Setting The Stage For Success

I really need to put more hours in a day. When someone finds the secret to doing that, let me know! Our school days are quite busy, even though we haven't had too many picture posts to keep everyone updated. The igloo is almost complete. The children encountered some "structural problems"  so they had to do some problem solving to complete the ice house! We have decided to have our own "Snow Day" next week since the North Carolina weather has just not co-operated. For the past two weeks we have been very involved in a "Harriet Tubman Unit" and attended a play at WSSU on Friday. We certainly enjoyed the "Freedom Train" performance. We will continue to read biographies and learn more about famous Americans in our literacy groups. Our class is also completing some global technology projects with other students. You can check out our projects here: Setting the Stage for Success Wiki and Winter Wonderland Wiki.

A few weeks ago we completed a mini unit on the Chinese New Year. Here's a picture of our lovely group in the masks they created! Don't you think they're beautiful?
