If my picture of our houses would not have been so contrary tonight, I would have let you have a peek at our masterpieces so far.  Maybe another day when they are even more colorful.

tonight:  math sheet front and back, super bowl reading

We still need helpers for Tuesday, December 11th, and before and after the Christmas Program on the 13th for our Santa workshop.  Anyone still available??

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope everyone enjoyed our pancakes this morning.  I sent a recipe that you can make very easily at home.

If your child gets bored, don't forget they have an ixl.com account that is really good.  We are just beginning to find equivalent fractions, reduce, and simplify.  I think that is M4.   We have also been working on B7, K2, Y1, Y2, and Y3.  If you haven't checked it out, maybe this weekend will be the time to take a look.

Hope reading a good book sounds like a fun, relaxing way to spend some of your vacation time.
