What Are We Learning This Week? (Nov 29-Dec 3)

I hope everyone had a relaxing Thanksgiving break! Time to work hard for 3 more weeks, then we will have some more time to rest and relax! :)

Classroom Needs: Right now, we could use some more pencils and glue sticks. The pencils we use are the brand "Ticonderoga" and they are fatter than regular pencils to allow for better grip. If you can supply some, that would be very appreciated! They can be found at School Box. We also are in need of more glue sticks. Thanks!
