated their favorite scene. After presenting their book to the class, the students were then allowed to bid on the books. Mrs. Konrad brought math to the event by having the bidders keep track of their money and make change. The books went to the highest bidders and will remain in their independent reading boxes until the next auction. It was a fun, creative way for the students to put their money skills to practice and use their retelling strategies to hook other readers in the class!
News from Dynamic Design
For the Holiday Season, the neighboring Dynamic Design and Investigators Learning Communities continued their tradition of building "Big & Little Buddy" relationships and celebrating the season! The Dynamic Design "Big Buddies" (7th-8th graders) led their Investigator "Little Buddies" (1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders) through six activities in all the classrooms. The activities included making coffee-filter-snowflakes, Reindeer goodie bags, a telling of "'Twas the Night Before Christmas'" with their own story books to color, games and puzzles, ornament making, and cookie making. In the afternoon, every student was able to frost, decorate, and most importantly eat their own cookie. Everyone had lots of fun - our buddies truly enjoy their time together and build lasting relationships!
Kindergarten Holiday Program
The Kindergarten Holiday Program was a huge success! They played to a packed house, singing six songs and ending with a dance to Shake Up The Happiness by Train. If you know the song, ask your child to teach you the steps.
