Fast Post

Just a  quick post. Today is so wonderful I cannot resist going home and changing into shorts and taking the dogs for a hike!

A very productive and pleasant day, as usual. We did Independent Reading, worked on the Word Study and Vocabulary from Context for the next story in the OCR reader, and we worked in small groups with a rubric to evaluate the rough drafts of our “Bridge Dancers” sequel. We corrected and discussed our math homework from Friday, and we picked our choices for Literature Circles (more on that tomorrow). We practiced the songs from Gold Dust and we played kickball. Finally, we took the Quarter 2 Math Test.

Homework:  (1) Continue to work on the I-Search paper. The rough draft is due next Monday, February 9. (2) Do the final draft of the “Bridge Dancers” sequel. This should be in cursive. (3) Do the spelling jumble. The spelling words this week are long, but not really that hard. (4) Do the chapter reviews in Math, pages 306-307.

We like the image of happy teachers frolicking with their dogs. That means his students make him happy.

P.S. Your opening line is the perfect Facebook status update.

I had a nap. They had a long walk. We all had dinner. They're asleep. I should be, too. But a teacher's work is never done. Always some new torture to devise for children....
