Writing Workshop: Our class has been hard at work on our personal narratives. Each child has chosen their favorite story that they have written so far this year. They learned how to revise and edit the text. Now we are busy publishing. Students are typing their stories, adding craft, illustrating and creating covers. This is an exciting process and a lot of fun!

Measuring the Fun!: In math, we have been working on measuring and place value. Our work has been connected to the story Jack and the Beanstalk. Our class has been measuring giant beans and the perimeter of Jack's garden bed. This week we made our own number lines or measuring tapes to measure items in the classroom.
