Where the Wild Things Are

We've been doing some work with the book "Where the Wild Things Are." Check out our artwork! We made fantastic monsters using paint and markers! We learned about different lines in art too! 

Look at Bernard today! One of my students used our million dollar word today and said "Bernard is very generous." Too cute! We also got our letters back from Santa! Needless to say we had an exciting day!

Please remember to send in a hat, sunglasses and anything cowboy like that you have at home! 

Thanks!!!!

If Santa was stuck in my chimney...

Today we brainstormed what we would do if Santa got stuck in our chimney! We could poor syrup down the chimney to make it slippery or someone said we could call the fire department! We also decided that Santa eats too many cookies so we thought of some healthy snacks to leave him too! 

Also look at our daredevil Bernard zip lining!!!!!

You're Hired!!!!

Our elf applications have been returned and everyone was accepted! Each student is responsible for reporting to Bernard about naughty and nice behaviour they see around the school! 

Have fun! :)
