October News

We have started our "Steps to Respect" program. This is a 9 week program sponsored by Catholic Social Services to teach about bullying. Some of the topics will be friendship, what is the difference between bullying and conflict, what bullying behaviors are, what to do if you are bullied, when to report, and many more. This should have a positive effect on our classroom behavior.

We are finishing our projects on Native Americans and will begin the Exploration of the Americas in a week or two.

The best news is that I am going to be a first time grandma. Tina and George are expecting a girl in March.
