Continuing with Babar and talking about goal setting and how if feels to not achieve vs achieving. 

We made blueberry cobbler (to continue the theme of Miss Rumphius- since we had so many out last Thursday.) 

And we created posters for a made up event- some used our event Friday night for their inspiration.  

We reviewed on the map the locations of Paris, England, and Spain and how the architecture is similar and different. 

We studied the mother of Pearl and painted shells again.  (Another recap from Miss Rumphius) 

In music we listened to classical music and learned how to play chopsticks on the piano.
