Last week when we read Wangari's Trees of Peace the class was really interested in life in Kenya. Mrs. Woodard helped us find some books about Kenya so we've been reading about this country and how life there is the same and different from our lives here in Vermont. We've been reading A New True Book: Kenya by Karen Jacobsen.
Our writers have begun the process of wrapping up their report writing. Many wrote introductions, conclusions, and edited their final piece so it's ready for publication! Next week we'll begin editing and illustrating!!
It is shocking to me how quickly this year is ending. Please remember that we have our field trip to the Montshire this upcoming Tuesday. We are leaving right away to maximize time there so please be on time! Also if your child wants to purchase something from the gift shop while we're there, there is a $5.00 limit for what they can get (since it's a school trip). There is no requirement to send money to buy anything from the gift store but if you choose to please only send $5.00.
Have a great long weekend!
