Ice Skating and Researching!

Dear families,

We went on a field trip on Wednesday. We went ice skating in Central Park. Some of us fell down, but then we learned how to ice skate all by ourselves! Some of us learned how to go really fast. Clara taught some of us, and some of us already knew how. We ice skated with friends, together. There was a guy at the rink ice dancing. He was super duper cool. He did spins and jumps like in ballet.

Here's a movie of us ice skating!

For a new writing project, we're writing nonfiction magazines about farm animals. We're in groups to research and write about cows, chickens / ducks, pigs, bees, horses, goats and sheep. Yesterday and today we thought up research questions, like "Do cows ever get fleas?" "Can cows run?" "Does the queen bee make the bees be born?" "Are baby chicks born with wings?" "How are baby horses born?" and "Where did the first bee in the world come from?"

Bye, families! Catch ya later!
