This year the Sarge is taking a long trip outside the United States to go to the Olympics in China. He will send us postcards from his travels. Each week he will write us from a different place. Look for his postcard in the library or online each week and see if you can guess where in the world he is! Put your guesses in the Cat’s Hat and we will draw each week for prizes. Remember, we draw only correct answers! Where WAS the Sarge? Click HERE for answers to last weeks clue. |
