01/08 – 01/11

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a nice break and were able to relax and have some good family time. I love that the New Year starts in the middle of a school year. It allows us to stop and reflect on the first part of the year and think about what went well, and then look ahead and decide what we can do even better. It is a fresh slate! I am eager to hear the student’s ideas and goals for this new year.

We are starting the year off with an Artist in Residence. She will come to our classroom 4 times over the next two weeks to teach us about glass fusion. I am super excited and hope the kids will be as well! She will be here from 9:45-10:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I might need a couple of volunteers on the day that we make our glass designs. The artist will let me know tomorrow which day that will be.

Our award winning book talks are also due this week. I would love to invite you to come and listen to book talks when your child is presenting. They will sign up tomorrow for one of the following days. If none of these times work for you and you would like to come and listen just send me an email or message on ClassDojo and we should be able to find a better time. As for now, here are the times that I have designated for book talks:

Monday (1/14) starting at 11:00

Tuesday (1/15) starting at 1:05

Wednesday (1/15) starting at 1:05

Thursday (1/17) starting at 9:20 ****This spot is for only 3 students****

I am so excited to see everyone tomorrow!
