Good Morning Nederlands

 So happy to hear from our Dutch friends. We are all very excited to hear from you. I was telling the children this morning that we are having a very Dutch fall. Up until today, it is around 10-15degrees every day. A little sun and a little rain. Usually at this time of year it is beginning to feel like winter, cold, windy, grey and sometimes snow. Today we got a few flurries and it is cold and windy. Sunday it will be 15 degrees again. Crazy weather. A town 2 hrs from us is getting 30 cm of snow today. Our teacher is very excited as she got new downhill skies and boots.
We are having a great year. Our classroom is separte from the school. It is called a portable. We are right out by the playground and we have big windows that let in lots of light. It is like being outside. We planted 6 trees this fall and added 2 big rocks to sit on outside.  Maybe you could tell the children about Sinter Klaus.

  16. Hi, Rach here!
    In the middle picture we are standing next to the trees that we planted in our school yard. We also put two rocks next to two of the trees. Do you also see the stone path at the bottom of the picture? We made that to. Maby you could do that at your school yard.

    Today we also had a special presintation from Ron Bachman. He had both of his legs amputated when he was fore years old. He then did not lie around all day, but instead he learned to respect the fact that he will never walk again. He did learn however, how to walk on his hands.
    He is 29, and his daughter is somehow 31 years old.

    Got to go to math now. By!
