The last few weeks we have been very busy learning about travel and Dr. Seuss. Last week we read various Dr. Seuss books including Oh the Places You'll Go and Horton Hears a Who. To go along with these books we wrote about  what we wanted to be when we grow up as well as practiced using  adjectives to describe a place by how it sounds. On Friday, we had the privilege of having a guest a reader from Golden Valley Memorial Hospital come and read to us for Read Across America Day. The kids enjoyed hearing the the reader share, The Book with No Pictures.

 The last few weeks we have also worked on writing opinion writing pieces. Two weeks ago after reading The Big Trip and comparing and contrasting various types of travel the students picked which way of travel was the best. They had to practice writing a topic sentence, three reasons, and a conclusion. The students continued practicing writing about their opinion by writing about which Dr. Seuss book was their favorite and why.
