Busy Week!

It has been a busy week with the Ronald McDonald bullying prevention program, Leah from the Kendallville library visited with the class and did some fun experiments with sound, and we had our first class store!  The class was able to spend their money that was earned for earning Class Dojo points for positive classroom behavior!

Reading

The class is working on character traits and comparing and contrasting the setting, characters, theme, and plot in stories!

Fables

The class is working hard on revising, editing, and publishing fables!  Each fable teaches a valuable moral or lesson!! Very creative!
