The first nine weeks!!

The first nine weeks is almost over!  My class this year is challenging.  They are wonderful but not as special as last year's. I can't wait to finish decorating my room for Halloween and complete my Halloween centers.  Hopefully I will have time to post them this year!!  I'm happy it is so sunny in Florida but I miss Michigan and the atmosphere up north!  One of the things I'm doing this year in my room this year is portions of the daily five and it is working fabulously!  My munchkins are excited I pay such close attention to their writing.  They love to share their work with the class.  We just finished swimming and it was exceptional!  All of my munchkins this year swam!
