May Day

Happy first day of May!  Today we talked more about Gail Gibbons and I read her book Caves and Caverns aloud to my class.  Many of them have been to Cave of the Mounds, an amazing place near Blue Mound, Wisconsin.  As I described going through the narrow paths in the cave one of my third grade girls asked, "Are you claustrophobic?" which started a whole new direction for our conversation.  We also took a look at Dorothy Hinshaw Patent, Seymour Simon, and Jim Arnosky's work and compared how differently they share information.  Definitely a big fan of Jim Arnosky too.
