Wow! A full week of school! 😀 It was spent working on our literacy skills, getting better and better at computation, doing some great engineering work in STEM, enjoying our Mystery Reader, saying goodbye to Miss Mooradian and Mr. Carrigan (though they promise to come back and visit), and practicing for our concert during music class! I can't believe it's less than 2 weeks away! We also earned another 25 Caught You Being Good cards and celebrated with a special crafting time.

Our Mystery Reader this week was Mrs. Cole's friend, Pat Phillips! She is from England, and grew up in South Africa and The Netherlands. We had a lot of fun finding those places on the globe and looking at some of Mrs. Cole's vacation photos of London.
We continued learning about engineering this week during STEM by using clay and straws to make the tallest structure we could. It was super challenging!
On Monday, we will be walking up to the High School to rehearse for our concert on Dec. 17th. Please help us remember to wear shoes that are comfortable for walking up the sidewalk to WHS and back, as well as standing on the risers for 45m-1h.
I wish you all a marvelous weekend! I am going to try to finish my Christmas shopping and tackle the mountain of Amazon boxes that are accumulating in my dining room, gift wrap and tape in hand! I hope you get to enjoy a restful pre-holiday weekend!
