Baby is here!!

Hi families!

  So I do not know if everyone has heard but Mrs. Wright had her baby boy!  Owen Daniel Wright arrived yesterday afternoon!  He is adorable and Mrs. Wright is doing fantastic!  The kids were so excited to see the picture that she sent to us! 

  I do not know if the kids have told you that we are starting "clubs" in readers workshop.  I assigned groups of 3 students and they were able to decide their group name and the topic they will be reading about.  They will have a topic in their group and they will read about this topic all week and next week.  Then at the end of the week they will be able to make a group poster and present it to their class, if they want to. I am so excited about this and so are the kids.  Some of the group names are so funny it's great!

  Also next week I was talking to the students and we all decided next week that we are going to have a "Polar Express" theme.  If everything goes good during the week, then on Friday we will take some time and watch the movie the "Polar Express" and we will have a PJ day so they can have the full experience.  I will let you know how the week goes and what the plan for next Friday!

  I hope you all have a great day!
