Monday, December 7 was really a rewarding day. All of my students came to class prepared for learning ,and were focused throughout insructional period. They were instructed to use some adjectives to describe their weekend. In our class we do not use the word "good". My first and second graders came up with the following words: terrific, super duper cool, amazing and awesome. I was quite elated as I stood in awe and watched how enthusiastic all of my students were towards learning. Later my first graders worked extremely diligently on their "Snowmen Project" involving counting backwards by twos and 5s. Their finished products were superb What a fabulous Monday!!!!!!!!!!!
