FALL!!!


What a wonderful time of year! The leaves are turning and the apples are ripe! Enjoy this beautiful artwork that now hangs in our classroom!
A work in progress
Students could color in shades and tints of GREEN


or RED

Most of the group! "How 'bout then apples!"
We are working on learning more about the "Leader in Me" characteristics. This month the trait is "Be Proactive". We are learning that we have the power to lead and be great examples. Being proactive means taking conscious control over your life, setting goals and working to achieve them. Instead of reacting to events and waiting for opportunities, you go out and create your own events and opportunities.
Erika Thurston (Natalie's mom) comes into our room once a month and does an activity with us to help us learn these traits. Today she read us a book and then talked about "Helping Hands". We can choose to be helpful and that is part of being proactive! Thanks Mrs. Thurston for coming in and sharing your knowledge with us!
This turned out better than I planned! A BIG thank you to Brooklyn Best who volunteers at the school. Even though she is not a parent of a student in our class, she still helped me make this trunk!
