This week has flown by! I am hoping that the next two weeks before Christmas vacation will go just as quickly. We have a lot to do in the next few weeks, so I am sure it will! And.. because it is Friday, it is time to link up with Doodle Bugs Teaching!
We have been doing a lot of cooperative learning in class lately and the kids are loving it! It has really allowed me to work with more students, and I feel like my kids are learning even more as they explain what they are learning to their peers. They have loved both being the coach and the coached.
Love Notes - Don't you just love the little love notes your students leave you? This was at my desk this week.
I love birthdays in our class! I get to embarrass honor them with the lovely birthday hat and a smencil!
Our district purchased these National Geographic Ladders books, and the kids have been loving them - they love non-fiction! We learned about the 7 summits this week. I'm not sure I could make a trek up any of the mountains, but a few of my kiddos are sure they could!
It is also time for my Teachers Pay Teachers Giveaway! Each month I give away a $25 Gift Certificate for Teachers Pay Teachers just for following! Enter below!

I love your cooperative learning! I have several children who just jump in and coach a peer when I can't get around the room quickly enough! Have a great weekend!

Hi Kelly,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you commented on my blog post today because it brought me over to yours! Those National Geographic books look great- my students LOVE non fiction too, so I might just have to look into those texts. Just entered your giveaway too-- what a great idea!
Aylin :)

I love the little love note from your student. How cute!
