While we were state testing this week, several students took advantage of the time when they finished to squeeze in extra reading minutes! Gunnar was absorbed in his book! Kit and Mayeli were enjoying their chapter books.  Both Rileys picked out good books! Addison was enjoying her "Owl Diaries" book! We talk often about how important it is to get in 60 full minutes of reading every day (at school - this doesn't count...

She also reminded us the safest way to ride the bus is "bottom to bottom, back to back."  We took a short drive through Paw Paw to practice. We got to smell the ripe grapes in the fields, we saw deer and turkeys! We also took a look at the corn and soybean...

The BUGS took some time today to interview a classmate. They asked each other a handful of questions... ...and carefully wrote down the answers. There were lots of giggles and conversations! Then, each pair stood before the class and introduced a new friend! We loved hearing about our classmates! We learned how old everyone is... ...what kinds of pets the students have... ...what their favorite subject in school...

We sampled four kinds of grapes (one from Paw Paw!) and two kinds of raisins. We made notes on our paper about each kind we tried.   Then, we picked our very favorite! We started by writing a draft. This draft lets us make mistakes and fix them before we put our work on pretty...
