Sorry again for the short update, I have plans to post about my guided reading groups and other fun activities soon!
Sorry for the lack of updates lately! Things have been crazy busy, what with endless snow days, my wedding anniversary, my birthday, and life in general! I've also been battling some serious illness this week...I'm so glad it's Friday so I can rest this weekend! Here are some picture updates of what I've been up to lately! We've been all about moon phases lately in our classroom! We just wrapped up our moon phases project, and we spent a great deal of time talking about why the moon has phases, and even created some oreo models to help us understand. I like to use mini oreos for this activity, and my students definitely liked nibbling on their phases afterwards. We have a new classroom pet, thanks to my amazing former high school students! We are the proud owners of some moss named Hulk. He requires just a little sun and water for survival! My students think he is pretty fascinating! We've also been working on refining our constructed response skills over the past few weeks. We've practiced writing great responses individually and as a group. My students are really becoming fantastic writers!

Hi Friends,
I want to make sure my students have the materials they need to succeed, so I just created a request for my classroom at DonorsChoose.org: Ridiculously Reinforcing Reading! Give to my classroom by February 14, 2014 and your donation will be doubled thanks to DonorsChoose.org. Just enter the code INSPIRE on the payment page and you'll be matched dollar for dollar (up to $100). If you chip in to help my students, you'll get awesome photos and our heartfelt thanks. Thanks so much, Melissa P.S. If you know anyone who may want to help my classroom, please pass this along! |
