We have also had one lesson from Mr. Blase. He talked with the children about being a school counselor.
Next week we will talk about friendship. Our reading for the week is, "The only way to have a friend is to be one." Ralph Waldo Emerson. I will do my best to help the children reflect on this quote and sort out it's meaning.
I am so excited that the author of the Bruce books is coming to Westchester to speak to us next Friday. Mrs. Nation has read the books when the children visited her in the Media Center, but I plan on reading them all again next week. This author visit is in conjunction with the start of the Decatur Book Festival. Maybe you can look at the schedule and see an amazing author or two.
Please know that your children are each so precious to me. We are having such fun getting to know one another. My job is the absolute best! I heard about several camping trips coming up this weekend and can hardly wait to hear about these adventures. Have a fabulous weekend.
