Apple Cup 2013

We were celebrating the Huskies in Room 206 on Wednesday before Thanksgiving Break! The game was on Friday. The first half was very close and sort of a snooze feast.

My Huskies came through in the end, in their new stadium. And now Coach Sark is heading to UCLA. Bummer!

Here I am with Mr. Pritchard. We had a friendly exchange before the BIG GAME!

Election Results

Our two Student Council Representatives are sworn into office. Their job is to show up for 8:20 meetings on Wednesday mornings twice a month. Then, they report back to the class what they learned. They also are responsible for listening to their classmates and reporting the student council members what they have heard from our classmates. They will also take care of organizing Spirit Days. Yay!

These two girls will do a fabulous job for us! Congratulations!

Fall Reflection Art

Here are our representations of what we see in the fall colors.

We created fall trees reflecting in a lake.

The medium we used was oil pastels and tempera paints.

Our Own Veteran - Mr. Domingo

Mr. Domingo

We asked Mr. Domingo to bring in his Marines memorabilia to share with us. We all got to look at his pieces and pictures and ask him questions.

He served in Vietnam and was stationed in Hawaii prior to this tour of duty.

Mr. Domingo printed off a picture of a Marine Uniform. He also showed us his belt buckle.

Mr. Domingo's younger self is right in the center of this picture - look for the faint circle.

His batallion was the first to arrive in Vietnam, so President Johnson gave the troops a ribbon/medal to decorate their uniform for their bravery.

Mr. Domingo showed us his dog tags, ribbons and awards.

Theme Unit

We have been working on the concept of theme in books. Here is the anchor chart we constructed together to learn about these concepts. Ask your child what these themes mean.

 

We used these picture books to examine the themes: acceptance, perserverance, compassion, courage, kindness, cooperation, responsibility, honesty, and friendship.

Ask which theme these books demonstrated?
