Today I went to Mrs. Almond's classroom at 1:30. She had me grade some math tests and then we took the kids out to recess. It was very cold and there was lots of snow on the ground. Her four rules for playing outside on a snowy day are. 1) Never throw snowballs, it is a state law on school property and students can be expelled. 2) Do not play on the big piles of plowed snow, kids always fall off and get hurt. 3) No sliding on the ice, she has had kids knock their front teeth out doing that. Last but not least 4) Students can not play in the snow unless they are wearing snow pants and snow boots.
At 2:30 I went to Mrs. Greenfield's class. The students were making paper poinsettias. They have been learning about Christmas around the world, and learned that we got poinsettias as a Christmas tradition from Mexico. The students then got all of their Christmas projects organized to take home and then sat in a big circle around the rug and went over rules and procedures for tomorrows Christmas party rules. The students will be doing a gift exchange at the party where they can steal the gifts from each other or pick one from the center. Her first rule is...No Crying! After preparing them for the festivities, she read to them out of another Roald Dahl book. The Giraffe, the Pelly, and Me. School was out at 3:30 and the students ran out the door on their way home probably to play in the snow!
