After advent calendar, we sang The Little Drummer Boy. It's a book that one cannot simply read if one knows the song!
We continued working on the Christmas Around the World: Brazil package before heading to the library. During Library, the students watched two more trailers about books on the Battle of the Books list. Next, Mrs. Draboczi taught the kids how to use Book Creator. They made a simple Christmas theme page today, but will be putting their skills to use next week and later throughout the year.
After recess and P.E., we made skiiers (boys, girls, and snowmen) instead of doing Math. These we will be sending, along with our letters, to the students in Campbell River with whom we will be sharing information about our biomes.
During lunch, we practiced our song in the gym.
After lunch, I read another story: Follow That Star.
With each of our stories today, we identified the perspective of the storyteller.
Lastly, we watched a couple of short videos about Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming (links are below) before continuing to work on our information package.
