Back in Action

Sorry for the lack of posts this month, we have been extremely busy getting back in to our daily routines and finishing up 2nd Quarter Assessments!  However, this post is a quick snapshot of everything we've been up to over the past couple weeks!  I hope everyone is staying warm and having a great week!

Warming up our chilly windows with these adorable "stain-glass" mittens, made with sticking tissue paper on to contact paper!

My amazing students hard at work during our Fundations block!  

Practicing our sight words with some of our favorite sight word songs from youtube

Everyone has also been doing awesome during our Daily 5 Block!  It's like we never took 2 weeks off for the Holidays

We also have a bit of sad news, we had to say Goodbye to one of our classmates who is moving away.  However, to celebrate our friendships with him we had "Amayei Day" and made him going away cards and celebrated with cookies and juice!

 We'll miss our little buddy, but we know he'll meet lots of new friends at his new school!  Good Luck, Amayei!  Your Claxton Family loves you, keep in touch!
