Teddy Bear Time

Students in Mrs. Wells and Mrs. Little's class used their teddy bears as inspiration for writing this week. Our Treasures reading series asked students to write a persuasive poster so our classes chose to encourage everyone to have a teddy bear (or stuffed animal). They listed their reasons and concluded with an illustration of one of their reasons. Students enjoyed listening to the Legend of the Teddy Bear, a true story, along with the story of Ira Sleeps Over, about a boy who sleeps with a teddy bear. They were happy to snuggle with their bears during this time. Everyone then wrote a paragraph about their bears and an experience which they'd shared with him/her. Next, they colored a bear to resemble their own. Posters, paragraphs, and bears are all displayed in the hallway. Students stated that they really enjoyed these special bear lessons!

We are participating in a food drive for the area Food Pantry. Please send in your donations! The winning class gets a pizza party! Thank you!

We made red/white beaded icicle ornaments this week for our tree. They look so pretty! Our room is decorated in red and green and looks so festive.

Students are looking forward to "Santa Shopping" on Thursday, provided by the WHE PTO. Remember your money for shopping for your family.
