What a great week, 3B! We have had so much fun with you as you have decided which characters you are going to use as we begin our stories next week. What a wonderful array of characters it is! We have world famous characters in the likes of Snow White and Transformers, a number of your favorite stuffed animals, and even our very own Ms. Debbie. Yay! Great choices, 3B.

Once we had most of our characters in mind, it was good fun to read Click, Clack, Moo – Cows That Type with you and discover what the cows want in the book, which is electric blankets. Then we examined how the cows go about getting those electric blankets; withholding milk and eventually trading their typewriter. Great job with figuring those thongs out, friends. Remember, this weekend, think about what your characters might want and how they can try to get what they want. These can be anything at all.

It was so fun playing the clues game this week, too. You all did a great job of picking items from your house and giving us clues, so we could guess what it was that you picked out. You took the time come up with great ideas for us. You provided excellent clues using texture, movement, color, sounds, and more to help us guess. Great job, 3B, your clues are getting so good!

In the afternoons this week we had fun doing so much art with you. We started the week by starting or continuing our cardboard sculptures. These were made with (my favorite) repurposed cardboard. It was fun building these with you and seeing the great ideas you shared with us. Later in the week, we simply took out any art supplies we wanted to use and created any artwork we chose. It was fun to see animals and monsters and art creations that were simply made for the joy of creating artworks. Thanks for a great week, friends!
