To kick off Literacy Month I started reading the book "The Witches" by Roald Dahl to the children for our morning read-a-loud. For many of students it is their very first long chapter book. As a class competition, the students will create an original poster-sized book cover for this book. Mr. Harris and myself will judge the poster and awards will be handed out at the conclusion of Literacy Month. The judges will look at originality, visual appeal, neatness and if it contains all aspects of a book cover. Good luck!
The Christmas show next Friday will start at 7:15. Please have your child fed and back at school in Mr. Anderson's classroom at 6:15 PM. Parents can then head downstairs for a lite snack. The show will have a sing-a-long so everyone is encouraged to participate. It should be a fun evening. I know the second graders are excited. The class will be wearing Santa hats for the show. If you have one please have your child bring it to school on Monday.
Read-a-thon sponsor forms are due on Monday 9th December. If the school gets 500 sponsors, a student from each class will be chosen to throw a pie in their teachers face (I hope it's cherry).
The students wanted to do a small Secret Santa gift exchange for our Christmas party on December 18th. Each student has chosen a name and are to think of what that person would like as a gift. Students were instructed not to spend over 150 NTD and to keep who they are giving the gift to a secret. Students should wrap their gift and secretly put it under the tree in the classroom by the 18th.

In Reading we read the story "A Trip to the Fire House" and next week we will read "A Bushy Mustache".
The Student of the Week this week is Yebin. Yebin always asks when she is unsure of an answer and gives a helping hand to classmates when they need it. Keep it up!
