We had a special visitor in our class last Wednesday.  Ms. Sands is a grade 2 teacher at St. John's Episcopal School in Dallas, Texas.  She brought us all kinds of gifts from our pen pals including pencils, stickers, artwork and yummy Texas taffy!  We enjoyed asking Ms. Sands questions about her school and about Dallas.  She even showed us what our pen pals do for tornado drills! Read below to find out what Patrick and Ben thought about the visit.      Ms. Sands came on Wednesday from Dallas, Texas, in the USA.  She is very nice.  Me and Kaity gave her a tour of our school.  She gave our class some stuff.  We are very happy that she came to our school.  We all love Ms. Sands.  She is a good friend and she is welcome to our school when she wants.                                                                  By Patrick   Ms. Sands is very nice.  She came from Dallas, Texas, USA.  Patrick and Kaity took her on a tour of our school. It is Gretna Green Elementary School.  Can you believe that she came all the way from Dallas, Texas?  She came with lots of treats and goodies!  We all loved her.  She is welcome anytime!                                                                     By Ben

When your child brings home a guided reading book please have him/her read it to you.  Take a moment to ask questions and discuss what they have read.  Please return the book to school the following day.  Thanks!

It's that time of year again!  Our first skating session is on Thursday, November 19th.  Remember to dress warmly and to bring a good helmet!
