Rain brings students sequestered inside. This is the final week of school in 2012. We are pursuing academic knowledge even though visions of sugarplums dance in our heads. A happy holiday season to all and to all a goodbye! I'll be in Chicago visiting my sister, so my writings will not ramble away until after the first week in January.
Parent/teacher conferences are in full swing this week. In second grade we are starting to investigate more informational texts and beginning narrative writing. Our entire school is participating in writing objectives that include content, behavior, and assessment. Our students are receiving intense intervention to help them succeed. Soon our grade level will have a singing teacher. My students love songs! Soon it will be winter break. I know I am looking forward to spending time with family. For me it is Hanukkah to celebrate this week. But I wish all a Feliz Navidad, Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night. Oops that's Charles Dickens!
I wish more students had finished their haiku poems, but those whose works are on this site did an awesome job. Also, the students are highly motivated to use our class set of i-pads. What a wonderful world this is!
"Rain Rain..." by Ryfkah (Peggy Horwitz)
Rain is running down drains into seas, beyond. Trees draw wetness like teens sipping soda. Perhaps drought will disappear from spoken word, Another fractal of hope as if a divine finger caresses. |
