Today in class we listened to three different versions of Twas the Night Before Christmas.  Have you heard any others?  What were they?

If you are all finished with your Greek word AND your Greek gods and goddesses cards, then you may visit the following site and listen to a Greek myth.  You MUST wear your headphones.  When you are finished please post a comment about the myth you listened to.

After school I attended SmartBoard Training.  I am so excited for us to get our new board.  There is a plethora of interesting, educational, and exciting tools for us to use!  I am counting on you to help me use this equipment in our classroom. We will learn together!

Last week we talked about Thanksgiving after we watched Molly’s Pilgrim.  What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?  Post a comment to receive a Thanksgiving treat!

Way to go!  All the pies were picked up this evening (and before 6:00PM).  It was pretty amazing considering the fact that the sixth grade sold over 2,000 pies!  OK, I’m off to have some pie for dinner….just kidding!

As we are switching gears from Ancient Egypt to Ancient Greece,  check out MythWeb.  Here you will find the stories of some of the gods and heros from Greece.

Check out the Today section.  Do any of these words sound familiar?  Have you heard anyone say a word that resembles one of those characters?  Tell us about it!
