Well, after a month of inactivity our classroom blog is back in action. I have so many things to post I might not catch up before the new year! First of all I had a fantastic time in Hawaii. I almost decided the school system there needed me permanently! We had beautiful weather and it was hard to return to winter.
The water, the mountains, the sunsets... it was all beautiful! I sent postcards to everyone, I hope they all made it back to the mainland. If you didn't get one let me know, I brought a few back just in case.
When I returned we checked out books from the library to share about Hawaii and volcanoes. I didn't see much lava, but I was able to climb to 13,796ft and summit Mauna Kea, Hawaii's tallest peak. That makes the seventh state high point I have reached.
I love to travel and I had a great time, however, I have fallen behind with grading. Progress reports are going home this week to students that are still working toward grade level. If your child is on grade level at this time, and I have no concerns about their progress they will not be getting a progress report this quarter. Report cards come up shortly after the winter break.
Hi, Mrs. Barr and her classroom! I'm honored to have my book on your favorite fall books list! It's one of my favorite poetry books I have written, and I'm so glad y'all liked it. (You can see a couple classroom writing activities here: http://www.laurasalas.com/poetry/poetry%20books/fall.html)
