Happy Monday Morning Second Grade!

I hope that you had a great weekend. I will be traveling all day Monday and I hope that I will be back to see you on Tuesday morning. Tonight is the last night of the Olympic Games for 2008. The closing ceremonies are starting in about 1 hour Beijing time. I will not be going... the tickets are very expensive, but I hope to watch it on T.V. like you and maybe see some fireworks from the stadium. Mrs R. said you wondered why the workers marched to work. I really don't know why, it was something I wondered about too. My guess is that the Chinese people are trying very hard to make a good impression on the world. They like things neat and orderly and I think it is just their way of doing things well. I wish that I would had bought a Popsicle like I took a picture of so I could taste it, but I didn't. I looks like it would melt, but I am not sure. I haven't been able to find out much about their school system yet, but I am working on it! I am excited to come back home and see all of you. I have lots more pictures and stories to share with you. See you very soon!!
