Lots of fun with David Biedrzycki!

We had a wonderful time with author, David Biedrzycki!  He showed us lots of his books, how he drew the characters, how he came up with the ideas, his journal that he writes his ideas in, and one of his books that isn't even in stores yet!  He made the kids laugh and told them about how a book is made and a few "secrets" to look for in some books.....like in Bear Alert there is a hidden bear paw on each page!

How cool is it that he lives in Medfield!  I have many of his books in our class, but think I may go to Park Street Books to get a few more!

April news

We have been super busy!  Our math skills are growing by the day!  We kept track of our "lion and lamb" days....unfortunately we had WAY too many lion days!

We've been working on our addition skills and playing a lot of partner games to help us.

We've been talking about attributes and played "Attribute Dominoes" with a partner!

We've also been graphing spring pictures and practicing our number writing and counting on!

And of course we always love using the iPad!  "Sushi Monster" helps us with addition in a fun way!

We've also been working hard on our reading skills!  The RAH RAH books keep coming back and the kids really seem to enjoy borrowing them.  You may notice the kids are doing more writing and are getting very good at it!

Please remember to send your child's report card envelopes back so I can recycle them for June!

April 7th local Medfield author and illustrator David Biedrzycki will be visiting us, we are looking forward to his visit!
