Our Class Moose
If you give a moose a STUDENT he'll more than likely HAVE A BLAST!!
Mystery Reader
The kids get so excited the week of a mystery reader. Each day is filled with excitement as they realize they are "in" or "out" of the running for the reader to be their mom or dad.
Library 2X2
Students voted on their favorite book for the Texas 2X2 and celebrated with a little party!
Elf on the "Classroom" Shelf!

Math
Math talk is a 5-10 spiral review talk. On this day we reviewed tally marks with popsicle sticks. "One, two, three, four, shut the door"
Writers Celebration
Students shared their "how-to" writing with others. Once they shared their writing, students wrote a thank you note.
Word Work
We often practice our word study words with letter tiles. Students first sort their tiles into ABC order and then I orally call out a word. We create word ladders as students change the beginning, middle, or ending letter to create a new word. "I want "big" to turn to "beg", what do you have to change?"
