Pandas!

A recent trip to the San Diego Zoo reminded me just how great pandas are. They might just be my favorite animals. Actually I think they tie with dolphins.

Anyway, I found these two great books at the zoo. I have a collection of children's books from my travels, and these two were perfect additions. In true teacher fashion, I was sure to choose both a nonfiction and fiction picture book.


Working together and working alone

First of all, let me say I'm sorry I've neglected this blog for a while. I'm back. And this time I'm staying.


I love when I get to read my students' writing. It's guaranteed entertainment.


After reading a book together about working alone and as a team, this boy wrote, "It is better to work together when I make a cake. And when I make a book." The next box says, "It is better to work together when I make a flag. And make a big, big cake."


Check out that four tiered cake. I sense a future baker in our midst.
