Is Writing Fun?

You bet!!!
Check out how much fun we had doing procedural ("How to..") writing these past weeks. We wrote how to read, go down a slide, blow your nose, make chocolate milk, and eat cereal. Then finally, we wrote about how to find buried treasure during our Pirate Week!! Makes you wish you were in kindergarten doesn't it? Lucky us!

First we poured the milk. Then Hunny Bunny adds the chocolate to the milk.
Next we stir the chocolate in the milk. And last we drank the milk!! Mmmmm. :)

You can't find treasure without some mates to help you.

And they need to wear the right garb, so we know they're pirates.

These are some scurvy dogs!
Aaahrr!! I hope these guys know where the treasure is.

Pirates may not have any manners to boot, but they're intent on finding that treasure.

Is the treasure here?
Happy to be digging for the gold.
Ye must follow the map exactly.
My crew and favorite scurvy dogs!!

Star Students

Being five is the best age ever and our Star Students in February showed us why!
You guys rule!

Gabby is our growing up girl!! She's been a great role model -- that everyone who works hard makes great changes!
Jacob shows just good old fashioned kindness to others. That's a fantastic part of our personality that we need to hold onto throughout life!
