Welcome to the new year! We have been hard at work, already - no more breaks for us.  Below are two pictures of what we have been working on.  The first picture is an introduction to SWI based on the works of Peter Bowers. The second picture is our brain storming that we did prior to writing our Thursday's KidBlog post.  Thursdays are the 3 things I have learned this week, 2 things I liked about this week, and 1 question I have going forward post.  The student are writing a weekly review, but in a prescribed manner.
