Dear Friends,

We like having Abbey visit with us.  Abbey is nice.  We sign in when we come in the classroom every morning.  Abbey signs in too.  We like to read.  Abbey likes to read too.  Abbey likes to read with reading buddies.

It has been cold in Florida but Abbey says it is not cold.

Love,
Ms. Hinchman's Class:
Deon, Christopher, Natasha, Sammy, Claire, Ejaz, Spencer, Shazim, Danny, Chris, Iulia, Chrissy, Michael, Naomi, David, Yamilet, Lance, Samantha

Dear Class,

I am so excited.  I love being in Orlando, FL!  It is a beautiful sunny day.  I should have packed my bathing suit and I could return home abrowner pup!

The most exciting thing is that we just watched the shuttle launch on the TV then we walked outside and could see it in the sky!  It makes a bright white glow in the sky and leaves a long trail of smoke.

I have to go.  We are making top hats, graphing heads and tails of a penny flip and log cabins for Lincoln's birthday.   Kindergarten is a very busy place!

Love,
Abbey
