With a delay this morning, I thought I'd take some time to show you some pictures of what life has been like in our classroom for the last week. We've been doing all kinds of fun learning!
Since we missed our Christmas party before break, we had our party when we came back. I read the story Twas the Night Before Christmas, and every time I said the word "the" the students passed the present they were holding to the person to their left. We had a blast, and the kiddos were so excited about their fun gifts.
For Christmas, I received some really fun materials for the students to use to do some work with words. The students have been exploring them and learning how to use them. Soon, they will be using them independently during our Daily 5 reading time!
We have been working on building our independence again in reading and writing. This is what Work on Writing looks like in our classroom! I wish you could hear what it sounds like. The students are completely quiet as they focus on their writing. It's amazing to see!
