We will hopefully be finishing up the book study Jumanji by Friday. We have taken the book and transformed it into a book called Georgia. We changed the animals to be Georgia animals and people in our school. I am very impressed at all the kids hard work:)

We have finished our book study on Just a Dream. I hope your child better understands pollution, recycling, and the importance of being aware of our part in helping the environment. Our next book study will be Jumanji. We will be taking the book and making it into a Georgia animal book:) Our book will be posted as soon as it is complete.
