I am glad to see everyone again after the long break. Was is long enough for you to do everything you wanted to do? I know I could've used another day or two to get my Christmas decorating done. I know not everyone is getting ready for Christmas, some celebrate the holiday of Hannukah instead at this time of the year. If you are doing that instead, I was wondering if you could share a little bit about that holiday with me by leaving a comment.
I have created a new blog for the 4th grade students to use with grade level specific studies. I have attached a link to it.
Please add a comment to this blog or any of my previous ones. I wonder, "Does anyone read this?"

skype
Our skype lesson with a second grade class in Westbury, NY was amazing! The second graders made some really great riddles and pictures to go along with them.
When you are at an elementary school you are always ready to expect the unexpected. Something unexpected happened during our lesson. The other school had an unannounced fire drill and we were quickly staring at an empty classroom. It wasn't long though before the other students were back in their room, and we were able to finish our lesson.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Although I am still testing, I am excited that I will get away for a little bit to participate with Mrs. Stephens' class in a Skype lesson talking to other kids in New York! Both classes have read the book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Then they created riddles about food raining down from the sky for the other kids to guess! I can't wait!
