Thank you to Mrs. Nelson
We had a great presentation by Mrs. Nelson, Nathan's mom on Thursday.  She brought two horseshoe crabs to share with first grade and several other classes throughout the school.  I know I learned a lot about horseshoe crabs (they don't pinch.)  Thank you again Mrs. Nelson.

Good-bye Tables!  Hello desks!
On Thursday night I sent an e-mail to Mrs. Buggs and Mr. Brennan asking if I could possibly trade our tables for desks in the classroom.  When I arrived at school on Friday morning, the desks were in the classroom.  Everyone was excited to have their own desk.  Thank you again Mrs. Buggs for making that possible!
