Welcome Back!  I hope that everyone had a great weekend! What a beautiful day we had on Sunday! This is only a four day week for the students.      Tulips Planted  On Tuesday October 19th we planted our tulips. It was very chilly and windy, but we planted 50 Red Emperor tulips. We are keeping a journal to record their changes and are comparing our garden with our class in Dallas Texas.                               International Project  We had a successful weekly weather and class report last week. The new system worked great and we could hear and see each other. Josh and Emily did a great job as the reporters and Madelyn did a super poetry reading. This weeks report will be done on Thursday.      No School  Just a reminder that there is no school for the students on Wednesday October 27th.      Skating  Our first skating day of the year is on Monday November 1st. The ice time is from 9:00 - 9:40. Students are required to have skates and a helmet. Parents are welcome to come and join us.      Borrow-A-Book  Just a reminder that it is important that the students read each night and record their reading on the log sheet.        Have a great week!  Happy Halloween Everyone!
