WANTED: Nigel the Dolphin!

Do you know what happened this morning? Mr. Robinson snuck into our classroom while we were in music class and he dolphin-napped our class dolphin named Nigel! He left us a note on the white board that said he borrowed something in our classroom, and we have to sing him a Christmas carol in order to get it back. Nigel is usually sitting on top of the tall filing cabinet, and when we looked he was GONE! So we marched down to Mr. Robinson's office and sang our very best version of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town". He gave Nigel back to us and he is now safe back on top of the filing cabinet again. Luckily Mr. Robinson took good care of our little dolphin while he was gone! :)

We did a cute Reader's Theater this morning! In the play, I was Santa Claus and all the kids wanted me to become the President of the United States! It was fun to perform a short play with our class! We also had PE and Music. In music we had a choice to watch The Nutcracker or to play Dreidel. In PE we jumped rope. We also walked, skipped, galloped, and ran around the gym. We learned more about polygons and shapes during math. A quadrangle and a quadrilateral are both shapes that have 4 sides and 4 angles. Some shapes have a square angle. A square angle is also called a right angle, and its in the shape of a square. The corner of a notecard or a post-it note fits perfectly inside. Only 2 shapes have square angles, the rectangle and the square!

One more day until winter break!
