County Fair project

Hi everyone! I just wanted to give you all a sneak peek at the quilt for the County Fair. I've been working on it today and have the entire top together. The kids did a wonderful job on their squares and the quilt as a whole looks fabulous! I think this will be a much sought after piece at the fair!

We are learning from NON FICTION!

This week we have begun a study of Non Fiction. We sorted the books in our classroom library into Fiction and Non Fiction and have discovered that Non Fiction books are the ones that we can learn and share information from.

Our book boxes are now half full of Non Fiction and we are excited to learn a lot of new things about a variety of topics.
