Here's What's Happening in Mrs. McBrady's Classroom

December 4, 2017

Literacy

We are having another reading celebration because the entire class obtained their reading goal and many far exceeded the minimum goal!  We plan to watch a Christmas Movie Friday afternoon.  Students are invited to bring a small blanket upon which they may sit to watch to movie.  Students may bring an extra snack for movie time.  We will also eat lunch in the classroom.  It is a big deal when 26 students all meet a reading goal.  Congratulations 4th graders:)
