The kids found a caterpillar in the Bennie garden. It has been placed in a caterpillar tent and is now our class pet. Everyone is very excited about our bug!
Ask Me
Each week I'll give you a question or two that you can ask your child about what we are learning in class.
- What is going on with Ruby Lavender and Melba Jane? How does Ruby feel about her grandmother Miss Eula?
- How many multiplication problems can you do in a minute? What does your mad math bar graph look like?
- Who do you EEKK with?
