Tuakana Teina Reading

Today we did some Tuakana-Teina (big kid-little kid) reading. We took our Red Riding Hood character descriptions along to the students in Room 1 and 2 and shared them.

Scarecrows

We had a fantastic time yesterday creating scarecrows for the front fence of the school. Don't forget to do a drive-by and check them out! The theme this year is Wearable Arts.

If you don't know what wearable arts is, here's a helpful video:
