So this is the new year..

Today was an excellent first day back, off to a great start.

Writers Workshop: We started the morning with a class discussion about our Winter Breaks, including trips taken, gifts received and people that time was spent with. After our discussion concluded students were asked to make an entry in their Sourcebook surrounding this topic.

Science: In Science we reviewed the 5 Senses and completed a worksheet about things that we saw, smelt, heard, tasted, and touched in December.

Math: We began our unit on measurement using linking cubes to measure various items around the classroom from a student's height to a colored pencil. Over the next month we will be exploring and comparing with various other units of measure.

Throughout the day, we were reminded of classroom routines and procedures. With this fresh start, I am urging children to use best judgment, and treat each other with kindness and respect.
