The Great Mouse Plot

Yesterday we began reading selections Boy: Tales of Childhood by Roald Dahl.  Some of you may know this famous author, as he has written many other popular stories like James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and MORE!

We are reading this book to help us understand PERSONAL NARRATIVES.  Personal narratives are TRUE stories that we write about our own lives.  Boy: Tales of Childhood is Roald Dahl's autobiography (book he wrote about himself).  Check this book out from your local library to read the whole book!

Me on the Map

Today, we have been working on our "Me on the Maps" books.  We have learned that SOME maps need a map key/legend and that maps are drawn from a "bird's eye view."

September 17th Learning

Today we had a visit from local farmers through a program known as "Slow Foods."  Slow food is food made from scratch, meaning you use natural ingredients.

Today we learned about the process of growing green beans and we also cooked some with olive oil and salt.
