During our transportation study, we each chose one kind of transportation to explore in more depth. As one of our projects, we created our mode of transportation out of clay. What budding artists we have!

Hawaii...we wish we could go back again! Not only did we do the limbo, fly in a plane, and do the hula, but we also wrote postcards home, "wrote the room" in Hawaii with flower pens, and read a Hawaii A-Z book. Aloha!
By reading books to other people, we become stronger readers. We still enjoy our monthly visits to the Annandale Care Center and loved our 2 Family Reading Nights this winter. Before spring break we had Pastries for Parents where we shared the How-To books we wrote ourselves as well as other favorite books in the classroom. Check out this slide show with pictures of our many reading opportunities. Thank you for helping us develop our reading skills!

Last month we met our at home Razzle Dazzle reading goal. To celebrate, we were invited to bring a stuffed animal to read with during a surprise "Stop, Drop, and Read" time. Take a peek at these smarties!

Each day we spend time making ourselves stronger readers and writers during smart shops. Today we used our camera to catch some of these smarties in action!

Last Thursday we took our first trip to the Annandale Assisted Living Care Center. We read our "just right" book basket books to our friends there. Wow, we were hard working, patient, and mature kinders while there. Here are some pictures of our visit.

Before winter break, we were busy with many fun holiday activities. We baked cookies, made holiday hats, went caroling around the school, and of course ate our gingerbread cookies! We then made a graph showing where we took our first bite - leg, arm, or head! Below is some live video of our fun days together.
