On the Friday before our week off we did a couple of fun things. Two reading groups had just finished a unit test and so they were able to choose a Reader's Theatre story that they would perform for the class. The Green group chose the story of How Bear Lost His Tail.
They each had a part in the story and they worked really hard on reading with expression and fluency so that their audience would be able to listen and follow along easily.
The Red Group chose the story of The Lion and The Hare.
Their reading sounded so good! They had been practicing and practicing their parts and I loved hearing the difference from the first time they read their parts to when they read to the class.
In the afternoon we did an art project and since it will be Christmas before I know it, we went ahead and decorated some ornaments. I got out the glitter and glue and the students cheered as though I was Santa himself. First they carefully colored their ornaments and then they would glue and glitter and then glue and glitter and then glue and glitter some more.

They turned out beautiful and we will hang them in our hallway for a couple of weeks and then send them home for you to enjoy!
