Happy birthday Joe!
Happy birthday Carter! (January 1)

 Popcorn Word: all

Writer's Workshop: Labeling pictures in a "Winter" book.
  Language Arts: Using the text from Are You Sleeping, Brother John? The children will make their voices rise at a question mark and fall at a period and use inflection and intonation to make their reading sound like talking. We will transfer that learning to our Reader's Theater book We Like Fruit. Watch for homework to come home for this tonight. Have your child read it using inflection in their voice.

 DAILY 5!
New Work on Writing: "Write the Room" (Each child has their own folder to find words all over our classroom that start with a particular letter.)

Math: Collect 10 Together
Partners work together to collect 10 pennies using a 1, 2, 3 dot cube.
Their work focuses on:
~Counting a set of objects.
~Keeping track of a growing set of objects.
~Finding the total after a small amount (1, 2, 3) is added to a set up to 7.

Smart Room!

~It feels great to be back in the swing of things. I am looking forward to the rest of the school year!
~Be sure to have your child return their holiday homework so I can have lunch with them tomorrow!

~We enjoyed helping Gavin celebrate his birthday just before holiday break.
