It has been a wonderful Literacy Week and Christmas is just around the corner!

Appreciation at HIS

The second grade class has had an eventful week.  The highlight had to be
our class competition on a book report
poster.  Mr. Harris, Mrs. Welz and myself had such a hard time judging
the posters since all the students did such a wonderful job.

3rd place - Shunta Toyama
2nd place - Kisa Koda
1st place - Jessica Lin

Book Report Poster Winners! 

The students also gave their best at the Spelling Bee.

3rd place - Phillip Luan
2nd place - Veronica Kuo
1st place - Ayden Smith

Great job everyone!

Spelling Bee Winners!

This week in Math we started Chapter 8 on solid shapes and next week
we will continue with this chapter.

In English we started the pre-writing phase of Unit 4 Writing a Story.
I look forward to next week when the students will draft and revise
their story.

In Social Studies we started Unit 4 People Long Ago and will
continue with this next week.

Next week we will also be getting ready for our Christmas Show. The
show will be held on Friday evening and will be filled with many
special performances that are not to be missed!  More information to come.

Configurations to Shin Naito for being this week's Student of the Week.
