This has been a great week with you, 3B! It was so fun to hear you come up with your characters last week and see many of them take shape on the page this week. You had so many great ideas for your characters, anything from storybook characters to pirates to monsters and penguins. Many of your characters came to life and we are looking forward to the adventures you have in store for them next week when we illustrate our stories of them.

To do that, we undertook the making of books this week. We had a good time constructing the books with you and your special grownups. With so many blank pages, we hope that you are thinking of some of the things we’ve noticed in our readings these past couple of weeks; namely, what do your characters want, and how will your characters get what they want? Ooooh, we are very excited to see and hear your stories next week!

In the afternoons this week we had a great time with a variety of projects. We made birdfeeders for our little feathered friends early in the week. That was so much fun, despite being more challenging than we believed it would be. That’s part of the fun though, right? Of course, we made a lot of artworks, too. We painted and drew and cut and glued, to come up with many different types of art projects throughout the whole week. And, as we love to do so much, we danced and danced! Regardless of the number of friends at the dance party, it is always such big fun!

Thanks for a great week everybody. Have a great weekend!
