We had a good week! We began an author study of Jan Brett and began writing a book of our own! Check out Jan Brett’s amazing website, janbrett.com.

We saw video clips about Bats on National Geographic. Did you know the largest bat has a wingspan of six feet! Don’t worry–these bats eat fruit! We brought home our Bat Folders and brainstormed everything we’ve learned about bats! Did you know that when children write about science, their writing skills improve dramatically!

Math has continued to be fun and meaningful! Children sometimes work alone, sometimes in pairs or in groups. This increases conversation. We want to inspire children to explain what they know, ask each other to clarify, listen to each other, feel safe and take risks discussing their math ideas.
