October News

What a wonderful first week of October! We had so much fun. We celebrated Walk-to-School Day by walking together for over a mile, and, I must say, it was great to see the whole school out there enjoying the autumn splendor together as me move toward being more physically fit! We loved our trip to the Dome Theatre, feeling more like we were on a theme-park ride than sitting on our own gymnasium floor! I especially loved the trip through the volcanoes... ok, maybe I was feeling a little nauseated at that point, but it was still an awesome ride! And, it leads us right into our Sun-Moon-Earth unit! We also successfully performed a musical, Stone Soup, directed by our elementary music teacher, Mrs. Nesta. We especially loved "Grandma" Dalton's rendition of the waltz! Now that made me laugh so hard that my sides hurt!
We are looking forward to further fun this month as we team up with our buddies in K-108. We will have lots of fun reading and doing activities with them. We will also celebrate Apple Crunch Day on October 22. Then, we will be ending our month with a week-long celebration of Red Ribbon Week, passing on a strong anti-drug message to the students that will hopefully make an impact on the decisions that they choose to make in their futures. That will be a week filled with theme days, so be sure to dress the part!
Looking forward to a great October!
