Zoo Trip!

I want to thank your chaperone's for accompaning us on the trip to the zoo.  The weather was fantastic and the kids had a blast.  We enjoyed a quick lesson from a zoo staffer about some of the endangered animals and why they are endangered.  Here are a few pictures from our trip.



Our essential question this week is 'How do we use money?', this was a great follow up to our social studies.  We read about how money is made and why some people collect money.  In our little groups we read about being a smart shopper.

We have started to read the classic novel "Charlotte's Web"  along with the story Mrs. Wells is having the student complete some fun STEM activites.  Today they had a pile of material in which they had to work together in a group to make a pen for Wilbur.  Here are a few pictures.

Have a wonderful long weekend!
