The Last Couple of Weeks

In Reading Workshop we do both private reading and reading with partners.  We've been reading a lot of nonfiction books.  When we read with partners, we sit side by side, we hold the book in the middle, and we reread to learn more.

Last week we got to take a couple of hikes in the woods.  We had our taste test test in the woods too.  Pears- everyone loved them!

We collected some things on our hike and made a leaf man project, modeled after the book Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert.

 

Yesterday we got together with our 5th grade buddies to pick some beans.  We ate some of them and took the beans out of some of them.  The 5th graders will sell bean seeds in the spring to help pay for their trip to Boston.
