Still amidst the upcoming winter weather forecasts, we are "thinking spring" in room 25. With the relaxing thoughts of sunshine comes the exciting thoughts of SOLs. We have really "turned on the heat" in the past few weeks as students have gained much more independence and expectations as they are now closer to being a fourth grader than a second grader! Practicing vocabulary with newly learned vocabulary games, multiplication speed tests, I-time sheets and Reader's Notebooks are just a few of the new responsibilities this second semester has brought upon the students. I am SO PROUD of everyone's efforts, and the improvements and growth I am observing is incredible. Keep up the wonderful work both at home and school, and SOLs will be sure to not "spring" upon us without warning! :)
