Weekly Update

This morning we had a special guest, Justin Matott, come in and share with us some of his new book ideas and what he does when he goes through the process of creating a book.   The kids all really enjoyed his stories and his great animated personality.  

This week we are working intently on our dinosaur unit.  We have learned many things over this unit about dinosaurs: what they look like and why, what are the main two types, are they carnivors or herbivors, how they behave, how big they are and when they lived.   This week we will be learning about some specific dinosaurs.   We will be sorting them according to their type and talking about what they do, eat, look like and size.   Next Monday we will be having our end of unit test on Dinosaurs.    Stay tuned for the study sheet for the test and study cards by the end of the week.  

In class this week we will be spending most of our time with our Dinosaur unit.   We have been watching a great documentary on dinosaurs and learning way more than Mrs. Huey alone could show or teach us.   We will also be doing some fun wrap up activities this week and next.    It's nice to have some time to relax and learn instead of going from one place to another : )
