We are excited to meet our 4th grade buddies in Mrs. Henkel's class this week (look for pictures), make some fantastic Thanksgiving projects, and hopefully start some new math activities on the computer that you will be able to work on at home too. Look for the username sheet to come home some time this week-I'll also send out an email.  Thanks!
