After the Halloween festivities we got to go into Jane’s classroom for an Open House where she showed us the projects she’s been working on while we enjoyed Witch’s Blood (strawberry juice). They’ve been studying bees and plants so they made paper-plate flowers and painted chrysanthemums (hers is the tall pink one with the blue background). She also showed us her Writers Workshop folder. Her first assignment (bottom photo) was to draw a picture of something she knows about and label everything in the picture (as best she can with no help from the teacher). So this is a picture of the craters on Mars (MRZ) in outer space (OTRSBAS) and Mars’ moon.
