Before
Remember what this tree looks like because it will not look like this for long. We are already working on decorations to adorn it.

We missed two weeks of Star Student awards because of Thanksgiving but we have a new one to celebrate this week.
Weekly Poem
Three Little Penguins
Three little penguins, dressed in white
and black.
Waddle, waddle forward and waddle right back!
Three little penguins, in a funny pose,
They are wearing their evening clothes.
Their suits are black and their vests are white.
They waddle to the left and they waddle to the right.
They stand on the ice and they look very neat,
As they waddle along on their little flat feet.
Waddle, waddle forward and waddle right back!

Coming Soon!
It's almost Winter and we are currently reading about penguins. So, it's time to change some seats, fix some messy name plates, and celebrate this adorable flightless bird.
In the next few days I will be making some changes with these new name plates.

Weekly Poem
Miss Osberg and I were discussing this poem and how we have fond childhood memories of the words and the tune. I went searching for the original lyrics and the music.
I have been playing this song for the students for the last few days and even though it is far from Justin Bieber, they like it and have asked me to play it more than once.

Over the River (A Boy's Christmas)
Over the river, and through the wood,
to Grandfather's house we go;
the horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
through the white and drifted snow.

to Grandfather's house we go;

Over the river, and through the wood,
to Grandfather's house away!
We would not stop for doll or top,
for 'tis Thanksgiving Day.

We would not stop for doll or top,

Over the river, and through the wood-
oh, how the wind does blow!
It stings the toes and bites the nose,
as over the ground we go.

Over the river, and through the wood
and straight through the barnyard gate.
We seem to go extremely slow-
it is so hard to wait!

Over the river, and through the wood-
when Grandmother sees us come,
She will say, "o, dear, the children are here,
bring a pie for every one."

now Grandmothers cap I spy!
Hurrah for the fun! Is the pudding done?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!

Weekly Poem
Pilgrims
The Pilgrims came
across the sea,
And never thought of you and me;
And yet it's very strange the way
We think of them Thanksgiving day.
And never thought of you and me;
And yet it's very strange the way
We think of them Thanksgiving day.
We tell their
story, old and true
Of how they sailed across the blue,
And found a new land to be free
And built their homes quite near the sea.
Of how they sailed across the blue,
And found a new land to be free
And built their homes quite near the sea.
Every child knows
well the tale
Of how they bravely turned the sail
And journeyed many a day and night,
To worship God as they thought right.

Proofing Word Wall Sentences
For the last 2 days, as a class, students have been creating sentences using word wall words. I then write them on the white board with mistakes. The students then find the errors.
