Hello!  Here is a short video clip of some of the things we are working on this week.  It's also celebrate New Directions Week!  In our class we are celebrating being the boss of our reading.  On Friday we are hoping to have a class celebration.  If you are willing to send in a snack for the class (sweet, salty, or healthy!) please send me a email.  They have been working really hard to take charge of their reading with their goal setting and word solving skills.   It will be fun to celebrate!
