French breakfast

We had a great breakfast here at our hotel rooms in the Ritz.  The girls are getting very good at ordering room service.

From the Library

Third graders started off the year with Kate DiCamillo's Bink and Gollie series about friendship.

They've been honing their greetings around the circle. Ask your daughter about the crayon factory greeting and the fruit salad greeting. They've also created some imaginative two word stories.

We recently read a couple of chapters from Mysteries According to Humphrey, just as they were choosing books for their mystery projects in reading class. Ask your daughter about the word "piewhacked".

We've just finished The Hard Times Jar by Ethel Footman Smothers, which led to an interesting discussion and appreciation for having access to so many library books that we may not only read in school but also check out and take home.

Happy Halloween

Colorful and creative costumes anxiously await the Halloween party and a night of Trick or Treating!

Many thanks to the third grade parents who volunteered their time and sent in delicious goodies and party supplies!
