Welcome Spring!

We have had a successful first week back!  The girls were so excited to see each other again and we loved hearing all of their stories from Spring Break.  Although spring weather has eluded us for this past week of March, we are doing everything in our power to encourage it to show it's beautiful face.  We read It's Spring by Susan Swan and brainstormed as many Spring words as we could.  Then the girls used our words to create a poem called, "Hello Spring, Goodbye Winter".

The girls were also introduced to their latest Author of the Month--Robert Munsch.  We read "Stephanie's Ponytail" on Tuesday and today we read "The Paper Bag Princess".   The girls have really enjoyed the silly writing of our newest author.

After we read the story, the girls were paired up to sequence the events.

The girls worked together to glue the events in order on paper bags which are hanging in our classroom.
