This Week's Outing

We went to see a bank yesterday on a new city bus. A bank employee told us about buying a house or car with a loan and getting our own bank account. He talked about debit cards and showed us a deposit slip as well as telling us about their policy on reducing paper use. Then we went to the donut shop. We ate some delicious donuts and drank some coffee. The donut shop was more exciting than the banking experience.

Last Week's Outing

We made a long, very interesting trip on the city bus last week to Mimi's. We had lunch at the bus stop. Thank goodness for the beautiful weather.

Election Day

Today is November 3. Today is election day. We went for a walk to the DPS Office. We got an application and information on how to get a State ID card. The cost is $15. You need two documents showing your identification such as a report card, birth certificate, or social security card. We also got a voter registration application. Then we went to a voting precinct at the Westwood gym. A man talked to us and told us how to vote. He gave us a sample voting ballot. We voted on where to go to eat. Taco Bell won. We came back to the classroom and made guacamole. We tasted everyone's recipe and the staff voted for the best. Philip's guacamole won. He put an avocado, pepper, salsa and garlic powder in it. Yum Yum! We decided to have a cake contest next week. Then we cleaned up our room. Today was fun!
