Weekly Update - December 2

Kindergarten: Read Aloud: Twas The Night Before Thanksgiving by Dav Pilkey and What is Thanksgiving by Elaine Landau.  As a reading response to Pilkey we wrote about what we would eat instead of turkey at Thanksgiving.

First Grade: Read Aloud: Thanksgiving is Here by Diane Goode.  We wrote about what we do on Thanksgiving and compared it to the book.

Second Grade: Read Aloud: Balloons Over Broadway: the true story of the puppeteer of Macy's Parade by Melissa Sweet.  We created our own balloons and watched a video of how the balloons are made for the parade.

Third Grade: Read Aloud: Sarah Gives Thanks by Mike Allegra.  We compared this to the video of Thank You, Sarah by Laurie Halse Anderson.

Fourth Grade: We started a unit called Locked in the Library to discover parts of the nonfiction.

Fifth Grade: We are almost done with Digital Passport.  This week we looked at copyright and created mashups.

Sixth Grade: We're continuing our work on the Dewey Decimal commercials!
