Mrs. Harris' Class

Channel 19 Newsman, Carson Clark came to our school to read a book to our class in part with the Marshall County Retired and Senior Volunteer Program with Miss Sue and Rose Myers.

 

BLSK celebrated Christmas with a Christmas Storytelling Festival.  The students at BSLK rotated around the school for a Christmas experience centered in literacy.  "Otis" the tractor came back for a visit as Mrs. Landers read the "Otis Christmas Story" to the children.  In the library the Gingerbread house led into the "Gingerbread Baby" story. Reindeer games were played in the gym. Of course, no Christmas would be complete without "Twas the Night Before Christmas" and a visit from Santa.  The day ended with Pajamas and hot cocoa in classrooms, where the students were reading and watching "The Polar Express".  

Mrs. Henderson’s Class 

I love Thanksgiving! We begin our Thanksgiving unit by learning about homes. We learn about the different types of homes around the world and how people build their homes based on the materials around them. We end this week talking about the type homes that the Pilgrims and Indians lived in. We use The Three Little Pigs to kick-off "homes" week.  Each child drew a pig and then chose to either dip it in the shaving cream and paint mixture or paint it. They did a great job! I always encourage them to draw using the different shapes seen in the object being drawn. It's difficult to get them started at the beginning of the year but by this time no one even says, "I can't” anymore!

Mrs. Marsh

This week in Mrs. Marsh's class we have been learning about the letter "Rr" and about Reindeer.  We also read about the most famous reindeer, "Rudolph".  We made magic reindeer food to put in our yards on Christmas Eve and made reindeer ornaments to hang on our class Christmas tree.
