This week’s theme:
Fun and Excitement
Enjoy what you do! Enjoy your work and enjoy your play!

It’s true that your chores at home are your work and your current job is schoolwork. Here’s a peek at a new amusement park that is designed especially for kids who want to play like working adults.
You don’t need a fancy amusement park to imagine being a grown up with a cool job.
Did you know that the imaginative games you play at recess are training your brain for new situations? Believe it or not…
When you play you become a better storyteller and you use new words to fit the play situation!
When you play you learn to get along with others!
When you play you can imagine how other people feel! That’s called empathy.

When you play you use your creativity! Woot-Woot!
When you play you learn to solve problems!
It’s a good thing some of your work is to have fun!

Want to see something cool? Greetings to you all from President’s Park in Washington DC! The National Park Service wrote to say thanks for the wonderful Victor School poems and pictures that were put on our twelve ornaments. They will be on display until January and then will become part of the official park collection of ornaments. You can check out our ornaments here:


You can click on a picture of a Montana ornament and read about our school and how we made our ornaments by writing poems with Caroline Patterson!
Sponsored by the Victor Chapter of the
National Honor Society.

Announcements from the
Quarterdeck:
Kindergarten:
Kindergarten kids are busy making holiday crafts, lots of paste, paint, and EXTRA glitter.! Between painting snowmen and making a glorious parent gift we are practicing our reading, adding  subtracting , and measuring.  It is a busy month in the littlest Pirate's room.

Title I:




Second Grade:
Second graders are busy with poster contest, writing about what it means to be a Victor Pirate and learning how to keyboard; as well as being busy with Christmas related activities.

Third Grade:  
The 3rd graders have been working hard on memorizing their multiplication facts!  They are doing so awesome, and will be starting division next week.  We will also be crafting some festive Christmas ornaments as gifts next week, and might even try to make some glitter slime!


Fourth grade:  
Fourth graders are working on the physical and behavioral adaptations of animals. A physical adaptation is some type of structural modification made to a part of the body. A Behavioral Adaptation is something an animal does - how it acts - usually in response to some type of external stimulus.  

Today is also National:


Fifth grade:

The graders are learning how to do research by writing mini-reports on how Christmas is celebrated around the world!







Art News:
We are learning about Magpies in Art class so we can do some bird art. Here is a cool nest built by a magpie pair on our school custodian, Lyle’s property. It has twigs, thick mud and smaller more flexible plant parts. Lyle has horses at home. The magpies included some horse hair in the softest part of the nest where the eggs go! Birds are clever engineers.

They are also helpful to bison! How do you think this bison gets rid of the ticks and insects that get in his coat? They are delicious--to a magpie!









   

They really, really do help our school!!!!
