Today was the kick off to Children's Book Week. We got to listen to a guest author read in the Learning Commons and we did drop everything and read time!
We also started learning about plants and their needs. We came up with a great big list of "I wonders" that we're hoping we can answer over the next few days as we begin to study plants.
In Math, we worked on the tower problem. We had to try and help a person escape from a tall tower by collecting spells from each room.

If you are able to contribute please contact your child's homeroom teacher. Thank you for your support!
