January is almost history!

I feel like I could say this with every post, but where has the time gone? January is almost behind us and our plans for February are ready to go! We will be really busy for the next few months. 

During the month of February and March we will be participating in The Slice of Life writing challenge. The actual challenge takes place through the entire month of March, but we are going to start practicing in February to build our writing stamina. I love participating in this challenge and the kids do too. There will be more details about Slice of Life in the upcoming weeks. 

Also, in February and March we will be working on poetry. We will have some really fun lessons planned for this, and I can't wait to share them with the kids. We will also being reading two books in class: Love that Dog & Hate that Cat. These are really great books, and definitely a quick read. 

I am looking forward to reading the poems the kids will write over the next several weeks! I have a feeling this group is going to be really creative. :)
