When we got off the bus, Miss Mendez and Miss Wright asked us "What was your favorite part of our field trip to Wildrock today?" Here are some of our answers: "That when we went in the water and we saw the snake" - London "The fish" - Pedro "Water! That there was a snake" - Dayana "Sleeping on the bus!" - Zy'Darian "Going out to play in the sandbox" - Camryn "Mine was the climbing" - Mihanna "Mine was the playing" - Kat "My favorite part was staying outside" - Katy "My favorite part was the water" - Fernanda "Playing and eating" - Zion "Water!" - Emir

Today, we made maps of towns that were responsible with their trash and had lots of ways to reuse and recycle materials. We worked both individually and in groups. Here are some reflections from working in groups: "Katie made the grass and she made the pond too" - Stefiny "The trash in the water and there's a net to catch the trash in the water and there's garbage cans and there's a tree. There's a clean island" - Ozair "I made this because we need a water thing and then I made a door and I made a little fish so he can get out and there's a thing for people to look at him" - London "I made a house and I made a book" - Zion "I made a bus right there on the road and I made a hotel and I made the recycling with a can recycling plastic bottles" - Zy'he "I made a park and a swing and a recycle and a basketball and a tree" - Mihanna "I made a dumpster truck...a recycling truck and a house...

Today our class had a lot of fun! We practiced being independent on computers, listened to stories, built with pattern blocks and practiced writing recipes. We also baked cookies for a friend's birthday! Here are some things we liked about today: "When we made cookies" - Emir "When we made cookies and worked on the computer. I did not have a partner" - Camryn "Making cookies" - Zion "Eating cookies" - Katy "Watching the movie and eating cookies" - Stefiny and Kialyah "Getting the cookies. Making pattern block recipes" - Zy'Darian "Recipes have numbers and words" - Dayana and Zy'Darian
