December 19, 2017- Brought to you by The Polar Express...

Agenda:

• Homework: Read 20 min, bring settings page in if it is still at home
• Dress Like an Elf Day tomorrow- wear red, green, and white.  Or something shiny!
• Caroling starts tomorrow at 9:00am. You are most welcome to join us!
• No school Thursday afternoon or Friday

The Top Three Things We Learned and Did Today:

• Today we had our first day of Christmas Caroling!  We sang: We Wish You a Merry Christmas, Six White Boomers, I Want a Hippopotamus and Jingle Bells.
• In music, we watched a cartoon called a Garfield Christmas.  While we watched the movie, we had to journal about our favorite instrument and what the instrument we would invent.
• At the end of the day in Daily 5, we learned about what a simile and a metaphor is.  A simile compares two things using "like" or "as", while a metaphor tends to use the word "is".  Ask me about a simile or metaphor from the book The Polar Express.  We will need to write one of our own for our Polar Express re-write.
