A Note From Mrs. Graham
A Special request: I am going to Haiti to serve the teachers there during Fall Break. If you can, begin praying for a safe and successful trip for my team and me. I have been before and know what to expect. However, this time I will have more of a leadership role which will be an added stress.
IMPORTANT DATES

October 5-9: Fall Break
October 16: Elementary Night at the football game and our concession stand night.
Harvest Time That carrot Aaron is holding is a result of the some of the plants this class planted last year with Mrs. Overbay and Mrs. Pulgarin. | Hunting for Animal Homes After reading about some homes that animals make in our Journey's book last week, we went on a animal home hunt. | Taking Notes It was important to some of us to take our journals with us to make note of the animal homes we saw. We know we saw spider webs and some kind of burrow or snake hole. We are not sure which it was and we did not stick around to find out for sure. |
