Eddie the Entomologist!!

Last Thursday we had a very special visitor! Eddie the Entomologist sent us letters throughout our unit on insects to help us learn about bugs. Thursday he came to personally deliver our official entomologist badges. He read Waiting for Wings, by Lois Ehlert and answered student questions. The kids were SOOOO excited! Thanks Eddie!!

Botanica Field Trip!

It was a beautiful day for adventure. We learned all about monarch butterflies. My students talked about migration and can even tell a male from a female butterfly! What an awesome learning experience!

Explorers!!

After Botanica we began getting up close and personal with our bugs as we caught insects for our upcoming bug museum.

My How Time Flies!

These last few weeks have flown by! We have been busy learning many new things in our Daily Five reading. Here are a few pics...

This is "Mr. Checkin," he helps us remember to check for understanding as we read. 

We talked about how to choose a "Good Fit" book! The kids cracked up at Miss Stucky's shoe choices! :)

Have your child explain and use the 5 finger rule to choose books! 

We are getting so close to reaching our Reading Stamina goal!! Yay!!
