We have had a busy and productive last day before our winter break. The kids started the day by opening their gifts and enjoying a candy cane before jumping into writing their letters to Bob the bobcat (our school mascot). This week we learned about some of Bob's favorite things and used them to construct a conversational letter. The kids did a great job and we already have mail from Bob waiting for us. The heroes suggested we invite him for lunch one day and have a "mac-n-cheese" party since it seems to be Bob and the kids personal favorite meal. After our letters we finished our new years goals and hung them on the Barretts' snowman. They have some lofty goals so be sure to check with your child to see what he/she is hoping to achieve this coming year. Finally, we spent some time comparing/contrasting the Polar Express movie and book and doing a retell using train booklets. They have been busy and having a blast. Hard to believe it is nearly the new year...they are looking more and more like big kids every day!
