Is this January??

Wow!!  Can you believe this weather??  I had a student yesterday ask me if they had to wear a coat since it was so warm!!  That's crazy!  It sounds like it's going to be getting colder next week so please make sure your child is still bringing appropriate winter clothes.  The playground is muddy so boots are a must.  It's also cold in the morning so please make sure your child is bringing snowpants.

Our snack closet is empty so if you're shopping this weekend snacks would be appreciated.  Your student and their stomach will appreciate it!

We did a review of the Daily 5 this week during literacy.  I was impressed...the had 20 minutes of stamina for Read to Self and Read to Someone.  Way to go 2A!  We struggled a little with Work on Writing.  It was hard for them to write the whole time.  We will continue to work on building this stamina back up to 20 minutes.  During work on writing time students are able to write several forms of writing: personal narrative, fiction story, Fairy Tales, letters, lists, non-fiction.

When we reviewed Cadet Pride they did a super job in the hallway!!  They are so quiet I have to look to see if they are behind me :)  Unfortunately, they have been quite chatty in the classroom.  I would like them to work on this. 

We started a new unit in Social Studies.  We will be exploring Earth and learning about states, our country, and the continents and oceans. 

I hope everyone has a super weekend and you enjoy the nice weather.
