What a fun week we have had!  It started with a surprise snowday that led to lots of recess fun in the fresh snow!  Here's an update as to what we have been doing:

Reading:  We were joined by author John Churchman on Thursday.  Students were excited to learn that his wife, and co-author, graduated from Williamstown schools!  They were able to pick out two new books to take home.  We have continued to read and study folk tales with a focus on fairy tales this week.  Students have been meeting in book groups that focused on folk tales as well.

Writing:  Students learned how to insert photographs into their writing pieces and have published their final drafts of their shoe pieces.  Next week, we will share our writing!
