Castles

Right before break we created castles with royalty in them. We also discussed whether we would like to live in a castle or not - most people thought they would! We wrote about that in our journals. 

Our fairy tale this week was "The Three Billy Goats Gruff". We loved hearing about the troll and how the goats tricked him! We created bridges and puppets to retell the story. 

We will finish up our fairy tale unit next week, and get ready for some March activities. March is Reading Month, and we will begin with a Dr. Seuss author study, focusing on rhyming words. Rhyming is an important part of developing phonological awareness...and that helps us build strong reading skills!

We received some exciting news from the WL Foundation for Excellence! They awarded our program a generous mini-grant to use to fund a field trip to the WL Outdoor Education Center this spring. We love the Foundation for Excellence and the work they do to support our schools and students! Our field trip is scheduled for June 5! We can't wait!
