Today we watched Stuart Little as we have just finished reading the novel by E.B. White. We discussed differences between the book and the movie and shared our reasons for which one we liked best.  Box Tops: Our class is in 1st place so far for the month of October...turn in your sheets and collections by next Friday, October 25, for this month's contest.  Our school hasn't met the goal yet, so look ask your family and friends to help!
