Happy St. Patrick’s Day! This morning we had the best time learning about the adventures of Poppy. The author gave such a detailed description of Dimwood Forest in this chapter. We were able to draw a picture of it from all of the details. In the afternoon, we worked with our buddy to complete our animal research Glog.
