Crazy Few Days

We have had a crazy few days here at school. The storm was a little bit stronger than I think we all anticipated. Lightning hit a transformer so we were without power for over a day!!  However, the kids were AWESOME. We even had our science lesson under the emergency light. We all came and sat by the door, I handed out clipboards for the science paper, and we had our discussions about what scientists do.  We played a math doubles game with a partner.  Today we still did not have power, but the kids were all troopers. We practiced read to self. We learned that in order to read with a partner you have to sit EEKK - Elbow, Elbow, Knee, Knee. We practiced with our reading story for the week - Arthur's Reading Race.  Students enjoy reading with a partner - first, who doesn't like to read with a friend?, second - we get to ask each other questions about what we read, and last - we get to hear fluent reading. We will be working on our third daily five choice  - work on writing  - this week. We will all be glad to go to school tomorrow and get back to normal.
