Reading and the Rainforest...

This week we learned all about sloths. We now know that they move slowly, they eat leaves, twigs and fruit, the sleep 20 hours a day and they use their claws to hang in the canopy of the rainforest. We wrote about them in our journals and made some sloths to hang in our classroom rainforest. 

Mr. Gutman came to visit our class and read a book to us. Miss Ross' class joined us. He read a great new book called The Smallest Girl in the Smallest Grade. This was a book about not being a bully - we had a good discussion about friendly and safe behavior at recess and at school. 

We made some leprechauns to get ready for St. Patrick's Day. We each got 5 gold coins to create an addition problem with.

We read about toucans on Friday. Their colorful bills are as long as their body! We made toucans too, and added them to our rainforest.
