Week 8
It felt so good to have
the kids back!! We’ve had a very busy and interesting week. With a full week
off and a week of 2-hour delays we’ve been working hard to catch up to where we
need to be. I’m extremely proud of the kids for working hard and staying focused
despite the unusual week.
A little SC History
On Monday we had a
visitor come speak to us about South Carolina; the geography, the history, and
the economics of our fantastic state. The kids had some fantastic questions for
him!
Reading from our
Writer’s Notebooks
We write in our
writer’s notebooks almost daily. As I’ve been reading through their writer’s
notebooks I’ve been noticing some awesome author techniques that the kids have
been using. The kids have started sharing their writer’s notebooks and also
their author techniques with the class.
Book Buddies
We’ve all been
touched in some way by the flood. Either we have been directly affected through
our homes and cars or affected by the images we’ve seen on the news or that we’ve
seen with our own eyes. During our book buddy session with Mrs. Luchsinger’s
class on Friday the kids created thank you cards for the first responders who
helped during the flood.
A Celebration to End a Wonderful Week
Our very own Chase
celebrated his birthday on October 16. His mom came in with treats and cupcakes
with the class. The kids enjoyed this social hour and having some time to just
sit and hang with friends!
Next week we will be
operating on a 1-hour delay! Hopefully this will help both the kids and myself transition
back to our normal schedule.
