Happy New Year!

We are back!!!  And, have been very busy already in room 1412.  We sent home information about our upcoming fieldtrip in students' folders last week.  We are very excited about our trip to the NC Museum of Natural Science!  We have also been very busy this week with our mid-year assessments!  However, we have still been able to sneak some fun writing activities in with our reading this week!  Monday we read Snowmen at Night by Caralyn Buehner. 

 This cute story tells what snowmen do at night while we are all asleep!  They do things like drink hot coco, have snowball fights, play baseball, and go sledding!  The kids loved it!  After reading the story we wrote about what we think our snowman would do at night if we built one!  The whole lesson and assignment turned out really cute! 

 

 

We also completed a cute project this week for our IB unit about maps!  We read Me on the Map by Joan Sweeny which is about a little girl who maps out her whole life starting in her bedroom, then her house, followed by her street, town, state, country, and finally planet. 

 After reading this cute book we mapped out our own lives and they turned out great, too!!!

 

I hope everyone has been having  a great week and staying nice and warm in these cold January temperatures!
