During workshop, one of our jobs was to "build and add" with linking cubes.

Also during workshop this week, we illustrated one of our North America chants.

We watched the math digital challenge videos made by our classmates!

For Kind Kids Club with Ms. Hines, we decorated kindness capes for the kindergarteners!

Go Noodle! :)

We continue to be thoughtful, observant readers! That chipmunk photo is on our chant and in that nonfiction book, you're right!

A little Kid President to inspire kindness! :)

We had such a fun week! I already can't wait to see everyone on Monday, to start learning about Asia together, and to see more of these kids' amazing writing! Have a great weekend, everyone! Enjoy the fall-ish weather! :)
