Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful holiday and all of my Room 114 friends had a fabulous vacation! We sure were busy the week before the holiday break! Take a look at just what we were up to below!
Gingerbread Fred had a fabulous time visiting your homes before vacation! Thank you so much for having him!
We continue to use a Touchview in our classroom to make learning fun, interactive and engaging!
Games put the fun in FUNdations!
The day before vacation was comfy and cozy in Room 114!
In Writer's Workshop before vacation we used our creativity and imagination to write about what we would do if we were stuck in a snow globe!
