Well, I noticed that my last blog post was on December 7th which was almost a month ago!!! I feel like the last few weeks of school flew by and Christmas Break was upon us. Then, the break went by even faster!! With that said, my New Year's Resolution is to at least post new things every two weeks. In the mean time, I want to play catch up on some things that were happening before school was let out for our Holiday Break. First, on the last day of school we had a guest reader come in (a former Bethany Teacher) read all of the fifth grade students "The Cajun Night Before Christmas". If you have never read the story, below is a picture of the book and a summary from Amazon. It is fantastic and hilarious!

| "Set in a Louisiana bayou and told in Cajun dialect-de chirren been nezzle/Good snug on de flo'--the poem has lively illustrations that perfectly suit the unique text." -Horn Book "Rice is especially good with facial expressions, whether they are on a Texas jack rabbit, a longhorn steer, a dusty cowboy, or the green and long-nosed alligator named Gaston." -Library Journal It's the night before Christmas in a tiny shack on the Louisiana bayou, and Santa Claus, with his eight friendly alligators and toy-laden skiff, is on his way. Written in lively Cajun accents, the best-selling Cajun Night Before Christmas is a beloved holiday classic." |
Below is a picture of our fifth graders listening to the story as well as a brief video of our guest reader Beth Fitzgerald!
Last but not least, I also made a few Christmas presents for my wonderful fifth grade team and my awesome school psychologist!!!! See the pictures of their Christmas presents!
