Room 120 We worked hard to make this our BEST YEAR EVER! Here’s how…

Before school started, our team did.

We pulled weeds to clean up the DODC.

We wrote letters to soldiers in Iraq.

We welcomed a visitor from Lesotho, South Africa. Remember the Lesotho S-P-O-O-N?.

We sent love to a sick little boy here. Noah Biorkman Passes Peacefully Family Receives Thousands Of Cards From Strangers November 23, 2009

We learned about a stranger who is doing good things for others…and we decided to help him…

…so we collected hats and gloves…

…and we collected games…

…then school supplies…

…then books…

…and finally we went there to help him help others.

We played a little that day too!

Meanwhile, we made some penpals in Texas.

We learned about a neat music group who spreads peace and love across the world, just like we can do…and we got to talk to their frontman, Grandpa Elliott!

And the whole time we learned together, shared together, had fun together…we were the examples.
