Women's Tea, Publishing Party, and Shapes!

A ton has been going on in the pre-first classroom.  Before break, Frida Kahlo dropped by to say hi.

We ended our unit on famous women in history by having a tea party.  The girls were able to sample small sandwiches, fruit, special desserts and--of course--tea.  As the girls we eating their lunches, we got the chance to discuss all of the famous women we learned about and how they paved the way for our young girls today. Many thanks to Emily Prevas, Alison Pritchard, and Mohamed Gheis for their help in making our tea a success!

The girls got into the St. Patrick's groove by creating their own pots of gold!

To celebrate our latest Writer's Workshop book, we had a Publishing Party with Mr. Lancaster's 7th grade history class.
Today in math, we continued studying shapes and challenged the girls to use the shapes we have already learned to create new shapes.
