We worked on our voicethread for a couple of days and we finally finished it. The kids had a great time recording their voices and hearing themselves.

What we have done so far.....

On Monday, the student teachers Delmy and Jessica helped us complete our KWL charts, which included what we already know about beetles, what we want to know and what we have learned.

Today we posted a blog about what we have learned about the beetle. Jessica, the student teacher guided us. Delmy helped us find a website with pictures of the beetle.
