I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! It is hard to believe that it is already Christmas. December is always a very busy month here at Keystone.

Today in reading class, we will be starting the book called The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. It is a wonderful story about the awful Herdman children who discover the true meaning of Christmas. Every year the students are entertained by trouble the Herdmans get into. It is a book that they won't want to put down.

In Social Studies we are starting chapter 5 called The Birthplace of Independence. We will be learning about the French and Indian War and how the colonists won their independence from Great Britain.
