Highlights of the Week

Maine Author Kevin Hawkes tells us about how he gets ideas for books.

He shared his sketchbook with us, full of drawings and ideas for stories.

We loved it when he drew for us and showed us how to make shadows!

One of our classmates go to make random lines for him.....

and then he turned it into a character before our eyes!

Hula Hoop Rock Paper Scissors at Field Day

A fierce game of tug of war.  Pols vs. Vise!


The bouncy house is a HUGE hit with the kids!




And the parachute is another favorite!


We played Octopus!  These kids are hard to catch, trust me!

A little Duck, Duck Goose for a much needed break

We ended with water relays!





Back in class, ready for a reading break.....


This week we worked hard on our owl research.

We took notes from common texts and used the notes to write our reports.

We practiced owl drawings several times using a step by step drawing guide.

Putting the final product together





Several drafts of owl drawings on one page

Everyone writes their own report.

Research, research, research!  The kids will now be ready to research a bird of their choice for their individual project.
