Today's holiday tale was 'The Gift of the Magi.'

Then we had PE with Mrs. Jans.

We finished reading the story after PE. This story is  about a husband and wife who are challenged to buy each other gifts because they have very little money. Della sold her hair to buy Jim a platinum fob chain for his watch and Jim sold his watch to buy Della precious combs for her hair. We discussed the author's message in the book.

When finished reading we finished our journal entries about our favourite holiday and why.

Then we moved on to UOI. We read a story titled 'Rashad's Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr.

Throughout the story we asked questions to check for understanding.

After reading we compared and contrasted Ramadan and Eid Al-Fitr to Christmas in a Venn-diagram.
Here is what we came up with.

Then we had first lunch and recess.

After we had  our spelling test:

The bonus words are:
1) spray
2) betray
3) Saturday
4) driveway
5) yesterday

Afterwards,we created snowmen or 'women' bio-glyphs about ourselves.

Then we went to French with Mme. Stella.



When we returned after second lunch and recess we finished up our snowmen and painted ornaments before having some Golden time.

Alexa and Charlotte took their ornaments home as they are on an early holiday!

Then we got ready for home time!

Have a lovely weekend!
