Author Ethan Long visited our school on Friday morning. He shared how being an author and illustrator is a process that requires a lot of reflection and revision. He then helped us practice these important skills as we created a new character together and explored her actions and personality.

 We want to extend a special thank you to Cayla and her entire family for sharing their Diwali celebration with us. We enjoyed learning about the history of the holiday and how families celebrate it today. Ask your child what they learned!
 We teamed up with Mrs. Jensen's class and our school librarian to learn the first step of note taking, determining trash or treasure. We learned how smart note takers are constanly reflecting on whether or not new facts are treasures that help them answer their research question or trash that can be forgotten or saved for another time.
 Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Grandberry for leading our first Art Appreciation lesson of the year. We enjoyed learning about the history of ancient Engtyptian art as well as experimenting with rubber stamps to make our own hieroglyphic art.
