I want to wish all of you a very Happy New Year!!! I am thrilled to be back this past week and was so anxious to see the kids again! I had quite an ordeal this past few weeks, not at all what I expected when I went to the ER with what I thought was a terrible flu. After 10 days in the hospital, it was determined I had an infection caused by an antibiotic I had taken in the late fall and a kidney stone that also caused an infection. Between the two things, I had no good bacteria in my body at all! Needless to say it took quite a while to get this ole body back to normal. I still need to have the kidney stone removed this coming Thursday and then I will be good to go!!!! I want to thank all of you for the well wishes and cards. They certainly made me smile during a pretty tough time. Christmas came and went at our house. I still wasn't up to eating much, but I am now on the mend and like I said, I am sooooo happy to be back!!!!
Our blog will be back up and written by the students soon....please check back....

Special Scoop
Learn Not to Burn came to see us again. She told us all about fire hazards. We watched a video about how to keep our houses safe! She will be back in February.
We also had an Army veteran talk about Veteran's Day and talk about his experiences. He talked about what it was like to be in the Army.
Mikey's mom came for Art Awareness and so did his gramma. We got to make paper vases.

Literacy
Mrs. G. is reading a memoir to us called Small Steps. It is really good so far. We have been listening to lots of picture book memoirs. We will be writing our own memoirs soon. We are getting really good at writing wonderful paragraphs!
We are working hard at finding evidence in our reading for our reading extended response questions. We need to find the evidence in our reading and use it when answering our questions. We will keep practicing that.
We have all been reading lots of cool books in our guided reading groups. Some have been fiction and some have been non-fiction. Some of us played a reading game called Read Between the Lines. We all played the Authors Purpose game.
In spelling this week we had a fun fall list of words. We drew pictures and wrote the words in sentences. It was fun to do.
Mrs. Lambert comes in two times a week and we think for a minute and write for three minutes and then we graph how many words we write. We try to beat our own goal each time she comes.

Social Studies
This unit is all about maps. We started with learning about road maps and finding things on maps. We each got our own maps. They were grid maps and we found things of interest in Chicago. We also found places in Illinois. We learned about a compass rose, cardinal directions and intermediate directions too. We studied lots of map keys and then we got to design our own maps. We are finishing them today! We took a map quiz too. Next week we are starting science again. We will be learning about matter.

special scoop
This week was spooky .It started with Miss Shield from the police department. She talked to us about safety tips like what to do when we are home alone. There are also new stuffed spooky animals on the counter like a pummpkin and a witch! Our door had a big spider web that says "WELCOME TO OUR WEB" on it. Then we all have little spiders with our names on them.
