Parents,
You are welcome to leave a comment/question on any post! When you do, you can use your own email address – it only gets sent to me and no one else sees it online. The kids use a fake email address to comment because they are not given real ones at school.

Holiday Traditions
Dec 4th
You will notice that we have more people visiting our blog! Mr. Lund, a teacher in Illinois, left us a comment about our earthquake drill. When I visited his blog, I noticed that they were discussing holiday traditions. I think that is a fun topic, and left a comment there! Do you have any holiday traditions at home that you look forward to? Please tell us about them in the comments!
