Math and Measuring!




We have been measuring everything in our way! So far we've just been talking about inches using both a straight-edge and a measuring tape. If you need anything measured around the house, you have your very own expert!

Writer's Workshop



We have been writing so much; soon we'll be begging parents to come help publish some of our writing! It's exciting to watch the kids using references around the room for their writing drafts.

Our Star!




Now we know that Ryan has a really nice sister and his favorite book to read is the Sneetches and favorite sport to play is soccer. Although he has a few trophies from baseball too! If you would like to take Ryan out to dinner, Big Boys is his choice!
We can remember all of this thanks to our recorder, Emma Stempien. Great job Emma!
