Welcome Back!

Welcome back!  I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I was very thankful for that extra day off this year.  I got some shopping done!

I was happy to see all these smiling faces this morning.  We got right back into the swing of things.  Our new unit in reading is about animals.  The big question we are talking about is:  How do animals grow and change?  We will be studying animals for the next few weeks.
Today we started a mini writing unit on polar bears.  We are learning about polar bears and will use the information we learn for an informational writing piece.  The kids were very hard workers today!

On a side note.....our annual canned food drive started today!  I would love if my class could bring in the most cans.  Let's see how many cans we can bring in to help those in need.  The drive will continue through the last week before winter break.  Thanks for your help for a great cause.
