I hope you all enjoyed your winter break and extra days off! Thank you all so much for thinking of me at the holidays. The gifts and cards are so appreciated and I am thankful to you all.
I have to say, your kiddos really showed me a welcome back by coming in today, ready to learn! We were able to pick up right where we left off and as we spent the day review, review, reviewing, they really impressed me by what they were able to recall. We reviewed our icharts during Daily 5 and discussed expectations for learning. In writing, we reviewed the types of writing that we have learned so far this year (Pattern writing, Small moment writing, and Opinion writing) and students filled their pages with legible stories and finger spaces! In math, we reviewed icharts for behavior expectations. Mrs. L. is currently meeting with them to talk about the Kelso Wheel and solving small problems and big problems.
We will finish the day by making salt crystals and writing our observations in journals.
