Today, after Morning Work Time and Morning Meeting, we opened three Flat Stanley packages that arrived - one for Ryan E. from New Jersey, one for Sean from Chicago, and one for Anthony from several places. After Flat Stanley, we had Writer's Workshop. Today I taught a mini-lesson about sequencing - making sure that the kids' stories go in (roughly) chronological order. It's a topic that we will return to in the comign days, certainly.

After Writer's Workshop, we headed up to the Media Center for our time there with Mrs. Hennen. When we got back down to our classroom, we had our reading guest, Ms. Barb back again. She read two books, both by Eve Bunting: The Memory String and I Have an Olive Tree.

When we finished with the reading, it was time to pack up and head home.
