In Layers of the Forest we made a big forest on the wall. In Rainforest Books, we wrote the names of the layers and glued the pictures that we made last time. In Postcard from Pluton , we drew of what we visualized. TS

In Layers of the Forest, we squeezed long brown paper and put paper green leaves on the brown paper and we had made trees and then we had to stop. In Crash we milled around the room and Mrs. S called out a number and we had to get in groups of that number. If you were not in a group you would have to be out. We played until there were two people left. SG

I loved Jungle Lines and Postcard from Pluton and I loved the Rainforest Passport and I also loved Crash and I loved playing outside at recess and acting like a monkey and drawing the rainforest pictures. I had lots of fun playing today. NA

I liked building the rain forest, going outside at recess and I liked drawing my pictures out of lines. And I liked playing Crash.  I liked out house thing. KP

In Rainforest passport, we colored the front and did the address and our birthday and stuff like that. In Postcard from Pluton, we had to draw crazy houses from people who live on a planet called Pluton and Plutonian houses. BR

When we did the Canoe Fun Puzzle, we had to look at the words we had to spell and put them in the lines we were given. In Scribble Picture, Mrs. Stansel told us different types of scribbles then she told us a subject and we had to find it in the scribbles we made. In All Answers Begin with N, we had to use sentences that we were given and find an answer that would complete it and it had to start with the letter N. SG

I liked the watercolor paintings and we did Lollipop Logic and Scribble Pictures and I liked the game Categories where we split up into groups. I like Dudley the Detective. KP

In Dudley the Detective, we had to guess what the animal was. I like Crayon Resist. In the Mirror Game, we had to be like a mirror.   In Scribble Pictures, we drew lots of different kinds of scribbles and made things out of them. My favorite thing was Scribble Pictures. TS

We did spooky pictures. We did Trianglope and it was shaped like a triangle. We did Everything Begins with K. In the Rain Forest layers, the bottom is called the forest floor and it usually has a river. We ate alphabet cereal. My favorite thing was drawing the spooky picture. KP

In Trianglope, we had to listen to directions and picture the animal they were describing in our head and draw it and we couldn't draw it unless she said the detail of the animal first. In Spooky Halloween, we had to draw what they said then you could add whatever you wanted to the things you made. SG

In Crayon Resist we drew a bunch of flowers. We drew with crayons then we painted over them. The crayons were still seen because the paint came right off of the crayons. In A-Zoo we put animals in alphabetical order and then we drew the animals in cages. In Screamer we closed our eyes we thought about who we were going to look at. If the person that you are looking at is looking at you you scream and fall on the ground. SG

September 2nd

We did scribble faces. They were fun. I drew a picture of myself. A is for Crunch we had to guess what the letter was. I liked Mystery Bags because other people have to guess what it was in the bag. I liked the part of All Answers Begin with A when we had to draw and awkward animal. Vocal Enviroment we had to guess where it was and what sounds that place made. TS

When we did scribble faces we used lines.SG

In A is for Crunch, I liked Z is for yucky because zucchini is yucky! Lollipop Logic was fun. we do fun things in gifted. I think the aunt in an apron looking at ants from All Answers Begin with A was funny. BR
