I Need My Monster - Art Work Part 1

Yesterday Room 4 spent the day in Room 3 with us All Stars because Upu was away.

We watched the StorylineOnline story called "I Need My Monster"

We talked about what body parts monsters need to have, and then we created our own monster.

Here's what they look like so far...

Thursday Writing Fun

 

One of our goals for this term is to write a sentence by ourselves.

We are using counters for each word.

When we write a word we put a counter in the cup.

This helped us to write a whole sentence mostly by ourselves on Thursday.
