Today after Afternoon work time and Afternoon Meeting we opened a "mystery box" that arrived in the mail today. It turned out that it was full of Tom's of Maine toothpaste samples and a book, which we will read tomorrow. More on where the mystery box is form tomorrow!

Then we worked on reading. The kids got to swap the 'just-right' books that are in their bookbags, and had the chance to preview them as well.

After that, we headed up to the music room for our class there with Mr. Hofmann. When we got back down to our room, we finished up the book swapping, and then had math class. We played a game called Racing Bears, in which the kids practiced combining and taking numbers apart (the beginnings of addition and subtraction). When we finished math, we couldn't stand the nice weather outside anymore, and went out on the playground for the last few minutes of our day.

After all of that, it was time to pack up and head home!
