11-19-12 Daily Update

We have been learning about the voyage on the Mayflower, the Pilgrim's first year at Plymoth, and the first Thanksgiving this week and last.  Ask your child about some of the things we have discovered through our studies.  You might be surprised by how much you didn't know or believed wrongly about the history surrounding the first Thanksgiving.

The students brought home their grade slips for their science test today.  Students are allowed to retake any Science test to raise the grade if they would like.

Reminders:

• Math challenge slips can be completed each day for prizes from the office
• Wed. Nov. 21 begins Thanksgiving break

Have a great weekend!
