Winter break has come and gone and the kids are back into the swing of things.  My second graders are so excited to have finished their novel and we’ve had many great conversations about it.  The first graders ventured in to telling time on a clock.  It’s a very abstract idea, but they got the hang of it.  Of course they are still a little baffled as to how I could tell time on my watch even thought it had no numbers on it.  Last, but not least, the fourth graders who are so strong with their multiplication and divisions it’s wonderful.  They now are moving into the world of fractions and seem to be handling it very well.  Once again I can’t wait to see what next month will bring.
