2nd round: table team "1" vs table team "2"
3rd round: Boys vs. Girls
Here's a picture of us working hard to calculate the largest number...
We had the cards 2,3,7,9....

Travel Log
We are starting a fun new project for second semester!
It will help us learn about many different places.
Today we filled out the initial letter. (They are all stacked up on our table in the classroom ready to go!)
Tonight all you need to do is write the name and address of ONE person you know living out of our area (examples: Chicago, St. Louis, California, Florida, and so on) on ONE stamped envelope.
Please use the school's address as the return address....
Gardner Elementary
1 Ed Gardner Place
Waterloo, IL 62298
As soon as your child returns the envelope to me, I will mail it off! :)
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
