Today after Morning work time and Morning Meeting we caught up on our Flat Stanley mail. We had a pretty decent pile, and we all got to see the fun things that have come in from all over the country. After we spent some good time reading our mail, we read an Amelia Bedelia book, and then 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, Maddie's mom came in to do our Bravo lesson for the day. The kids learned about a Minneapolis composer (Libby Larson) - they listened to two songs (Collage Boogie and Mr. Bell's Boogie) and then made a paper and fabric collage. When we finished with Bravo, we went up to the computer lab for our time there. When we got back down to our room, we read a book that came in the mail today in a "mystery package" full of toothpaste from Tom's of Maine. Leah solved the mystery for us when she said that her grandmother had arranged for a friend to send the little samples to us. The book came with it, and is called I Lost a Tooth in Africa.

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