TGIF

After all was said and done (and read!), we raised one thousand, four hundred dollars for Hurricane Katrina victims. The kids did a fabulous job reading. I also had several kids bring in money from their piggy banks.

Things are going well here. William Shakespeare is still alive, thanks in part to the addition of another fish, Langston Hughes. They keep each other company.

We are studying Weather/The Water Cycle in Science. One of the kids, after learning that clouds are made up of water molecules, exclaimed, "So it rains when the cloud gets fat? It goes on a diet, then. My uncle needs to learn from the clouds." I laugh every day.

In Social Studies, we are about to learn the 7 continents and all of our map skills. Thank you for sending us so many postcards already. The kids LOVE getting postcards. We are now getting postcards on a daily basis.

Thanks for checking in on us!
