Tianni had a great week, and we are sad to see her go. The new Top Banana for our class is Gerry.  Ms. Wolfean and Gerry forgot to share his poster. "Today was pretty fun because I was first at everything.  I felt like I was the number one kid of the class because I got to help Ms.Wolfean," Gerry stated. Gerry reported what he learned today and he loved visiting the library.  He was able to check out one fiction book, which  he chose a chapter book.  Then he chose a non-fiction book.  He likes the library because he got to view books that were going to be sold at the Book Fair next week.  When we returned to class Gerry was excited because Mrs. Dolye came to read to us another folktale called, Martina the Beautiful Cockroach by Carmen Agra Deedy.  He loved the book because it was partly in Spanish and English.  He thought it was cool to learn Spanish words.Then we looked at books at our desk to discover what they had in common.  Gerry noticed they were all Fairy Tales and some of them had speaking bubbles for characters.  The class noticed they were all fiction, from different countries, different versions, and all started with Once upon a time.  Gerry thought, "The CGI was frustrating because it made him dizzy and confused." He thought overall it was a pretty good day.  YOUR CHILD IS RIGHT NO SPELLING SHORT WEEK!!!  :)
