Reflecting on our week: 
The New Kid play



 We had fun listening to two different points of view about what really happened to the three little pigs. After hearing these two stories we worked on writing a story of our own based on a villains point of view. It was amazing how convincing A. Wolf was; only three students believed the three little pigs side of the story after they read his story.


 The students loved working on their social studies project. They are creating a Barefoot Island that must include specific things they learned over the past two weeks. They will be displayed in the hallway next week!



 We had a busy week but we took time out to talk about Veterans Day. We are making a flag art project, inspired by artist Jasper Johns. We will be sending our flag art, along with special cards to a few Zion Church members who are Veterans.
