re: Pluto for Mr. M

Dear Mr. MacLaughlin,

We wanted to comment about your comment, but our bloggers have been pressed for time.(We love getting your comments.)So, we've nominated our fasted typer to tell you what we think.

We know that some people consider Pluto a planet and some people do not. Second grade is divided on this issue. Some of think Pluto is a planet. Some of us think it's a comet. Some of us aren't sure. It makes us question what makes a planet a planet! The fact that Pluto is unlike the other outer planets (we're very good at identifying patterns and relationships thanks to our morning analogies...and general quest to make sense of the world) and has an orbit more like a comet than the other planets makes us wonder. We all agree if Pluto IS a planet, it's very unlike the other planets.

What do YOU think?

Dear Eliana,

We were thinking of you today. We know that you are celebrating Thanksgiving in America. We celebrated today, too. We all made a soup together. We invited grades 4/5 to our room and they brought popcorn! We had many Thanksgiving activities. We've really enjoyed learning about the Pilgrims, their journey to a new country and how they made that country their home.

We had a great day! We hope you have a great Thanksgiving, too.
