Here's to a great 2008!

I hope that you all had a nice new year. I can hardly believe that 2007 is over, but I guess I think that every year. We accomplished some important things in '07. We read 4 novels as a class. Most of you read many more when you think about what you finished doing Just Read and SSR. We improved our multiplication and division skills. And, we became a community and a team. I'm really looking forward to continuing to achieve great things in '08. We're going to take those multiplication and division skills and continue to apply them to geometry and fractions. I have picked out some great books to read for both guided reading and read-aloud. I'm looking forward to sharing one of my favorites, Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key, when we return from vacation. We're also going to publish some free writes and continue to improve our writing skills.

I'd also like to make a few resolutions. My first is to keep my desk more organized. My second is to keep learning fun and meaningful. I'd love to hear if you have any resolutions for the upcoming year. These are tasks that you want to accomplish to help you feel better. I'm very excited about getting back to school and starting a new calendar year! See you soon!
