Our friends in Miss Owen’s class came over to watch a video about Veteran’s Day. Before they joined us, we read a book about the holiday and talked about why we celebrate this special day. We learned that veterans are people who served in the armed forces and the holiday is a way for us to show respect and honor to them for protecting others. Today was our spelling test. The bonus word was November. It was on the Smartboard during the test. Many children were observant and took notice. That was a good thing! Our class photos came back. Everyone looked handsome and pretty. This morning, we went to RIF. RIF is when you get to choose one book for free. We were so excited to browse through our new selections.
