Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you all enjoyed a relaxing weekend spent with family and friends. Last week got away from me and I did not send the blog, my apologies. We were very busy last week with art, math and writing.  Students worked on their autobiography projects, writing out their bucket lists.  In math, students worked on comparing and ordering large numbers, as well as learning more about area. In art, we finished our clay bowls and hope you enjoyed receiving them on the weekend.  In addition, students made model magic owls and dogs.  These turned out beautifully and will be on display in the classroom before coming home. Socials Studies brought the students into the world of politics and elections. In PE we played games and continued working on soccer skills. Below are the events for this  week. 

This week:
