Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!  We hope that you all find lots of things to be thankful for this holiday season.  Over the last two weeks fourth graders here at BGS have been sponsoring a food drive for the Reno County Food Bank.  We collected 401 items!  We're very proud that we are getting to help other people!  While we were collecting food we kept track of how much food we got each day.  We'll use this data to learn about mean, median, mode, and range after break.

We are starting a special project called "Postcard Geography."  Our goal is to receive at least one postcard from each state in the U.S.A.  You can learn more about our project, and keep track of our progress, by looking at the page on our blog called "Postcard Geography."  If you or someone you know could help us out by sending a card, we would be thrilled.  We are also encouraging parents to forward Ms. J's email about our project, and to share it on facebook.  We're excited to see how social media can reach lots of people from all over the place!
