Busy Monday!

We dove back into the week!

We've had a rearrangement in our teaching situation. Michelle's duties in her special education role have amped up in the last few weeks, and because of that, Amy is now teaching all skills groups! It's a very exciting change, and although Michelle is very sad to have had to step down, Amy is super happy to be able to teach first grade skills through the rest of the year.

The organic squirrels are starting a new unit, all surrounding bossy r. Their new book is The Green Fern Zoo.

The Zesty Wombats are also nearly done with their unit. They're working on tricky y and a few new spellings for the /aw/ sound.

The screaming mustaches and ice dragons are finishing up Frindle this week.

Because of this change in skills, we've also started a new writing project. The kids are going to be writing blogs! They've picked a topic and have starts brainstorming posts they can do. They'll be working on writing a lot, but also a lot of other skills, including more on the technology side. I'll be sending more information about this home tomorrow.

Even though there are a lot of changes, everyone seems to be very positive about everything. They're loving the blog idea, and our first day of skills together was a blast!
