Portrait of MLK Jr.

Reader's Workshop: We will be starting Guided Reading in the next few weeks, so it is important that we practice procedure for Private Reading so that I'll be able to pull individuals and groups to work 1 on 1 with during this time.

Activity: In preparation for Snow Day, today we created our skiers that will compete in the Snow Olympics. Students colored their own individual skiers, completing both the front and recreating the attire on the back to match.

Social Studies: After revisiting some ideals of Martin Luther King Jr. students colored in a portrait of Dr. King. We mounted them and created what appeared to be a wooden frame.

Activity: Since today was the 90th day of school, that leaves only TEN days until the 100th day of school. We colored, cut, and wore our badges that stated "Only 10 More Days". We will do this each day until the February 5th.

Computer Lab: We once again completed a sign today adding borders, our names, and clip art. Each student was able to print their own work and take it home this afternoon.

ALSO, this weekend I made a very exciting purchase!! New cubbies for Room 4. Students will now have easier access to their personal storage space.
