Peek at the Week of March 19-23

Spring officially begins this week!  We have been enjoying the nice weather.  Your child may bring in a water bottle to refill during the day at school....all of our work makes us thirsty!

Reading Workshop:  Last week we worked on an animal research project with a small group.  Each group read about an animal, made a poster listing body features, gave some 'fast facts' and then made up questions for a game called "Stump the Class".  It was a wonderful project!

Writing Workshop:  We continue to write All About ______ books.  It turns out that we have many experts in our class.  Writing these books has been a great way to show our knowledge on topics such as:  hockey, cruise ships, cupcakes, holidays, seasons and desserts.  Each child will select their best/favorite All About book to publish in the next week or two.
