    Our 2nd week was a lot of fun. We did many things together. The best part of the week was receiving our Writer's Notebooks and decorating them to reflect ourselves.  We also played a math game called, "Go For Broke" it was a lot of fun and got us ready to think about Math.  We did a science experiment called, "Squeeze Please."  It was a blast, even though Mrs. Cervone kept getting upset that we couldn't stop squeezing each others hands and laughing.  4th grade has been a lot of fun and we hope it continues:)

    We had a very successful first week of school, despite having to close school for a day for Hurricane Fay. I have to admit, I was a little sad when I saw my children from last year.  I missed them very much this summer and hate that I won't be their teacher, but  I couldn't be happier with my new class, they are full of personality.  This week was busy one, but we accomplished a lot.  We developed our class "community agreements" and read a few favorite books to help us build our community.  We read "Cookies", "The O.K. Book" and our favorite, "Do Unto Otters."  We also learned about real reading vs. fake reading.  The children enjoyed the ice cream sundae analogy and are excited to begin building their own "real reading sundaes" as they continue on their reading journey.
    Beginning next week, two children will be assigned as the class bloggers.  Their job will be to keep track of our class happenings and to post an entry to our class blog for others to comment on.

    Thank you for a great first week.
    Mrs. Cervone
