We continue to work on expository writing and also are working on opinion writing. I'm wondering if you are hearing these words at home, "In my opinion...". Hopefully when they say this they are also adding a reason for their opinion.

Recess has been going well. Thank you so much for supporting me with conversations you have had with your children about tag.

Much appreciation for those of you who supported our Read-a-Thon. If you haven't turned in your money yet, feel free to send it in.

We will have Valentine's Day related centers and the children will exchange valentines on Friday, February 12.
