Caterpillar Cookies

We've been learning about our caterpillars' body parts: 13 segments, 12 eyes, 6 true legs, 10 pro legs, bristles, a spinneret (for making strands of silk) and spiracles (breathing holes along the body).  Our tasteful creations show that learning is DELICIOUS!

ABC Stories





Students in 2-1 love working with friends on writing projects.  We published our first class book called ABC Pugs Play Football.  It was such a hit, small groups are planning to write their own ABC books on different topics.

Scholastic Books Video

Scholastic has a catchy video about the importance of books for your child.  Here's the link.  Yes, it has some advertising for Scholastic books, but the message is good!
