Store Opening

Today we got to spend our hard earned money.

Here are FA, GU, and EN running the store. See below to see and hear a small clip of the action.

Some of the students purchases mustaches!

Here they are looking at themselves in the mirror! Too funny.
We all had a great laugh with them. Some were able to wear them all day long.We finally got back to our fund raising project, our cards.
Today we finished them up and now I will take them to the print shop and get them printed.
They will be ready for sale soon, so we can help you with your holiday shopping.

We will use our profit to help a family in need this winter along with getting something for our room that we all want. We will be discussing this after we see how well our project goes.
We painted our paper, then made flowers with the paper.
Today we tore different shapes and sizes to help tie it all together.

I think they will be bright and cheery cards that anyone would love to receive.

Here BR and BB are working together on their card.

On Halloween we got mail from our pen pals. It was so much fun and today we started writing our letters back. Here ST is re reading her letter before she responds back.

We are really having fun writing to our second grade friends and it seems so easy to write when it is meaningful.

Items that we are focused on in our letter writing are: a greeting, information about us, questions for our reader, a salutation, capital letters, and punctuation.

Here is a video clip of our store that we opened this morning.
