Week 15

I hope everyone had a splendid Thanksgiving.  Welcome back to school!  Last week we had a blast with our read-a-thon.  Some students read to the class, we read to a friend, we listened to some poetry, Mrs. Callahan and Mrs. Duff read us some books and we listened to other stories on the computer.  It was fun to wear pajamas and bring blankets and pillows to school.  What a great day!

Vacation was fun, now it is time to get back into the routines, start recording reading minutes daily, book titles read, and complete the online math homework due Mondays.
