We had a very productive and fun-filled week back at school! Some of the highlights include: discussing the story Rumpelstiltskin, researching polar animals using technology and books, and concluding our study of fractions. We had a great week and are getting closer to filling our big bucket of fuzzies for the 2nd time! Last time they filled the bucket, they earned a class pet!
