Secret Snowflake
‘Tis is the season of spreading kindness!
It isn't about buying anything, but more about making something and doing something nice from the heart for our secret pal each day.
This activity helps build upon the caring community in our classroom. It also reinforces that one person can make a difference.
On the days below you will leave a special treat for your secret snowflake. On Wednesday and Thursday you can secretly give me the card/poem and I will put them in the student mailboxes. You may also leave a clue as to your identity if you wish. It is nice to put time and effort into these special treats for your classmates. On Friday we will sit down and each student will open their gifts one by one.
Wednesday Dec. 18th - Handmade Card
A card wishing your classmate well, to show you care.
Thursday Dec. 19th- A Decorated Poem
Could be an acrostic of the recipients’ name or any poem about the recipient!
I will provide special winter themed paper if needed.
Friday Dec. 20th - Handmade Gift
This gift is made from the heart!

Social Studies- Roanoke "The Lost Colony"
In Social Studies, we have been learning about the first English settlements, starting off with Roanoke, "The Lost Colony". This is always the most fun for the kids, as it is still known as a mystery to this day. They learned the gist of the background then had to dive into all the different theories of what happened to the colonist who landed there. After they did their research, they developed their own theories. They may have agreed with one they learned about, or came up with one of their own. They had to report on it and write their own newspaper article using evidence from class, as if the mystery had been solved.
I loved seeing how excited they were during these activities!
Comment below to let me know what you enjoyed most about the Lost Colony of Roanoke.
