In Search Of...

Hi everyone and happy Monday!  I am looking to collect paper towel tubes for a math activity.  If you have any at home and would be willing to send them in it would be much appreciated!  Thank you.
                                          

Chinese New Year

We were so fortunate today to have Zoe and her Mom teach us about Chinese New Year! We listened to a story, watched a couple of videos, made a lantern, ate treats, and even received a special red envelope with a quarter inside (brings good fortune for the year)! Thank you so much Zoe and Mrs. Young!

Seesaw for Blogging

Fiction, Non-Fiction, and Narrative Non-Fiction

We have been exploring the differences between fiction and non-fiction. Right now we are concentrating on narrative non-fiction (books that teach facts through telling a true story). It can be hard to know the differences some times.

 

 

Four Winds

In Four Winds our class had an opportunity to learn about and explore pine cones. We even got to take one home!
