As we approach the New Year I am so thankful for such a wonderful first half of the school year. Our final two weeks before vacation were packed with fun. We had a visit from the kindness kids. They encouraged us to participate in random acts of kindness such as collecting canned goods for the Westford pantry, giving away new pencils to a younger class, and delivering holiday candy canes to our previous year's teachers. The students had fun and the recipients of kindness were always appreciative.
Thank you to our room parent Jen Skolnick, and the other parent volunteers that coordinated a great Winter Celebration party. The students all enjoyed themselves. During the week we also presented on festivals and holidays celebrated around the world. The students enjoyed learning about other customs and traditions.
January will be an exciting month! We will have a visit from a local author and will start our first official round of literature circles. We will finish our second round of book talks this month and students will be assigned a more formal book report in February.
Enjoy the remainder of vacation and I will see you all in the new year!
