today's snapshot

Whew! What a busy day! This morning we had a visit from our mayor, Tom Tartt. He read to each class and viewed the Trash Fair.

Then we attended Dr. Minear's Language Arts Class Fair. We learned lots of new things at each booth!

And THEN we toured the Trash Fair. This is our first annual Trash Fair! Students were asked to make projects using recycled projects and bring them to school today.

And then we finally had enough time to read a story together before lunch. And it was a funny one too!
