Week of November  2 and November 9

We started the school wide read of Abe's Honest Words and researched the Gettysburg Address.  In order to understand time we created a timeline the length of the hallway for students to add any facts that they learn throughout the study of this book and to add to it throughout the year.  We are beginning to make connections to other learning from the start of the year.

The class met their loop goal and we did an art project.  Students created a piece of art on tracing paper that they painted.  The paintings will be put in a clear plastic sheet and strung together to hang on the the windows like stain glass.  Students drew many different designs including their favorite book covers, scenes, names, and own creations. 

It was nice to meet many of the parents of our students the past two weeks creating a school home connection.
