Increasing Our Stamina

This week we have been working on increasing our stamina. We have been working in our Daily 5 Activities and trying hard to be independent. Mrs. Hauta needs to work with smaller groups and she needs to know we will do our jobs. Here is what our Daily 5 looks like!





We are also listening to Mrs. Hauta read aloud "The Year of Billy Miller" for the Global Read Aloud 2015. We have found a grade 3 classroom in Illinois to share ideas, questions and comments with. It is pretty exciting! They asked if we thought Billy's papa would ever get his big breakthrough? Here is what we thought!


We can hardly wait to hear more of the story!

    1. Some of us liked when Billy gave his gifts to Ms. Sliver so she would know he is a nice boy. Others really like hearing the part where Billy and Ned were making their habitats. Geoffrey, and Oliver
