Weeks 24 and 25 Update and Pictures

So much has happened in the last week and a half! This week we were lucky to have author and illustrator Tad Hills visit us, to share some of his stories, how he draws duck and goose, and answer some of his questions!  See blog for details and pictures.

Over the last couple of weeks, Aidah and I noticed our students interacting with a lot of our documentation from the year, as well as reading and presenting their favorite books to each other. Together, we brainstormed “book making” supplies and gathered them. Our new authors have had their creations added to our classroom library/book corner and shared their stories  with the class.

After our Empty Bowls experience in the art room with high school students helping us out, we have had a very big interest in exploring clay. The students used some of the new tools, but also found a variety of interesting objects in our makerspace, from around our classroom and from outside to use to interact with the clay.
