Exclamation Points
We have been working on sequencing and retelling stories. Last week during our Writing Club children sequenced and wrote a story about how to make a snowman. During the mini lesson at the beginning of Writing Club we worked together as a whole class to model writing the story. H provided the first sentence: "First make one snowball." She said that sentence should end with a period. M provided the next sentence: "Next make two snowballs!" He said that sentence should end with an exclamation point because "when you get to two snowballs it's way more exciting!" :-)

Greetings from NASA.
I agree that the second snowball makes things so much more exciting...hmmm, maybe it's because the first one was likely tossed at you...making the second one means that "The snowball fight is on!"
I think you all deserve a very fun holiday after all this hard work...Mrs. Sero too!
While you are home for the holiday, maybe you would like to do some star gazing. Here is one of our favorite websites at NASA in West Virginia...every morning we check on the weather and every evening we check out the stars. http://stardate.org/nightsky/
By the way..."Katigram" is Mrs. Sero's Mom/Annabelle's grandma. She lives in West Virginia and works for NASA. :-)
