Dear Mom and Dad,

Today was picture day.  We all showed our best smiles and can't wait to show you how awesome we looked.

In math, we used the 100 chart to answer questions about numbers.  There are some helpful patterns in the 100 chart!

After lunch, we had a busy afternoon.  We got into three groups to do word work activities, two of our classes had music, and then we all had gym!  Ask me what I did in my word work group.  After gym, we started to talk about Thanksgiving, and what it means to us and what we are thankful for.  We are going to put our list of things we are grateful for in our Visual Journals tomorrow.

Question of the day:
I am a number between 13 and 20.  I am an even number. I am a double of eight.  What am I?

Love The Rainbow Triad

Housekeeping:

No School on Thanksgiving Monday.

Walk to School Week: In 1997, Walk our Children to School Day was launched in Chicago by the Partnership for a Walkable America. Canada held its first national Walk a Child to School Day in 1998 with participants from five provinces. In 2000 the first International Walk to School day officially began and today schools from all thirteen provinces and territories join millions of students all over the world as they walk to school.
Participating countries include Canada, United States, Mexico, Great Britain, Ireland, France, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Italy, India, Australia, New Zealand and other countries.
Join the movement and millions of walkers around the world as we walk to school during this week! Register your school online and ideas, and participant items will be sent to you. Everyone is welcome to participate!
