We had a party with our 5th grade buddies and we made Nutter Butter reindeer. They had Nutter Butter faces. They had chocolate eyes, a red nose and pretzels for antlers. We used frosting to keep all the pieces together. When we were done, we ate them! They were delicious!  By: King Kong

Our Holiday Traditions


We wrote our Christmas traditions of what we like to do. By: Dog

Christmas Perspective Writing



We did Santa and Rudolph perspective writing. Miss Crowley read us lots of books where a character changes their perspective like in Cinderella. We read it from the stepmother’s perspective. We also read Little Red Riding from the wolf’s perspective.

So we wrote either Santa or Rudolph perspective writing about the night that there was a blizzard and Rudolph had to save the day. And after we wrote we made Art. You made either Santa or Rudolph. I wrote about Rudolph so I made a picture of Rudolph. We hope you like them. By: Butterfly


Christmas Multiplication

We worked on multiplication with cheerios and m&m’s! Miss Crowley would tell us to make groups and we would make them with our cheerios and m&m’s. We learned that multiplication is making equal groups and then finding out the total number. It was awesome! We got to eat the m&m’s and cheerios after we made a lot of groups. 



We also worked on Multiplication but instead of a worksheet, we practiced on Christmas lights. We used paint to make the bulbs. On the bulbs that is where we wrote our multiplication problems, starting with two times one. It was a really fun project and we learned a lot of problems in multiplication.

Our Native American Project

We learned a lot about Native Americans. We learned about seven different groups of Native Americans. We learned about the Hopi, the Utes, the Shawnee, the Wampanoags, the Apache, the Navajo, and the Zuni. We read about them in books and then we wrote about them. We also created really awesome videos on our ipads with the app Videolicious. We hope you like watching our videos!

Chocolate Cursive


Today we learned about cursive handwriting. We learned the letters e, i, l, n, m, h, j, s, a and t. We wrote the letters in pudding, chocolate pudding. We learned how to do that, and after we did the letters we got to eat our chocolate pudding.  By: Cat

In the cursive writing, we had lots of fun. We got to lick our fingers and we erased with our fingers and we had lots of pudding afterwards. By: Python

The pudding was delish. By: Snake

It was the best pudding I ever had. You should try learning cursive in pudding. By: Swan

I can't wait to teach my sister how to write cursive. By: Baby Pig

The pudding was delicious and it was fun and it really helped us learn to do cursive. By: Lion

The pudding was chocolate, tasty and very sweet. We learned lots of letters! By: Giraffe



Stain Glass Nativity




 We made stain glass nativity scenes and it was so fun. We got to take tissue paper and contact paper and decorate. They all look so pretty. By: Penguin

The first step was first we had to get one of those contact papers. Then, we peel off the paper it was attached to. Next, we put the contact paper on our desk. Then we put the black paper church. After that, we added tissue paper on it and finally we got another contact paper and sticked it. We loved it! By: Grizzly Bear

 We are hanging them in the windows because when the light shines on them, it will look pretty. They were all really fun to do. By: Hamster


Christmas Trees


For Art we made Christmas trees. We decorated with snowflakes, sequins and stickers and glitter glue. It was really fun making the Christmas trees. We each had to have dark blue or light blue. We made a pattern on our cabinets, so that it looked really cool. By: Leopard

For the Christmas trees we learned how to make mini snowflakes. We folded paper and then we cut the paper with triangles or squiggly lines and when we unfolded it, it looked cool. We also decorated the Christmas tree with sequins and we put snow on the bottom of the tree. We had fun doing it.

Christmas Adjectives


This week we worked with adjectives. We all got an ornament and we decorated it with adjectives and then we colored it. Adjectives are words that describe things, people and places. They make our writing bigger and more interesting. Some of the adjectives I wrote on my ornament were "Big, Happy, Yellow and Hard." I liked working with adjectives! By: Butterfly

We decorated the ornaments with lots of adjectives. We put them on a tree on a bulletin board in the classroom and they look good! By: Kitten
