 BOOK FAIR!~

Emily's mom visited us today and brought some samples of books being sold at the Book Fair.  The children are very excited about the books they saw today. 

 HANDWRITING~

Children worked on making squares in their handwriting books, emphasizing drawing lines from top to bottom and right to left.  Before making them in their books, children practiced making squares with wooden pieces.
