I'm SO PROUD of your children!

Your kids are pretty special! We received a letter yesterday requesting help with Haiti relief. I read the letter, but when I got to the part that said, "The class that brings the most items wins a cookie party.", the kids realized "on their own" that something was wrong with that! They, along with myself, feel like we should be helping out, but not because we are going to get something out of it. I am extremely proud of them for getting this concept on their own. It shows compassion, intrinsic motivation, and a generous spirit. Wow! Praise them! We thought it would be really cool if we tried to win this contest and then "pass" on the cookie party. So let's get collecting!! I will get my items this week! Please help if you can!

In other news, the enrichment words will be "u" words listed on spellingcity.com. We've already done r, s, and t words. My years tend to blend together. :)
