All our Razzle Dazzle Reading at home is not only making us stronger readers, but also won us the opportunity choose the "Razzle Dazzle Lunch of the month" for December. After great discussion and some votes, we selected french bread pizza, grapes, fresh veggies, and ice cream with a cookie on top. Yum!!

December brought many busy days filled with holiday fun. Some of our highlights were making cookies, watching the book buddies' holiday play, molding and painting Kwanzaa beads, making book to book connections between gingerbread stories, and caroling around the school.

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch! Green shirts, green ice cream, making the Grinch grin with our sharing, green grinchy stations...Friday was grinchfully great.

These monsters were just too great not to share! After reading monster stories, we graphed our favorite story by placing our own monster next to the book cover. Which one did you choose?
