Man what a day, we had a great time getting back in touch with one another.  We had a fantastic time cleaning out our desk drawers, and changing seats.  We are now in a new year with a new attitude and a fresh start.  You might have seen a lot of papers come home, I sent all papers done or not home.  I decided lets start all over and begin on new feet.  I really missed all my little monkeys and wished we could have spent more time talking and sharing.  We will tomorrow because I forgot letting those who did their reindeer journals a chance to read them.  We will for sure read them and share their vacation time with me.  We started our day reviewing CAFE reading time and getting back in to reading mode.  Then we met with our friends about our books.  We also listened to Ms. Wolfean read The Gingerbread Baby by: Jan Brett.  She is our new author study, we are investigating her books to help us gain reading strategies.  We are working on comprehension.  We then moved on to writing and continued from where we left off working on our all about books.  Then we moved on to math and began our unit on fractions.  We discussed equal parts, whole, and equal share.  Please ask them what this means?  Then we were to share about Sage, we ran out of time.  We will do this tomorrow twice to make up for my memory lose and lack of time.  Please forgive me Sage?
