December 15th- December 19th

NO SCHOOL DECEMBER 29th - JANUARY 2nd! The kids return on January 5th!

MATH- We just finished up Unit 6 on money, time, and data. They are really understanding time and they are beginning to catch on to money. This unit just introduced data and graphing, so we will hit it again later on in the year. This week we will be reviewing some of the math concepts that we have already covered.
WRITING-We finished our persuasive paragraphs and they look fantastic!! The kids really did a great job!! The writing is hanging up in the hallway outside of the office. If you have a chance, go take a look at the fantastic writing that our class is doing!
GUIDED READING-We are still working hard on questioning before we read, while read read, and after we read. This is a great way to get the students talking about the book!!
TEACHER NOTES-I really appreciate all of your help and support in the classroom and at home!! Thanks for all that you do!! This year has really been great!!
BIG KAHUNA- The Big Kahuna this week is Sierra Gearhart!

Christmas Sing-Along Assembly

We will be having the annual Christmas Sing-Along Assembly on December 16th at 2:00 pm in the gym. Every grade picks a Christmas song and sings it for the school. It is a really fun assembly and I would invite ALL of you to come join us. The second grade had picked Up On The Housetop this year. I hope to see you there!!

Welcome to our classroom blogg!!

I have decided to start a blogg for our class!! I thought that this would be another way to communicate with the you (the parents) and a way to update you on what is going on in our classroom. I also thought that it would be a fun way to share some pictures of your children working on projects or participating in fun school activities. Feel free to leave me comments or questions and always feel free to email me at mmcmickell@washk12.org. I hope that you like the blogg!!
