Coins in my hand

Lucas's Dad brought mud puppies in for us to see. 

During the days we were at school this week, we learned about plants. This is our garden. They started with a seed and then made the seedling, the growing plant, and the plant that is ready to pick.

During math, we used seeds to add 10s to numbers. 

On Monday, we had visitors. Kendra's ducks enjoyed their day in the classroom.

Pizza Hut's Book It program ends in March. When your child reaches 10 books, they will now receive a Papa Murphy's card.

Thank you!
