Mystery Reader - Drew's Friend Julie
Thanks to Drew's neighbor and friend, Julie, for coming to read to us today! She read two funny stories with great messages. She added in some funny stories about Drew as she read too! :) The students loved the book "Giraffe's Can't Dance", and they promise they will be good crickets! The second book, "Camping Day" was also a great book. I think that Drew is ready to go camping now! Thanks again for coming today, even when you weren't feeling the best, to be our Mystery Reader!

Science Review with Kahoot
We used a fun game called Kahoot to review for our Ch. 6 Science test. The students were in teams, and they had to use their devices to answer questions about clouds and the water cycle. It was super fun!

Mystery Reader
Ryan's grandma surprised Ryan today as our Mystery Reader. She read three very fun books to the class today! We always love good old Pete the Cat, and we enjoyed listening to "Pete the Cat Valentine's Day is Cool." Clark the Shark Takes Heart was a perfect book for this time of the year, and Clark is always funny! We enjoyed the book "Zoola Palooza" that had lots of homographs in them. She did a great job with all those tongue twisters! Thanks for reading to us today!
