RECYCLING WINNERS

WE WON THE GOLDEN BIN.  Yay.  We recycled the most paper in the whole entire school this week.  That means we won the Golden Bin and we get to keep it in our room this week.  Great job.  I am so proud of you.

Pumpkins

Last week, we made two different pumpkin charts in class.  The kids first dictated different facts they already knew about pumpkins.  Then they drew pictures about what they knew.  We estimated how many seeds would be inside our medium sized pumpkin, cut it open, and found there were far more than we had guessed.

Three Billy Goats Gruff

On Monday, we learned that characters in a book can be people, animals, or objects that come to life.  We read Three Billy Goats Gruff and discussed the characters and setting.  Then we created the setting using popsicle sticks.

On Tuesday, Mrs. Cordon visited our class and taught us about characters and the different feelings that characters show in books.  She even brought a really neat chart to hang in our classroom so we can keep track of all of the characters we read about in fairy tales.
