What a CRAZY day!!

After a super busy week....we had a super busy day today!

We met with our different reading groups to hear about the 
books we all read this week!  

We were answering the BIG question: "How do we relate to nature?"

I love hearing their "Book Talks"





We also had a chance to watch the 5th graders' 
Explorer Parade and Wax Museum.
The 4th graders enjoyed seeing the 5th graders in action!  We were able to watch their speeches and learned about explorers from all over the world!




It is fun to see what we have to look forward to next year!

Because of our SUPER busy day - we did not get to science!  Yikes!  
We will bring our notebooks home on Monday with 
landform review information for the test that will now be on....FRIDAY!
