We had a visit from the Cow. The class loved it.
The class has been using the computers to type their stories they are writing. The are great at using Technology. I have been really please at how excited they are and how great of listeners they are.

In September, we had the Youth singer's from Uganda come sing and dance at Bell View. The class absolutley loved the performance. They did a great job!.

I just want to apologize for the delay of getting things posted on the blog. Things get crazy in the classroom. I just want to give you an update of what has been going on in the classroom. Also, a list of upcoming things coming up.
This past week was vehicle day. The class loved it. I asked them what their favorite vehicle was and they all had a different favorite.
