Isaac Tells about the Food Drive

We are making posters for the food and coat drive. I learned a fact yesterday from someone who came from Legacy of Giving to tell us about the kids and people who go to the food bank. I couldn't believe that almost half the families that go to the food bank have to choose between paying the bills or buying food. We need to put in more coats and food so they can pay the bills AND have food.

We also learned that 20,000 kids are served each week by the food bank. That's why we need to give food.   We need to give them coats too to make it through winter nights. So that's why we need to help them.

I will try to bring my extra coats and some food. I will encourage my mom to buy some food from HEB so we can give it to them.

We've Been Talking Tall Tales

Paul Bunyan and Babe, to be exact. It tied in beautifully with our Social Studies study of landforms, too!

We discovered that revising our writing can be fun too - getting a fresh look at a piece and a fresh piece of paper can dramatically improve an old piece...and we are working towards publishing before Thanksgiving.
