Can you believe it? There is snow in the forecast!!! This winter reminds me years gone by. I bet I'm one of the few that truly loves the snow. Our world has changed from winter gray many times this year to a snowy-white winter wonderland.
Our classroom has been all heated up despite the cold temperatures outdoors. We have been reading adventure stories with the tall tale "John Henry" and this week's "Marvin of the Great Woods". In addition to our reading we have been discussing our recent Winter Olympics. The boys have been working on a bulletin board that sums up this year's event. We're making newspaper front pages packed full of Olympic information. In addition we have read about the history of the Olympics, Olympic symbols, our USA athletes, and even the mascots. Our athletes certainly did a fine job in Sochi. The class favorites are snowboarding, luge, skeleton, and bobsledding. Shaun White is still their favorite athlete, even though he did not come home with a medal this year.
Our grammar class has been busy working on plural and possessive nouns. Next week we will be on to verbs!
Spelling Words for the week of March 3rd include: there, said, about, would, little, through, don't important, picture, since, across, however, knew, young sun, thing, whole, hear, happened, opened, stopped, slipping, brand, bridles, calves, corral, herd, initials, manes, and reins
This week's list includes fourteen new words and the rest we have covered many times.
Have a great week! Remember this week is also OPTIMISM week! Remember to say to yourself when things get challenging "I can do it!"
