“How do you choose a book?
Students in our class shared all the different types of things they like to read & why they like them, so we can use the info. as an anchor chart if we’re ever finding it difficult to find something new to read.” Mr. Wolfe's 4th grade class

These pretzels are from a skeletal system unit Ms. Dively (student teacher) taught in Mr. Wolfe's 4th grade classroom. They created pretzel skeletons, and had to make sure they had all the major bones – fun part – they got to either salt or cinnamon/sugar them and eat ‘em up!
