Classroom Learning
We jumped right back in the swing of things today after our winter break, continuing to work on our persuasive writing. Before break, we had completed our rough draft. Today, we worked with a partner to peer revise our writing, checking for grammar and proper format. We also filled in a "praise, ponder, polish" for our peers, to identify areas of strength and some areas that might need more attention.  We will continue to work on revising and editing throughout this week, with our good copy due for next Wednesday, January 17th.

Midnight and Caramel 

Our gerbils spent the break with one of our classmates over winter break, and needless to say they were spoiled! It looks like Santa came to visit, as they received a new wooden house and a play area, as well as a new gerbil ball (which we are looking forward to using during our sharing circle this Friday!) We are very happy to have these two lovelies back in our classroom, and are grateful for the love, attention and care they received during the holidays.
