November 5-9

Is it Fall yet? I still can't figure out what season we are in based on this weather. Someday's its cold, and some are hot! I know this from seeing all the wonderful Temperature projects that were turned in Friday. They look amazing. I learned a lot about different weather from around the globe. 

We also had Crazy Hat day Friday. The kids really enjoyed wearing their crazy or not so crazy hats.
