Christmas Card Exchange

Christmas Card Exchange!

We are doing a really neat project this Christmas season!  We sent Christmas cards to places all across the United States and now they are sending cards back to us!  We have also gotten a chance to check out some of their blogs!

Labeling the Teacher

We are learning about nonfiction features including labels, captions, table of contents, indexes, etc.  The kids labeled me!  Yikes!

Junior Achievement

The kids have been participating in Junior Achievement the past few weeks.  They have been learning about the community, wants and needs, goods and services, taxes, and voting.  They earned their completion certificates this week!  

Thanks Josh for teaching us!

Winter the Elf

Our friendly little Elf Winter has been busy, busy, busy this week at Glenbrook.  She is watching all the boys and girls and reporting her findings back to Santa!

To Our Blogging Buddies in New Zealand!

We wish you a Merry Christmas!

Elf on the Shelf

A very special Elf has been sent to second grade.  The kids are super excited!  She will be visiting our classrooms and reporting to Santa.  She will become magical once we name her.  Right now we are voting for our favorite elf name.  The kids know that she cannot be touched or she will lose her magical powers.  She loves to listen to kids but will not be able to talk to anyone...Santa's Rules!  Please keep an eye on the blog for pics!  You never know where she will end up!
