Special Announcement!!!!!
Please Read

Dear Parents,
I have very good news to share with you. Now that I am in third grade I have been asked by several parents if I am going to continue the story nights I started in first grade. I am excited and thrilled to say that the story nights will definitely happen this year.
Our first story night will be December 14th at 5:00. To make this an easy transition for both the students and myself we are going to be reading letters to Santa. If you can remember these are no ordinary letters. These letters will contain information about why Santa crashed his sleigh and what his new sleigh will look like.
Also, your child and you will be treated to hot chocolate and a story from Mr. Williams. The new sleigh will be on display for picture opportunities. The fun doesn’t stop there because you will then be able to take part in the school wide ornament decorating night. Information about the school wide decorating night will come as soon as I have it.
In conclusion, I hope to see everyone at our first story night on December 14th at 5:00.

Sincerely,
Mr. Williams

Shawn's Thoughts about chapter 1

Today Shawn will give a quick summary about chapter one in The Mouse and the Motorcycle.
Chapter one was about new guests at the Mountain View Inn and Ralph a mouse who is adventurist. I think I will like the story because it has action and motorcycles.

If I could shrink

Today Ethan will be talking about shrinking as small as Ralph in The Mouse and the Motorcycle.

If I could shrink to Ralph's level I would play with toy cars because instead of walking I could drive everywhere.I would find a doll house, so I could hide from cats that think I am a mouse.
