Still Catching Up!

On Friday December 12, Nanette came in and surprised our class with the story "A Christmas Carol." Nanette is a family friend of Kenzie's. Kenzie was so surprised to have another mystery reader come in that she knew. Remember, our class is always the new mystery reader to be you--so sign up today!


Jared was our student of the month for December. He tried his best on every assignment and is always kind to his neighbors. Way to go Jared!




Our class had some new author's over the past few weeks. We have had eight students share their stories. I will post some now and some later this weekend so check back soon!

Catching Up!

I hope that everyone had a nice Christmas and is enjoying the new year. Thank you for being patient with me getting the latest activities and news posted to our blog. I was without a computer that would read the flip videos and when I could get a flip video to post, it would take over an hour. I now have a new computer that will read the videos, allow me to edit them, share them with the class, and it will post the videos to our blog in no time at all. In the midst of everything going on, my family bought a new home and moved. Things have been crazy and I have been on autopilot. I am looking forward to settling in to my new home and getting everything back on track.

I have a lot of catching up to do. Our room has been very busy with 2 new students of the month, Mystery Readers, and many up and coming authors.

Where to begin...

Our Student of the Month for November was Jazer. Jazer worked extremely hard at his handwriting and being a good citizen. I am so proud of his efforts! Way to go Jazer!




Our authors on Friday, December 12 were Jared and Rylee. Let's give them a round of applause. They wrote and illustrated a story about what they like.
