This BEAUTIFUL corn was what 
the class chose to make for winning the ABC Game!
Yep, they've won 3 times now!
Just a reminder, we review 25 of the 26 letters daily,
leaving 1 card out.  
They kids have to pay attention to which one it is.  
We race to a certain number..10 for the first time, then 15, now 20!
And they DID it!
The kids voted for a messy art project!
And this one was SUPER gluey!


 WOW!  I love love love these!
