Holiday Party Time!

In the morning, we visited with our Kindergarten friends.

 

                                                         
                                             Then, we hung out in our classroom.

                                                       
                                                    We had a clay creation challenge.

                                             
                                             We drew holiday pictures with our eyes closed.

                                                                 So fun! We laughed a lot.

                                      Hot chocolate party~ WOW! Thank you room parents!!

                                                                            ~ YUM ~

                                                  We are so thankful for our room parents.

                                                 Finnians know how to have fun!

  

Merry Christmas! See you soon!

PARTS OF SPEECH DANCE PARTY!!

I like to teach all parts of speech at the same time. And, then I also teach a "dance move" to go along with each part of speech. Students love to label each word in a sentence and then act out each part of speech in the sentence.  FUN!!

Interjections (exclamation point)

Verbs (can show action)

Articles (boring words)

Conjunctions (connects two words or thoughts)

Verb again..lots of verbs :)

Mrs. Finn's Class ROCKS!

I am so excited about this group of fourth graders. We have so many sweet students in our room.  Currently we have 15 boys and 7 girls--wow! That is a big difference, isn't it? I am thrilled to have so many repeat families back with me this year. How lucky I am to get to be a part of your family's life again. Thank you for trusting me with your children. I won't take that responsibility lightly. Enjoy the photos that I post throughout the year.

Love,  Mrs. Heather Finn
