Well I had high hopes for this blog last year. Unfortunately it just got away from me. This year I have high hopes that will hopefully be fulfilled!
We started the year off very well. A few of our old friends are no longer with us and we have added five new friends to our class for a total of 22 friends! We are packed to the gills, but it is all good!
Our first novel Tornado by Betsy Byars is under our belt and I am pleased to say the kids did fantastic! We were a bit rusty, but onward we go. We continue to review math skills and classroom routines.
This week we begin a nine day unit on Hurricanes. The interesting thing about this is several times I have taught this unit, a hurricane has appeared in the Gulf, fingers crossed we can complete the unit without an actual hurricane. The kids will track a fake hurricane twice daily, learn all about hurricane formation and how hurricanes can cause massive damage depending on the category. It is an exciting unit and we even have a hurricane hunter coming to speak with us about his job on September 14.
I am excited about the year ahead! My hopes are to update the blog more frequently and send out e-mail alerts when a new post is available.
