We were all pretty excited about two weeks off from school, and we enjoyed our last day together before break playing Around the World, Apples to Apples and a new game, appropriately named, "Sad, Sad Day." For while we were anxious for the holidays to come, for sleep-in days and reading in bed, we had to say goodbye to a dear classmate today and for that, our hearts were a little heavy. We are sad to say goodbye to Evan as he has been an...

This week we have focused on learning the regular past tense - which all just means that the verb will end with the letters -ed. These two little letters help our eyes to tell our brains that this action took place before now. I jumped. She planted. He scored. The trouble with this pattern is that it never SAYS what it looks like! Our Word Detectives were hot on the scene, though! On Monday, the class created...

Welcome to the story of Despereaux Tilling, a mouse who is in love with music, stories, and a princess named Pea. It is also the story of a rat called Roscuro, who lives in the darkness and covets a world filled with light. And it is the story of Miggery Sow, a slow-witted serving girl who harbors a simple, impossible wish. These three characters are about to embark on a journey that will lead them down into a horrible dungeon, up into a glittering...

With Thanksgiving just a few days away, we recently took a look at the word 'gratitude' and talked about what it means to be grateful. We read a book about gratitude and decided to share what we are all thankful for. While I only have room here to share a few of the great Gratitude Writings our class authored this week, the rest are in the hallway for parent conferences. We sure hope you take a moment to stop and read all the amazing...

Ever wonder what your teacher does on the weekend? Last weekend, I spend way too many hours in the classroom organizing BOOKS!! The students will tell you that I cleaned out the Closet of Death so I could access our leveled guided reading books easier. Which meant all the craft supplies had to find a new home (and get organized as well).Which meant our reading books needed to find new homes. (Let's hope this cabinet is...
Jose was practicing his parts of speech with a grammar activity today. He had to color words by whether they were nouns, verbs or adjectives. Jose had no problem deciding what part of speech the words were, but first there were a few words that he had trouble sounding out. He grabbed a scrap piece of paper and began fish hooking the words into syllables to decode what the vowels would say in each word. I watched as he carefully...

We have been working during the first couple months of school, to learn the writing process. We have practiced each step along the way and produced our first story this week. We now know that a good story......starts with an idea...Then it's a good idea to practice your story out loud to a friend (or to yourself).Drawing a quick sketch of what happens at the beginning, middle and end of the story helps us organize our thoughts. Rehearsing...
