Happy New Year Part 2! on PhotoPeach

Happy New Year 2015! Our first week back was full of learning. We had several visits from our Reading Coach Mrs. Holtsman. Mrs. Holtsman read us a funny fractured fairy tale. She used her Cajun/French accent to entertain us. It was so funny! Later in the week she helped us understand the importance of using a rubric to make our writing better. She also gave us great tips during our Reading Workshop block. We are thinking like 3^rd graders. In Science we started the Weather unit. We did a fun lab using thermometers and had a great time observing the weather. Check out our slide show to peek into our first week of 2015! Enjoy!
