Down on the Farm

OH..we're on our way, we're on our way, on our way to Earthway Farms!  We will be heading out for a full day field trip on Friday, May 18th.  The last two weeks we have been reading informational text about farmers and farm animals.  Students were asked to complete a can/have/are map about each and use these facts in their writing.  Students wrote three sentences using correct sentence structure (capital letter, spacing, and punctuation).  Here are a few samples of each topic. 
      
     
  
         
  
  
       













We used all facts we knew and compared two farm animals.  We did one whole group.  The next day students completed a comparison on their own.  See samples below.





Muffins for Moms was held this morning!  What a wonderful start to this special weekend.  I know I am looking forward to my first Mother's Day with Jaxon.  Here are a few students/moms from our class.
