The Giving Tree

Hello, blogging family!
We had a busy day today! Even busier than normal.
First, Mr. F read a story to us.  It was a story that none of us had read before. It's called The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. It helped us understand what it means to give everything we have, and also how important giving is! Also, the book helped us understand how many different things we can get from objects and areas near our homes such as trees, the water and the ground.

Then, later on, Mr. F told us we had to write directions to get to the art room. It sounds easy, right? IT WASN'T!! We had to write every single direction like "turn left, walk forward a little, turn right, walk forward until you reach the door," etc. We had to investigate and experiment on the right combination of directions until we made it to our destination, the art room.

We are almost finished with our current class story, Rikki Tikki Tavi.  It's a very exciting tale.

No pictures today, sorry. Milo stole Mr. F's camera. Maybe Milo will give it back tomorrow.

We can't wait until tomorrow, we have some more directions to write!

Until next time,


Mr. F and the Blogging Bilbies
