Tales Of A 4-5 Something

This year we studied immigration. We learned about immigration in our past and immigration today. Becuase we were learning about immigration we were invited to a citizenship ceremony at the Federal Courthouse. We went and saw people from all over the world becoming citizens of America. They stood and took an oath and everyone who wanted got a picture with the judge. Everyone at the courthouse was very nice. They saved us seats and we learned about the history of the courthouse and courts in our country. The experience was really fun and we were happy to be a part of the people's special day. Mercy and Lucy Ellen

On Tuesday, as a part of our writing workshop class, we did something called the Oreo Challenge. We started by writing about what would make a perfect day. Then we drew lots of small pictures in circles about our perfect day. At the end, Tim and Nancy gave us an oreo and we had to show something about a perfect day but needed to use part of the cookie. It was very fun and delicious at the end because we got to eat an oreo. We did all this because we were practicing reflecting. Everytime we wrote or drew we needed to think "I notice...becuase.." and "I wonder." Emile and JJ
