January, Already?

I feel like I continually repeat myself, but I can not believe that it is January already! There is so much to do and so little time! The second grading period is nearly over, and before we know it PSSAs will be here! Then it is baseball season and summer... oh my! The snowstorm is on the way!
We have started blogging in the classroom. It is so much fun. Many of the students are catching on quickly and are enjoying commenting in their secret names!
We are reading novels about PA history this month and studying the Civil War and the times immediately following. I am looking forward to My Brother's Keeper and The Day It Rained Forever (a personal favorite). These books are usually enjoyed by all, and often I get responses from the parents as well. We will be blogging through these books, so feel free to ask your children to share their blogs with you often.
January snow... quiet, soft, and often a mixture of flurries... enjoy it while it lasts!

I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

I have discovered that blogging can be a great way to keep others up-to-date on what is going on in my classroom, but is also a great way to get insights from others. I have a few blogs that I follow personally, and always find myself led to leave comments that may provide insight, ideas, or encouragement to the posters. I encourage you, the reader, to do the same for me. As you read, post a comment and let me know what you think. If you don't want me to post it to my blog, just ask and I will respect your wishes. However, the more I hear from you, the more I am able to understand the thoughts of the readers. Looking forward to hearing from you!
