Monday 10/4
On Monday we got to choose our "Pen Pals" from Ms. Quinn's Class! Mrs. Turner put all of the names up on the board and each of us got to pick which student we wanted. Some of the girls in our class picked a child from Mrs. Rainey's class and one from Ms. Quinn's class. Each month were doing a different animal for our letters, so this month it was different cats. Our "Kitty Cat" pen pal letters turned out so cute! There was a variety of cats such as lions, tigers, cheetahs, leopards, etc. On top of the letter we got to draw the face of the animal. Then we cut on the bold line and it formed an adorable folded letter!
Tuesday 10/5
On Tuesday, we all came in and finished up our pen pal letters from Monday. They were introductory letters so we could get to know our pen pal. After we finished those, we met with our childrens book groups and continued to work on our stories. Mrs. Turner gave us a lot of work days to work on these, so we were all very productive in the time given.
Wednesday 10/6
Wednesday morning, we came in a little earlier than usual because it was the first Wednesday of the month, which means Teacher of the Month Dots! All the girls chose a teacher and got to decorate a thank you sign for their doors. The theme is polka dots so we continued to use our creativity with all the different materials Mrs. Turner has in her cubbard full of items. Some of us took all period to make these, and those who finished continued to work on their childrens book.
Thursday 10/7
On Thursday, everyone came in ready to work. As you looked around the room, childrens books were beginning to come together, and everyone was focused. My group used a piece of cardboard that Mrs. Turner had to form the outside cover. We glued everything together and were very pleased with the product. Everyone's childrens books were looking so cute, and I could not wait to see all the finished books.
Friday 10/8
Friday finally rolled around which meant the last workday before our childrens books were going to be due. I was on a field trip so I was not in class, but I know that everyone finished up their books and tied the final strings. Monday we are presenting to the class and I absolutely cannot wait!
