Monroe County Fair

On Friday we went to the Monroe County Fair with Patrick Singer's class, Cicely Neri's class, and Beth Looby's class. The students enjoyed many rides such as the ferris wheel, swings, and the "orbiter." Three of our students played a ping pong toss game and all of them won twice! They won a goldfish for each time they landed a ping pong ball on top of a glass bottle.

Our first full week went great! We have just reached the point in Peter Pan where the Darling children leave the nursery. We have discussed the characterization of Peter, Wendy, and Captain Hook. We have also discussed how this is a fantasy because people cannot fly, a dog cannot be a nanny, and stars cannot speak. Everyone is enjoying the novel so far, especially because of the amazing pictures in our books!
