December rushes by in a blink!

It struck me at the very beginning of last week that I missed blogging the weekend before! Apologies for the lag but I will pick up right where we left off.   Below you will see a glimpse of the students in the midst of "step 3" of our story writing process (use pictures and words to give your story a beginning, middle and end).  I hope you can get a sense of the concentration and perseverance that the children brought to this process.  Other important events from the week of 12/11-12/15 included our first session with Ms. Courcelle (tech integration specialist) and the chromebooks!  We've been working on our skills with the track pad- clicking and dragging!  (Some of the games we use to practice are linking to this blog on the right hand side- you can check them out).  Lastly you will see Mr. White reading a great non-fiction book about birds flying south that extended our learning about hibernation, migration and adaptation.  Check out the evented spelling on the white board behind him.
