March 1st

Thank you for attending conferences! I enjoyed the opportunity to meet with each of you.

We ended out half days celebrating the conclusion of our mentor text, Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo. Thank you to everyone who was able to send in a dog picture. I can say that the students’ reactions were priceless. I loved it!

Today we made a “Mistake Tree”–ask your child about it. We also sampled Dump Punch, Littmus Lozenges, Pickles, Winn-Dixie treats, egg-salad sandwiches, and peanut-butter sandwiches. I was surprised by the number of boys and girls who liked egg salad! Wonderful!

Here are a few pictures:

T. did not care for “Dump Punch”!

This is our “Mistake Tree”. Bottles hang with a mistake we have made written on each one.
