The fourth grade and I cannot believe how fast time is flying by!  We are already in the month of December and preparing for the wonderful Christmas Extravaganza we are about to have at the Academy of St. James.  My students are looking forward to singing Angels We Have Heard on High.  I must say they sound very angelic!  They will also be joining the third grade to perform the Twelve Days of Christmas.  When the fourth grade is not showcasing their talents on the stage they are demonstrating them with their imaginative writing skills.  Last month they wrote about how to keep their pet turkeys from becoming Thanksgiving dinner.  This month they will be writing about how to keep those turkeys from getting scooped up by Santa!  Perhaps an elf or a reindeer will snatch them up instead.  In any case I am looking forward to reading all the creative thoughts my students have!
