This Week (September 4th, 6th)

We had a very fun week!
On Tuesday, we read the book "Eating the Alphabet".


Reading the book made us very hungry so we made Yummy Books with smelly fruit stickers.

On Thursday, read our sight words readers.  Then, we played a tasting game.  I gave students three tastes: 1. sweet 2. sour  3. sweet and sour.  It was funny to see the children's sour faces!

Here is a video of the tasting game!


Welcome!

Welcome to our blog!

I made this blog because I took many pictures and videos in class.  It's very easy to share them on a blog.  I hope you enjoy looking at them!
