Spike, our bearded dragon, is really growing. We enjoy watching him change.

Off to a GREAT start in the New Year!

We are off to a great start in the new year. Due to high numbers I have made a schedule change with half of the second graders. I now serve 3rd grade and six 2nd graders on Mondays. Tuesdays I have 1st grade and six 2nd graders. There are no changes with 4th and 5th grades. This schedule is working great! My Monday and Wednesday groups are learning about "Pele's Peak". Towards the end of the unit I will send home a paper with instructions for each student to create their own volcano and bring in to school. My Tuesday group has started a unit called "Zoo". My Thursday group is finishing up our unit on the Middle Ages. We will start our unit on "Clipper" in the next couple of weeks. Students are also working on completing Media Festival projects that are due Feb. 1st. They are doing a great job!
