10.23.17 Classroom Experiences

Dear Families,

Week 10 has come to an end. We cannot believe that November is almost here!

Highlights From the Week:

Red Ribbon Week was a blast. Our students enjoyed listening to our guest speaker, ADD NAME, competing in the Owl coloring contest, hanging red ribbons from the fence, and decorating our door. We hope these activities help your student make good decisions in the future regarding drugs.
In Peace Education, we began on study of Habit #4: Think Win Win. We reviewed the previous habits and discussed our progress with how we are using them in our daily lives.
On Friday, we teamed up with Ms. Shanan’s Upper Elementary Class, our Mountain Lion Mentors, to discuss Day of the Dead. This holiday aligns with our study of North America. Together, our students were paired with an older student to color their own Day of the Dead Skull.
We were lucky to have Officer Child visit our classroom on Friday. Our students had a great discussion with him about Halloween Safety, when to call 911, and different uses of signs (i.e Stop, Railroad Crossing, No Biking, Walk, etc). Ask your student what they remember from our presentation.
