Peek at My Week

It’s that time again! No snow for us this week. There was one tiny little flake there last week but it has vanished. We are in for a full week of snowmen and matter.

Here is my bookshelf for the week. Someone asked me if I let me kids take the books off the shelf and read them on their own and the answer is a resounding heck yes! I want kids to be able to get their hands on books. I don’t really have many “off limit” books because the whole point is to get kids to love to read! If they want to read/look at the book you just read them, my goodness do not hold them back!

The kids have started the January BUILD stations and are really kind of loving them. I am starting to work on February!

Last week, someone asked what R.W. stands for. It is shortened for Reader’s Work-shop. I sort of kind of didn’t get to it last week so we are going to try again this week 🙂

Here are the units that I’m using for the week. You can get them by clicking on the pictures. The snowman measuring activity is a freebie.
