Art & Bookmarks

We are in the process of making another poster.
This time we are filling our paper with flowers using tissue paper.
They are going to be bright and colorful. Maybe Spring will decide to come back.
We created bookmarks for the bookmark contest today in Library.

Wonderful Wednesday

A big shout out to CC and his mom for supplying us with the Monkey Moment treats.
We all loved the Snicker doodle cookies, thank you.

GP got glasses! Oh so cute.

Today was our day to partner read.

I love to walk around and listen to each pair work so well together.


They are so engaged in the story that they don't even notice me taking pictures.

Snowmen & New itouch

We are working on our writing with a focus on our readers.
We want to capture you and hold on to you as we tell our stories.
Here AB is recording his story to share with us on our new itouch.
CC recording his story.
During reading we learned how to make a digital book using the "Story Kit" app.
Students are using the built in camera to illustrate their stories they will type and record themselves reading their books.
Then their book will be stored on each of the itouches for others to view.
CC putting on the finishing touches of his snowman.
I will send this art project home on Friday.
