When we return to school in January, it will be a new year (2018!) 
What are two things you want to get better at in 2018 and what will you do to get better?

One thing I want to get better at in 2018  is eating more meat and I will make sure to do that because at every meal I will remember and I will eat meat at every meal. Another thing I want to get better at is to exercise more and I will make sure to do that because every night after my homework I will remember to go downstairs and exercise. By Hayden

One thing I want to get better at is to make better snowballs because then I can throw them everywhere. Another thing I want to get better at is to have peice and I am going to just sit.  By Brennan

I want to get better at exercise because I will practice. Another thing I want to get good at is running because I will practice.     By Carter

I would want to get better at my facts so I stop counting with my fingers. Another thing that I want to get better at is my writing so my sentences are perfect. I would practice on brake. By Chase  

What I would like to get better at in 2018 is doing my math facts quicker and I will get better at it by practicing my math facts. Another thing I will get better at is that I want my reading score to go up and I will get better at it by practicing to read more. Thats some of the things I want to get better at. By Addison

One thing I want to get better at in 2018 is math facts and I’m gonna practice. Another thing is reading and I’m gonna practice. Thats some of the things I want to get better at. By Riley J.

Here are some of the things that I want to get better at in 2018. One thing that I want to get better at in 2018 is going to sleep more earlier and how I will get better at it is asking my mom or my dad to go to bed more earlier so I can get extra sleep that I was missing out on. Last thing that I am going to get better at in 2018 is practice my math facts so maybe I will get a candy bar in January and how I will get better at it is asking my parents to quiz me on some math facts. Those are just some things that I am going to get better at in 2018. By Kittrick

What I think I will not do is not eat junk foods any more and how I will not do it is to put alot  in the trash. Another thing is to play more outside than inside and how I will get at not staing outside is not having not alot of time on the tablet. By Charlotte

One thing I want to get better at is eating vegetables and I will get better at that by eating them. I also want to get better at exercising and I will get better at that by running. By Landon

I want to get better at is helikopters because it is hard to fly it and I am going to  get better at math facts because it is hard.I can practise them.by Gunnar

The BUGS were surprised today by a sign outside of the classroom after lunch welcoming them to "Le Livre Restaurant" and asking them to "please wait to be seated". 

They were each escorted to a seat at a table with a place setting, place card and a menu.
After being greeted by a hostess with a questionable French accent, a crazy chef appeared, bringing out books as "appetizers", "salads" and even "Le Plat Principal" (the main course)! 

The students played along nicely, participating in this crazy "book tasting" by using their menus to record how each course "tasted" to them.

Students were encouraged (by this strange "French" woman with a chef's hat) to look at the cover of the book, read the first page and decide if the book, genre and topic were of interest.

Each "course" brought out new books to try.  There was fiction, realistic fiction and even poetry!

There were a lot of giggles, several things lost in translation, a few new French words learned (we now know the difference between a mademoiselle and un garcon!)...

...but most importantly, we had FUN learning about genres, trying out new books, sampling reading to decide if a book was a "good fit book" or not.

Even books that we decided we did not particularly cared for helped us to learn about what we do like in literature!

There were a few skeptics at first
(The class knows they have a crazy teacher but I don't think they expected a
French chef to appear in the room!)

 We were concerned that Natalie might choke on her "appetizer" as she was giggling so hard!

 
We had this amazing waitress who helped with serving books and clearing the tables. 

She even made us a delicious REAL snack (that went right along with our "book tasting" event!)

The snack - and the books - were enjoyed by all!

This morning we were able to shop at the PTO sponsored Holiday Shop!

We really enjoyed having a chance to buy presents for our family members!

There were so many ideas to chose from!

The volunteers made the process so easy and fun!

There was even a familiar elf (Ava's mom) to help wrap our presents!

We were all so patient as we waited our turn to shop!

Thank you PTO for the opportunity to get a few great gifts for our family!!
