Thanksgiving....

At this time of giving thanks...

I am thankful for my family.  My husband, Randy, my dad, my children, Eli, Deborah, Sarah, Daniel, and son-in-law Daniel make my life complete.

I am thankful for my job.  I work with the best students.  They are smart and make me happy.

May your holidays be filled with fun, family, and many good things.

Looking Up RESEARCH

Our new word this week is.... RESEARCH!

Research is a verb (action word) that means to investigate a subject in order to discover facts about the subject.

This week our Second Graders researched states. We went to the library to use the Internet to find facts about our state.

Leave a comment for Mrs. Walker telling something you learned in your research about your state.

Thanks for reading!
