Wednesday, January 2, 2013!

Wow! I can't believe that it is already 2013...time flies when you are having fun! We are almost halfway through this trimester and I feel like we are a little behind in a few areas-especially Science and Social Studies. Oh well... nothing we can do but keep on keeping on! Today, we began the day reminiscing about Christmas and what we all did over break. I wanted to get this out of the way so we didn't share all day long. For the most part, this worked great. In Math, we worked with fractions in the form of probability and chance. We talked about outcomes using playing cards. Some kiddos play cards more than others and therefore had a little easier time today. In Reader's Workshop, we read a Time For Kids about 2012 in review in pictures. We will be making our own Year in Pictures too! Some students had a lot of important events that happened in 2012 where others found it a little more challenging to find these landmark events of the previous year. In Writing, we discussed and wrote resolutions and ended our first day back with Guidance.
