December 8-12

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory


The children did such a wonderful job on Galileo I saw a lot of growth! I am so happy! What smart little people they are. Thank you so much for your help in feeding them breakfast and getting a good rest each night. 

This week we will begin our literature study of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I have so many fun projects planned for this unit! Who doesn't love chocolate week!! We will be doing all kinds of writing, science, reading, and math that correlate with candy. I think the students are going to really enjoy it and learn a lot in the process. 

Our class Christmas party will be Friday, December 19th. It is a half day. We will be having a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Party. Here is the link to the items we still need for our class.
