Today our class was glad to welcome their Grandparents to Gattis Elementary.  We were proud to see them and have lunch with us. Clara reported again to me she had fun swimming in class to music, but sad we could not see the video.  She enjoyed reading and writing letters to our parents.  Clara has been chosen to be the TOP BANANA of our class.  She is our spot light child for the up coming week.  I will be asking the Top Banana to give me their ideas to put in the blog. Please be on the look out for when your child will also be our top banana.    We took another quiz in math on our time, and continued to count on by 1, 2, and 3.  In Social Studies we discussed soldiers in Iraq and the heroes of September 11, 2000.  I felt a need to inform them because we are discussing patriotism in class. It was also brought up by a student during calendar time.  We were recording important events, and one child made the connection.  Please look in your child's purple folder for your invitation to Open House on September 13, 2011, at 6:30.  Your child wrote the letter and worked hard on this.  I am proud of their writing and look forward to a wonderful world of writing.
