The first graders received their Jr. Achievement diplomas this week, the first of many to come!
In writing we have really been working on convincing our readers. This week we focused on talking directly to our reader, just like a commercial! Beware, they are getting good at persuading!
The entomologists began their study of insects with mealworms. On Thursday, the entomologists got to go on a ladybug hunt outside in the Stephenson garden...there were tons of them! Ms. Pawol's mom provided all of the entomologists with their very own lady bug catchers, equipped with a magnifying lid!
She also gave them all their own crayon boxes with 48 crayons! We of course had to read "The Day the Crayons Quit" to ensure that we keep our new crayons happy :)
We ended the week with our Stephenson Talent Show - what a fun way to end the week!
Reminders:
5/24 -- Substitute day
5/26 -- Artist in Residence @ 8:30 - 10:00
Photos from the week...
Ingrid is stoked about her mealworms. The subject at dinner makes me a little green, but I try not to show it. :) She is very excited to watch them develop.
