Here is our week at a glance. Remember Thursday is Parent/Teacher Conference Day and no school for the students. I am looking forward to meeting and discussing your child's beginning second grade days with you.
Remember that the North America landmark project is due tomorrow (9/28) and I can't wait to read what the students have found out about these interesting places that many people from around the world visit each day.
The gardening project kicked off to a great start and last week some of the student got to plant various vegetables, which we hope to harvest in time for Thanksgiving. Many of the students were interested in the germination process and so we are watching our own lima bean seeds (soaked in water and cotton wool) change and sprout in the classroom.

Keep sending in those Boxtops and Cash for Trash items, which means money for our school.
Have a fantastic week.
