Shadows, Snowflakes and Smiles

On Wednesday we had some sun! After learning about shadows last week, we finally were able to take pictures of our shadows! Scroll slowly to see the shadow, then guess whose shadow, then see who made the shadow!

 Today we woke up to falling snow! It was beautiful! We got to come to school today (until we went home early at 12). We bundled up and went outside for a few quick minutes to take some snow pictures! They were so excited!

 During recess (indoor) I taught some students how to make snowflakes! It was so fun!

We had a fun day celebrating the snow with pictures, a poem, books, a movie, indoor recess and an early dismissal. We tried to make up for the fact that our winter program got cancelled for tonight. No worries, it will happen next Wednesday the 12th!

Our room is ready!

Since my last post I've been busy working to get our room ready. I've had a blast changing bulletin boards, organizing bookshelves, cleaning out closets and creating new spaces we will use. (Thanks to all the help from my family!) Take a look at our room:

I've also spent time with my amazing team teachers planning writing, themed units and so much more! We are so excited about all the learning that will take place this year.

I'm looking forward to meeting all of my students and their families tonight! See you all soon!
