Are you looking forward to Halloween?

This has been a very busy week in our class.  We have finally finished our monster, and will be naming him next week.  This project was a great way for students to work through the designe process, which includes making a plan, choosing materials and how to put their monster part together and problem solving if they discovered their original plan needed to be modified. 

We are also half way through the novel we are currently reading "Ivy + Bean" by Annie Burrows & Sophie Blackall.  They are enjoying the humor in the story and many students have either purchased some of the books with their families or are planning are requesting them from Santa.
