Today we wrote persuasive letters to Santa to convince him we should be on the "nice" list. We had to give reasons why as well. They will be displayed in the hallway and I told them I would also make a copy to mail to Santa for them.

Amazing Milk Experiment
This afternoon we all gathered in our room for Experiment Friday. The kids worked in small groups to see the effects of different variables on milk. We added some food color, then some dish soap. Ask your child about what happened. They loved it!!!

Halloween Candy Drive
Wow! I am sure your kids told you we had a TON of candy donated. We counted and sorted a small portion of it which was 2,903 pieces of candy. In all, we donated 236 pounds to Dr. Harrison's office which they are donating to the troops through Operation Gratitude. They gave us a dollar per pound so we decided as a class to give the money to the American Red Cross to help all of those devastated by Hurricane Sandy. I told the kids we would have some kind of party to celebrate their hard work. We are voting for what kind of party to have..pizza, ice cream?
Thank you so much Theira and Cole Gregory for delivering all of the candy.
