Our last reading lesson introduced us to Butterfly Farming. Students in Costa Rica raised butterflies to sell. We decided to show what we know about butterflies through a bookr project.

Getting geared up for the Math KCA next week beginning April 9th-12th! We have been refining our skills through some fun games and review. We are sure to remember our DATA information after our fun with Jellybeans!

Kansas Computerized Assessments

We will begin taking the KCA April 3rd-5th. We have been working hard, and we're eager to show what we know. Please take the time to wish us luck!

Kente Cloth

This week we are reading Seven Spools of Thread. The Seven Ashanti brothers learn that working together makes them stronger. The Ashanti brothers in the story make beautiful cloth to give to their people. One type of cloth similar to this is Kente Cloth. The icon of African cultural heritage around the world, Asante Kente cloth is identified by its dazzling, multicolored patterns of bright colors, geometric shapes, and bold designs.

This week we will make our own paper versions of the Kente cloth. Check out the blog to see pictures of our cloth!
