Hooray for February!

There's lots going on this month! Today we just took the NAEP test and the kids did great. We have Ms. Grace in our class for our literacy block for this month. We are beginning personal essay, which is the best, since we can give our opinion of the idea and let our voices be heard!

We have Jump Rope for Heart with Coach Blake. The Book Fair will be coming soon too! There's lots of reading going on in our class. It's wonderful!

Update

Hey, we're on our last week of Realistic Fiction and getting ready to start publishing. I think we're ready to get started on another genre. We have even more books to add to our class library! We will be having Ms. Grace, our 3rd and 4th grade curriculum coach joining us for the month of February. She will be teaching with me for Reader's and Writer's Workshop.

We will be having our Valentine's Day party on Friday, Feb. 12. I can not send home a class list, so your kids will have to do their very best to remember their classmates, probably by where they sit in class.
