Tangram Trials & Triumphs
Students celebrated the end of the 3rd quarter testing their skills with a variety of tangram puzzles. Paper puzzles, magnetic pieces, 3-D models, and the ipod touch were all used by the students to conquer the shapes and designs offered by the tangram teasers.

It's Raining Cupcakes
It's Raining Cupcakes by Lisa Schroeder is a book everyone should read! You will find friendship, feelings, family, and funny bits mixed into pages of mini life lessons. The recipe would not be complete without an ending that makes you want more--more cupcakes, more laughs and more to read. I loved the chapter titles and the real-life relationships that developed in each one.
The book is available from the Scholastic Book Club and I have one for check out in our room library. I bet you can't read it without craving a cupcake!
