1-Common Core- Last year, my school began integrating common core in small bits. This year, we have dove in with all of our might! We had another training yesterday and I still have a headache. My mind is spinning around those two words. "common" and "core".
2-100th Day Of School- What a fun day!! Only 79 days left..
3-Winter Weather Package- First Grade Carousel is hosting a Winter Wonderland Exchange. My class wrote a letter and made a craft about our winter. I mailed our package to her today. She will mail us a package from someone across the country. Click on the link and join the exchange. Deadline is January 25th.
4. Due to icy weather conditions, we had two 60% days this week. I enjoyed going home early and catching an episode of Maury!
5. Bully Bash- Students are rewarded each nine weeks for good behavior. If they complete classwork and have no office referrals, they are rewarded with a fun activity. Today's reward was Madagascar 3. While most of my students were out of the room, I got a lot of things accomplished. I actually tackled "that" stack of papers!

Hi Christy! We are also training in common core, crazy! But, I am excited to know we are making sure our students can compete globally. I am also a K/1 looper! I will CRY my eyes out when they leave me! ;(
