We have continued to share about ourselves through our writing this week. I like... I can...
We were so excited to look at our books that we got from the Book Fair this week!
In our Math center, many loved working together to see if they could build the tallest tower. Then, they had to see how many cubes high their tower measured.
We have been doing an Authors Study on Todd Parr. His books pair so well with our current planner. We are loving the stories and how they all have such a positive message about being yourself, loving each other and the world!
We had fun learning about pumpkins this week! We learned all about their life cycle and then did our own experiment. We are going to try and see if we can get our pumpkin to sprout!
On Friday afternoon, our 4th Grade Reading Buddies came and we read and also made a fun snack together (Pumpkin Fluff)! It was fun to get to know each other a little more!
