Winter Break

Today I want you to think about your 2 week vacation you will start tomorrow.

What will be the best part of being off school? You may not use I am excited to sleep in. I know everyone is excited not to get up early for school. What part of being with family and friends do you like best when you get to spend time together?

Last Day

Today is our last day before our holiday winter break. Tell me 3 things you are looking most forward too during your 2 weeks off of school, and not just sleeping in. Please be creative and sincere as you think about this valuable time off to be with your family & friends during this time of year.

Believe

Today we will watch part of the movie Miracle on 34th Street. The movie is trying to get people to still believe in the spirit of Christmas. We will begin watching the movie after we do part of our presentations on the pros and cons of spending money.

1. Today write a toy or a symbol of Christmas with each letter of your name. Here is my example:

D decorations E elfs B bows R reindeer A angels

Miracles

Today we are going to begin watching Miracle on 34th Street. A wonderful movie on Believing in the Spirit of Christmas. During the movie I want you to think about the pros and cons if Santa exist.

Today we will also be giving some of our speeches on pros and cons of an Allowance with our Spending Money essay.

1. Write your first name and give me a toy that starts with each letter. For example A is for airplane B is for bicycle.

Holiday symbols

Poinsettia plants are the beautiful red flowers you see at Christmas time. They are a vibrant plant that originated in Mexico. There are many holiday symbols you see that always remind you of Christmas.

Today I want you to think of the symbols of Christmas.

1. What five symbols of Christmas do you see that remind you of the holiday season? You may not use SNOW.

Poinsettas

Poinsettias are the pretty red flowering plant you see this time of year. The plant is originated in Mexico and has become a symbol of Christmas. There is now 100 different varieties of colors of the poinsettia plant. My favorite is red. This year they expect to sell 150 million plants. That is a lot of flowers!

1. What are five other symbols of Christmas besides the beautiful poinsettia plant?

Nobel Peace Prize

Today is the Nobel Peace Prize Day. Alfred Nobel invented dynamite. He hated that dynamite became such a big part of our wars and caused injury and death. He then wanted this day to honor those that lead PEACE in our country. Nobel wanted something good to be remembered by him and not the dynamite. Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, and President Obama are a few of the winners of the Nobel Peace Prize.
