A brand new month..

We have been very busy lately, so busy in fact that our blog keeps getting bumped off the schedule. Here are some of the things we have been busy doing since our last blog...

We got our first letters from our Pen Pals. They live in Hendersonville, NC. We wrote a letter back to them and we are waiting anxiously for a new one from them.

We learned all about Thanksgiving, pilgrims, indians, and the Mayflower.

We learned about telling time to the hour and half hour on an analog clock.


And just recently...

Today we had a mystery guest, it was Mr. Lindell.
Michael lost a tooth in the library!
This week we are learning about money.
We already have had three star students of the week.
Grace is our star student of the week.
We have a Christmas tree in our classroom!
We are making something special teacher around the school.
We learned a song called "The Money Song"
There ar eonly 24 more days until Christmas.
Today was the 65th day of school.
A nickel is thicker and fatter than a penny!
