Last night I watched the Oscars, I thought the women and men looked amazing.  Did you watch the Oscars and what did you enjoy about it?  Today we met in reading groups and discussed our informational texts and took notes on article two.  Then we started publishing our persuasive letters to Mrs. Lucas and other staff members to either change or keep something.  We then moved into math and reviewed double digit addition and subtracting without regrouping.  We start working double digit with regrouping.  We continued our day with making a list of words that have the ant sound in them and also words which have pose as a root word.  We had a fantastic day filled with tons of learning, and tomorrow is library day.  I look forward to library day because Mrs. Wallingford has great lessons.

Where do I start, hmmmm!  Well the students arrived ready to learn.  We had a great day as they stayed and played.  We learned a lot right here on the spot, however, some may not have gotten the lesson on the dot.  I will be reteaching, but not while singing.  I hope they have listening ears tomorrow while the weekend comes near.  We did our reading and had some fun then we want outside to run.  After that we had to write till we got it just right.  Oh no not till right just enough to blow you out of sight.  We did our math and we were a little off the path.  We were having a ball until lunch gave us a call.  We filled our tummies with all the good delicious yummies.  Then back to the room we depart for social studies and the we went to art.  We ended our day with saying good bye and thank goodness no one left and cried.

What a day?  I thought all my students were back from their illness, but not just fifty minutes into our day did poor Reggie have to go home due to being sick.  We are sorry he could not stay we miss him.  Clara is back and we are glad she is well enough form being out sick for two weeks.  We began our day with reading and writing.  We had to try to get Ms. Wolfean to let us change one thing about reading workshop or keep it like it is.  I want to know what do you think about reading in our class and how do you think it is going for you this year?  Then we worked on math and continued to learn about double digit subtraction with regrouping.  Our schedule was changed due to third grade having to give a test.  How did you like having a different recess?

I enjoyed my day day off, I hope you did too?  We had a fantastic day discussing what we did over our break.  I loved hearing all the activities you and your child shared throughout your vacation.  Today we completed reading by another AWESOME visit from Mrs. Doyle.  She came in and read one of her favorite books and we got to see how her brain thinks about books.  We wrote a persuasive text trying to get Mrs. Lucas to change are lunch or keep it the same.  What was your feeling about our lunch time, do you like it where it is?  Then we moved into math and started double digit subtraction with regrouping.  After this we did our quick check on past and present.  I hope you all are relaxed less then 80 days till summer :(

Today was excellent we got lunch with Mike.  He came to say hello to the class and eat with us because he had the day off.  Yeah, it was special, I hope he can come again?  What did you think about him surprising you?  We did our spelling, reading groups and even completed a reading quiz.  Then we moved into math and started double digit subtracting with regrouping.  After that we voted on our favorite fourth grade commercial  Then it was time to go, WOW the day went by fast.  I heard this come out of one students mouth.  I must be doing something right if they thought it was fast and fun!!!!

'Twas the night before Valentines when all through the school, all the creatures were learning, and following the rules.  The teachers hung the valentines by the desks with care in hopes that cupid would soon be there. The students were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of candies and goodies danced in their heads; Ms. Wolfean in her PJ's and you in your cap, we all settled our brains for a long night nap, when all of the sudden our alarms did make us wake from all the clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.  Away to the kitchen I flew like a flash, tore open the creal then off I dashed. When what to my wondering eyes should appear, but my car ready for my dear.  With my driver so clean I knew in that moment it must be Ms. Wolfean.  More rapid then eagles she came and then called all of us by name.  Then we dash away, dash away, dash away, dash away all!  We came into school with a bound, we saw her dressed all cute from her head to her foot, we knew in that moment we were on the right route. A bundle of games and toys on our desks, we know at the end not to leave it in a wreck.  She spoke not a word but made us work, and we hope she would fill all valentine boxes, then she turned with a jerk, and laid her finger aside her nose and giving a nod out she came with a rose. After the party, and the team was all clean away the class went to their cars, bikes, and buses to the whistle, and away they all flew like a down of a thistle.  But I heard her exclaim as she drove out of sight Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and to all a good night!!!!!
