Happy Wednesday!

This morning we practiced writing uppercase G using the language "big curve, little line, little line."  We also had a mystery reader who read The Ninjabread Man.  We will be reading more gingerbread books in a few weeks so this was a great introduction.  To end Reader's Workshop I read Time to Sleep by Denise Fleming and we discussed what changes we have noticed outside.  Students said they noticed that it is cold, very windy, snowy and that animals are starting to go into their homes.  I explained that animals adapt, migrate or hibernate during the cold months and over the next few weeks we will be reading more about animals in winter.

We also watched some silly videos from http://pigeonpresents.com/ and chose a video to share with the school at Friday's Community Meeting along with our work.
