This
week we took a math test on Graphs and one on Money. There are a few children
still working on passing the money test.
We
invited David’s mom to come in and tell us about Germany and Norway because she
had lived in both places for a few years. We were excited to learn about the
castles and the fjords. We also liked the yummy German cookies and to hear the
Norwegian language. We found out that we could call our Christmas Store a Flea
Market. We also had a feast from different foods from Europe. The favorite was
spaghetti and the least favorite was sauerkraut. We also wrote a letter to
Santa letting him know of our wants and needs and why we deserve them. You may
read them in the hall along with our research on different European traditions.
For
part of our class Christmas Party we are going to decorate edible Christmas
Trees. I will supply the sugar cones and frosting but would appreciate help
with small candy like M&M’s, Skittles, Nerds, Gum Drops Etc. If you wish to donate please have them at our
class by the 21st so I know what I need to purchase. Our class would
really appreciate any donation for this activity.
For
our school Christmas sing we would like the entire second grade to dress up in
their best clothes and if they want they can wear a Santa hat.
