We saw Mr. Harris.  He biked 4000 miles around the world. he showed us some pictures of  oceans and mountains. He said he saw some sad things and happy things. Mr. Harris also saw bulls. They where so  close he could touch them . 11000 feet up is the highest gift shop he went to. He went to Plum island.  Then met a little girl  and she just turned 11 and that is a special age in her tribe . When Mr. Harris was biking he had many adventures.       It was fun to hear about all the places he went.

We're working on how a plant makes food also known as photosynthesis. A plant makes food with 3 different ingredients sun, water and (CO2). The plant uses those to make sugar. After the plant makes sugar it lets out some oxygen.

This is team Jordan watching Johnny the K. 

I think that you are wondering who Johnny the K is well I can tell you . Johnny the K is a person who brings hats in and shows people that it doesn't matter about if your fat or skinny tall or short or if you have brown skin. Be nice to everyone, no matter what they look like. I liked the songs he sang.  My favorite hat was shaped like a pepper.  I also liked that he told jokes ever time he got out a new hat!

What can we learn from Johnny the K?

Please ask your child about the amazing visit we had from Johnny the K.  Thank you TESPTO for  bringing Johnny the K to Steward School.  The performance was engaging and relevant to our character studies.  We had a great conversation after the show.

To begin our journey Team Jordan made predictions based solely on the cover of the book.  Predictions help us to start to think about what we are about to read.  We think about what we see and what we already know to help make good predictions. 

This week, we are going to blog our predictions on Kidblog.  We are also going to use other comprehension strategies such as checking our predictions, questioning, visualizing, and making connections.  We are excited to talk to a global audience and share our thinking about Edward Tulane's adventures.

On early release days the teachers and Mrs. Costa get to be the students. We work together, listen to each other and learn, just like we did when we were in school !
