I am so thankful for the great people at Belfor.  THey are the company who did the rennovation.  The room looks better now than it did before the water damage!  I did spend 16 hours putting everything back.  actually, i have a couple hours left, but at least i know where most of the stuff is.  Thank you all for your flexibility during the mess!

This is the month I hope to get our classroom back!  I am sure you have heard that our classroom, as well as many others in the district, is in disarray.  We have about 2/3 the space we usually do because our east wall was saturated with meltwater over the winter break.  We are  fortunate to be receiving a new wall so so won’t have any icky mold or other damage to deal with. 

We are also buckling down and really working!!  We have been writing, writing, writing!!  Revisiting fractions and learning about geometry. 

I keep hearing the kids exclaim that the day went by SO fast!  That is a good sign!

Here is a link I thought you might like.  It shows what may be expected in a 4th grade classroom.  It is from Schwab learing who is very involved in school reform and improvement.
