What an exciting week we had!! We started the week off with our "Orange you glad it's Fall" Celebration. It was so much fun. Thank you to all the parents who came. It was such a big help and the kids were so glad you were there! We had a great time! Tuesday, was our first field trip! We visited the new school. I'm sure they talked all about the bus ride, but we really enjoyed seeing the inside of the new school. It looks so GREAT! The 3rd and 4th grade classrooms already have cubbies and the bathrooms already have beautiful tiles on the wall. Most Kindergarten classrooms didn't have ceilings. It was amazing. I can't wait to post pictures. I will post pictures when I can. I'm currently without a computer due to a recent smash and grab incident involving my car. I will post pictures when I can, I promise! I know y'all want to see what the new school looks like and what we are doing the class!

We had a 20 minute live video chat with NASA today. It was awesome. We saw live pictures from space and talked with a man from the Johnson Space Center in Texas. He showed us pictures of how astronauts train underwater at the center. We saw lots of great pictures from space. We asked lots of great questions. It was great!

Thank you to Jan's Dad for being our Mystery Reader this week!
