Sandy Causes a Delay

A Super Storm (Sandy) hits the Northeast

Although we heard so much about this huge storm before it hit, none of us could imagine the impact it would have on so many people.  So many people have been affected by it, particularly New York and New Jersey.  The heavy rain and strong winds forced schools around the area to delay starts or cancel.  We're happy that our area was able to maintain power and avoid experiencing flooding.  Also, we were able to attend school!

During Social Studies, students were introduced to a cultural tour of East Africa, particularly the country of Kenya.  Many pictures involving foods eaten, sports played, music, dance, clothing, and schools were explored.  The students also began work on organizing for fable writing.  They will write to a specific theme using animals found in Africa as characters.
