Welcome Back!

I cannot believe we are already in the second semester of the year!  Our winter break was fabulous!  It was my first Christmas with my new husband, and we had the best time with friends and family.  We finished up our holiday with a surprise trip to New York City!  We walked basically the entire city, saw The Rockettes and Jersey Boys (LOVED Jersey Boys!), went to the new C Wonder store (Tory Burch's ex-husbands store) in SoHo, and my favorite part of all... we toured the Today Show with one of our good friends who is a Producer for Matt Lauer!  Here we are as the new co-hosts!

Now back to school-

We have had a wonderful week back to school.  We are enjoying the always fun character, Pete the Cat!  The children have just loved his books.  We have been making text to self connections, looking for adjectives to describe Pete, and learning to be a good sport like Pete.  Tomorrow we will make our own version of Pete the Cat and write a little story about what shoes we would want Pete to wear.  I've heard there is a NEW Pete the Cat book coming out in May!  Can't wait!

 

We are also working with antonyms and winter writing.  I am so pleased with the student's winter writing.

Happy New Year!
