Sharpen Your Pencils Sunday

Hello Fabled Fourth Graders!

I know that many of you may not be looking forward to waking up early tomorrow morning! Don't worry, we have plenty of fun activities to make the transition smooth! Here are just a few things we will be working on this week...

• Hot Cocoa Read-In (with or without marshmallows). This week, we will have our party. Please bring in your reading mugs! I will select the date tomorrow. I am hoping for Friday.
• New Year's Around the World Webquest.
• Cool Resolutions Penguin Craft and Writing project. What are your goals for the year? We will give it a community focus twist.
• Wintery Words: poetry and craft

Here are some of the links that we will use tomorrow! I can't wait to wish you a Happy New Year in person.

New Years Celebrations Around the World. Check out the links to learn about how different cultures ring in the new year!
