I've been working to implement the Project Read story form training that self-contained teachers recently participated in. We will be working on defining and identifying parts of a story (currently working on characters and setting), characterization (what a character does and says), vocabulary, and learning how to summarize a story. We started with Goodnight, Gorilla. The kids are learning to use symbols to identify and mark the characters (people or animals that act out the story) and the setting (time and place of the story). This past week we started with the book Goldi Rocks and the Three Bears and will continue with some other parodies of the classic three bears story throughout January.
...and we're back! I feel like it took us a few days to get back into the swing of things, but we're here now! We welcomed our new student teacher, Rachel Lewandowski (Ms. Lew!) who will be with us for just ten weeks. She's working hard to learn our routines and getting to know all of your amazing kids!

Other January happenings have included the MLK day assembly, floor hockey season in PE class, and extra specials during lunch recess (some have attended crafts and legos so far!) Coming up in February, the 4th Wall Theater Company will be coming to Wines every Friday afternoon to play some theater games with the kids and help us learn a short play to present to all of you! Our production will be Friday, March 10 at the downtown library. I do not have the time yet, but will let you know as soon as I do. I hope that you will all be able to take a short break from your work schedules to join us!
