Can't believe it's time to start planning for January already, can you??!!
Here are some of my favorite themes, lessons, and ideas I like to do for January.
First I start with New Year's and Snowmen....
The first few days we get back, we talked about our goals for the new year.
I like reading THIS book as our lesson starter.
We just wrote them on our "quick writes" paper.
I also have them do an old Scholastic News article and this cute little craft - which perfect for taking up time! lol. I just have them trace the hat, I will write the year in the middle, and then they have the freedom to decorate their hats however they want.
And since we were going to have Monday off for Martin Luther King Day, we talked about how it's okay to be different. I really like to focus on accepting everyone, not just people of other colors. Todd Parr's book is one of my favorites to talk about this.
The book class book we wrote comes from my January Class Books Set. My class loves writing class books. Take a look at this post to see more ideas for class books.
Another favorite activity we did comes from Christina, HERE. We read the book Snow Dream, and we focused on using clues... a lot of inferencing with this activity!
We also used the Snowmen Books to help us with our writing that week. After we read a few of the books, we brainstormed ideas on what they could do with their snowman. Then, we did the planning page and wrote it out as a paragraph.
I really want them to start focusing on topic, details, and closing, so I had them use a crayon to underline their topic (green), details (highlighting the transition words in yellow), and closing (red).
After they finished their writing and illustrating, they did the snowman craft to go along with it. It's a non-tracer craft. They are getting so good with those!
That was the first week.
Our 2nd week back, we move on to Penguins... We reviewed prepositions (with my stellar chart anchor chart that I forgot to take a picture of, but it was something like my Turkey Preposition chart HERE),
then they did their Penguin Adventure book.
It's a freebie! :)

Also - every theme we always start with making our folder for it. We make a header for the folder and then they do a directed drawing for the cover. I always love how different they turn out!
They really make it their own!
The first week, we focus on Tacky!
We did some summarizing. The kids said that they thought "Then" worked better, the way we were wording the summary, so we changed it on the form. Sure! Why not? Right?
They took the planning page and turned it into a paragraph writing.
We also compared Tacky to his friends and did a cute craft to go with it!
After reading a few of the books, we did a little character analyzing....
Next week, we'll still be doing penguins, but we're moving to nonfiction!
The kids will be doing their own research on PebbleGo and creating their own book!
I always love watching their first research book come together!
Here's a preview of what's included in the Learning with Penguins unit.
Sometimes, depending on where we're at in our technology skills, I have them do a Google Slide on their penguin research.

And finally, if we have time in our month - or at least an extra week, we do a unit on Predator and Prey in the arctic. I use an OLD Scholastic News for this and some ReadWorks articles - and the kids LOVE it. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiTu5V9RvC2JyIS-4mjG62gWVzKY3aTiBWIyYEEUpKGlmD3Yl84NW6doSxSzxSF-yC7MB2hxMB1LP0-MUaYaKm6tGnxRds4vtzaFscJC_gPTXjpeifM9HCluh9pl3ybWxf8RAsQJTldEYj8qYmHAXtD9PzcEkTC6Ryv7xuMifzLK2q2mAcdxJX9rkEy=w640-h480)

RETRIEVAL OF LOST MONEY FROM FRAUDSTER.
How To Recover Cryptocurrency, Binary Option & Fake Investments funds Before engaging in any of these Bitcoin investing websites with your hard-earned money, I advise beginner bitcoin investors to conduct due diligence. By promising to make huge earnings, they win your trust and get you to invest more. However, as soon as you make a sizable investment, they purposefully lock your account and demand additional payments before releasing your winnings. I lost $178,000 in cryptocurrency that I had invested with a fraudulent organization, this was almost all of my savings. a particular thank you to Devoted Hacker Services, whose recovery company worked really hard to get my money returned. Devoted Hackers Service can be contacted if you ever find yourself in a situation like this. Contact them via Email (devotedhacker@gmail.com) Or +1 484–801–0969 For Binary Recovery Credit Repair Social Media Hack and Stolen Funds.
Do not invest in any trading platform, there is nothing such as get rich quick, it doesn't always end well. I was also a victim to this kind of scam. An Asian girl introduced me to ibitminers and i got really deep into their shit and all i can say is these scammers are good at what they do. I was allowed to withdraw a little amount which i believed was to build my trust but they sucked me dry and i never got my capital after all was said and done. I lost a ton of asset and when i reported to local authorities i was told since crypto is untraceable, there is nothing they can do about it. I couldn't get any help from them until i contracted the service of a professional ethical hacker. He hacked into the eth wallet address i made payment to and retrieved my stolen crypto and he showed me the transaction history of these scammers, I was in shock.

The need for more legitimate hacking companies are rising each passing day because of the magnitude of scams being run on the Internet. I know what I went through before I was able to contact Osecybersailing to work on my case after getting scammed multiple times and trying to retrieve back my lost investment funds. After I have invested $670k usd with a fraudulent crypto investment company and i lost everything in the space of one month and got scammed again and again trying to find a solution which wasn't easy to come by given the circumstances that brought about the incident, getting scammed multiple times is never a good experience for anyone involved which was what exactly happened to me when I got scammed investing into crypto currency. Many posing on the Internet as hacking companies aren't really what they are because most of them are scammers waiting for a prey to devour, I got referred to reach out to Osecybersailing through a friend and after I investigated about their legitimacy I came across many of their testimony from their satisfied clients that got their lost investment funds retrieved working with this legitimate and evergreen hacking institute which also changed my story helping me retrieve back my lost investment funds. Many of the testimony really were saying great and worthy things about how the company saved them from financial loss, I decided to hire them after many consideration and they didn't disappoint me by making the choice of choosing them after what I have experienced lately trying to get my funds back from the scammers. They proved they can be trusted with the recovery of lost investment funds which is why I wrote this down for other victims of scam who wishes to ever retrieve back their lost investment funds to let Osecybersailing solve their case, they're worthy and has what it takes to restore back your funds and peace of mind. If you also wish to check your partner Whatsapp conversation to know if he/she is cheating then Osecybersailing is the best team for you.
If you find yourself lost in the depths of lost Bitcoin, facebook and Whatsapp hacking to catch your cheating partner, let Osecybersailing's team guide you towards the light of redemption.
