Today, after Morning Work Time and Morning Meeting, we celebrated Nicholas' brithday.  We sang and played our instruments loudly, and then Nicholas' dad read two books:  Duck on a Bike, and Bear Wants More.  After the fun and excitement, we had Writer's Workshop.  The kids are doing some really nice writing - they are excited about it.
After writing, we headed up to the Media Center for class with Mrs. Hennen.  When we got back down to our room, we had reading - the kids changed the "just-right" books in their bookbags, and then read them.  The books are getting harder, but the kids are up for it!
After that, we couldn't resist going outside for a little recess.  After that, it was time to pack up and go home!
