January 4th, 2012

Good Morning!!

I see it has been a month since I last posted a blog! It has a been a very busy month for sure! The students were kept busy all through the month of December with different projects and things to focus on each week. We didn't quite finish Mr. Popper's Penguins ( so that is on the agenda this month), but we did get to watch the movie and they loved it! The students did a fantastic job at their Christmas Concert! I do have pictures that you will get at the end of the year :) Some other highlights from December include our baking experience for parent gifts, our Christmas Reader's Theater, and then of course or Christmas Party to wrap up the 1st Semester. It was a great 1st semester and I'm hoping the 2nd semester can be filled with just as much excitement and joy! I have lots of things planned for the remaining school year! We will hopefully get a chance to interview our residents at the Prairie View Care Center and create biographies for them. Also, a big project we will soon begin is our Unit on South Dakota history. I have lots of resources that I use to teach the students all they need to know about South Dakota. They get to go on their very own South Dakota Road Trip without leaving the classroom! Another piece that goes along with is our Famous South Dakotan Museum... I'll have more information on that soon! We will be finishing up verbs next week and on to adjectives!! I'll try to keep you up to date better this 2nd semester!

Happy New Year!!
