Today, after Afternoon Work Time and Afternoon Meeting, we got to open another Flat Stanley envelope - Asher got a package from New Jersey with some fun information.

Then we played a word game, in which the kids heard a word, and then had to say each sound in the word. When we finished with that, we had our weekly Catalyst lesson in our room with Ms. Bechtel. Today the kids used their very creative minds to make animals that were made up of half of one animal and half of another.

After Catalyst, we had Writer's Workshop. Today the kids looked at all of the writing that they had in their folders, and sorted it into two piles - one of work that is "done" and one of work that they still have more to add to. After the sorting, they got busy writing!

When we finished writing, we had a short Choice Time and then it was time to pack up and head home!
