FYI

A quote lifted from Room 11 Blog from a previous year:

"FYI: I read a book about Santa Mouse (a treasury from my childhood) to the children. A child asked me after I finished story 2 the other day, "Are you sure that's true?" Hmm....So the legend goes, that if you should happen to find a small (tiny) gift tucked somewhere in your tree, perhaps tied with a yellow bow, then you will know that Santa Mouse has been to your house. *Shrugs* I don't know, it's just what I heard. Who knows how these stories get started?"

The same book was read again this year. The comments were quite different than in the past and varied. A debate ensued. The teacher neither confirmed nor denied the accuracy or truth to any of the claims made in the book or the comments made by the students. The management would simply like to advise all tree displayers to carefully check the branches of their holiday trees before proper disposal or storage for any possible gifts wrapped with a yellow ribbon.

Math test statistics are forthcoming.
