a very good deal, to all your friends and family




We began the day by taking the list we filled in yesterday and wrote and drew 10 of the things they are thankful for  in their ME.  The list included 17 things from the  smells and sounds they are thankful for to foods and people.  I am always impressed with the insightful understanding children have about themselves.

Melinda, our school counselor visited the class and took our students through the book "What is a Thought"  This picture book is a poetic and engaging book that introduces children  to the amazing, creative power within us all: thought. It is not a book about changing thoughts or changing behaviors, but rather a story to help children (and adults!) see how their own thinking creates their lives, moment to moment, day to day.




After recess the students continued on their 3d art project they began with Ms. K on Monday.  This activity takes way more time than I am used to with the older grades, however, the students are doing an amazing job so it all balances out.  You can get a view of our finished results at parent teacher interviews.



 At 1133 today the students went to music where they had a chance to play musical instruments.  Very Cool Mrs. Awalt.



After lunch we read for 25 minutes, worked on handwriting. Almost everyone is keen on handwriting and one or two students have amazing handwriting skills even for an adult, and these students are just in grade 3 and 4.







This was followed by a whole school assembly.




Great day everyone... See you tomorrow
