Back to school and back to the routines.
We have some positive routines in our class.

Morning circle
In addition to regular free choice sharing, we shared our holiday reading. We reflected on how well did we stick to our plan and what were our favorite books we read.

Wordstudy
This started on Tuesday and did only regular, written and blind sort. Next week we will start on Monday again and also include the timed sort.
Mental math
No escape from it. We will pay a bit more focus to subtraction before we move n to multiplication.

Five Minute Friday
Today's word was Imagine. You can try it at home. Set a timer for 5 minutes and just write. We got a word list, a writing reflection, some writing prompts for future and some stories.

Closing circle
Finishing a day with a positive note leaves me smiling every day. To hear what the students like or accomplished shows their engagement and effort. Friday's comments about the classmates show appreciation. I did get a suggestion today to change our finishing chant and I hope that the students will help me with a new chant next week.
