ABCs & 123s

We've had a very productive week!  We've conquered 2-digit x 2-digit multiplication, we've learned about Samuel's obedience to God (and taken a test over the stories about him), we've finished our read aloud The Tiger Rising and have enhanced our ability to observe characters and create theories about them, we've written some pretty cool leads for our realistic fiction stories, and we've explored waves that transport information in new and fun ways this week.  Not only that, but we've thought about Reformation Day and the beauty of letting God wipe away all of our sins when we accept Him into our hearts.  Ask your kids about the message behind the two pumpkins we have sitting in our classroom right now!

And now, November is upon us!

Some hammock fun at recess:
