Rosie Sprout's Time to Shine

I had the best time springing into spring with a bunch of my classes last week. We read Rosie Sprout's Time to Shine, watched a cool video of a bean sprouting in time lapse, and then did some science! We put a bean seed and a wet paper towel into a plastic bag.

Now that some time has passed, many of the beans are sprouting. I caught a photo of a student in Mr. Hashbarger's class checking out everyone's experiments.

Gaston: Making Poodles with FCC

Have you read Gaston by Kelly DiPucchio and illustrated by Christian Robinson? It's the story of a puppy named Gaston who gets lots of training from his mom to be a proper poodle.  His sisters are named Fi-Fi, Foo-Foo, Ooh-La-La, and Antoinette. What happens when they meet a group of rough and tumble puppies at the park?

In the library, we read the book, then made our own craft poodles with cotton balls and elmer's glue.  Very sophisticated, no?  Oui!
