Our virtue for the month of June is "Thankfulness." Mrs. Traquair's message: Being thankful is appreciating the things you have and the people you care about. It is an attitude of gratitude for learning, loving and living. Focus on the good things in your life. Even when things go wrong, you can be thankful if you find the lessons to be learned. Thankfulness is being aware of the gifts in your life.

                                                    showing me how long is 1 ft

                         Ask me what happens if the scales on the wings of a butterfly get damaged..

We started number 10 and read,    Ask me to show you 10 things...

                               We went outside and collected 10 and more things....

                                    Ask me to explain my learning and my friends number...
