| What is a phone booth? |
We had the pleasure of a quick pretend visit to England to compare customs, money and learn some useful information about Britain. James' mom was born in the United Kingdom and was kind enough to come in with her official passport as well as some fun facts! Below are a few moments she captured; most were shots of us marveling over her stamp collection as a child. We learned that England had the first stamp and post office- and they also started the tradition of sending postcards. We then made some cards for family and designed our own stamps. Best of all James' mom brought in crackers- a surprise toy that is hidden in a paper "cracker" that you pull apart with a "crackle pop." Out comes a paper crown plus a toy! Everyone felt that was the best custom ever!

Every Thursday that we can, we get together to play math games, read and sometimes share stories we have written with our 5th grade buddies in Mr. Choate's class. Soon our buddies are going to teach us how to count in Chinese!
Many students pick this as their favorite time of all. It is great to see the bond that happens over time with these partners.
