Our First Week

Hiya! It's Gabriela. 

Last week, was our first week. We started by reading a story, called Chrisanthemum by Kevin Henkes.

We took our first field trip of the year on Monday, to Elephant Rocks. Elephant Rocks, all of their rocks are made out of granite. Did you know, these rocks formed more than two billion years ago? That's crazy.

Here are some pictures from our field trip.

We also found a really neat spot, called Johnson Shut-ins.

Tuesday and Wednesday were normal days. We had gym on Tuesday, and went for a short walk/run out by our house. 

On Thursday, we read Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst. 

We also did "About Me" Sheets, where we drew ourselves and adjectives that make up us.

Along with that, we did our art projects , spin art and Collages.

If we made a 100 on our spelling tests this week, we got to take a trip to the lake, which we did. :)

Sadly, the lake we went to wasn't very clean, quite disgusting actually. But we had fun playing in the sand! 

Here is our fact of the week, from Jackson Miller:

A golf ball has 300-500 dimples. 

I hope you liked our blog post! 

Enjoy your week, Happy Monday!
