Clear the halls, secure the building...
We did have a practice drill today. In case your child comes home to talk about it, we did turn out the lights, hide in a corner and under a desk, and waited for the "all clear" notice to resume class.

Morning Meeting....
How many days have we been in school? We counted our ten frame chart and we are up to 88.  We read the chart, which is so cool to see the kids do. Today we recognized that we didn't all read the chart when we came to school, but now we can READ!!! Today's activity was to count how many chairs are in the room.  The correct answer is 34.

What's the news?
Nora "Tobin wrapped one of my presents."
Taber "My dad said I can get a new RC car."
Lenora "After breakfast my Noni said I could unwrap some presents.
Ashlyn "I can go to Lenora's birthday.
