Nature

 

By Aaliyah

 

Nature is a part of the world.

Birds are noisy in the tree

When they are chirping in my ear.

I hear them sing pretty.

I taste honey from the hives

when the busy bees do not mind.

I touch lovely plants.

I smell pretty crocuses that have sprung

And I see nature run our way!

 

 

Where am I?

by Ronan

Where I am?

I see red and blue cars.

I see no trees. 

I see ten tall sky scrapers.

I hear black wheels.

Yes! I am in a city!

Finally a sign of Spring!

Don't do it Bentley!

Happy 100th Day of School!

We celebrated the 100th day of school by reading 100 books with our reading buddies!

Our class learned about characters so we can better understand what we read! We worked in cooperative groups on specific books from the author Kevin Henkes. His books about relationships and friends tied in very well with our Bucket Lesson Friendship Unit this month. We collaborated and then created these character posters and a photostory to culminate the character study. Check out our photostory on our class website!

We are learning about Fairy tales and Folk tales during our TAS time!
We read many versions of Cinderella from different cultures and compared/contrasted them.
