There were several special things that happened this week as well. We went to the computer lab for the first time on Thursday, and we attended a bus safety lesson, where the kids practiced jumping out of the back of the bus in case of an emergency. Sra. Moore, the school counselor, taught a lesson about what it looks like to be a "bucket filler" (being kind, being a good friend, listening well, etc.), and Sra. Scheid, the literacy coach, came in and talked about being a good reader. She explained how they have two superpowers - reading and speaking in Spanish. They were beside themselves with excitement to learn about their "new powers." =] I was thrilled to watch all of my students diligently striving to be good readers during reading time. A few of them asked me, "Sra. Lindsey, did you see the smoke coming out of my brain because I was thinking so hard?!"
Here is a copy of the October snack calendar:

I sent an order form home in your child's folder this past week, but I will be sending an extra one home on Monday in case you misplaced yours. If you would like to order pictures, please return the form to school by Wednesday. Every child will have their picture taken on Wednesday, so everyone will appear in our class photo.
