Welcome to a new school year!

Plans are underway for Octoberfest. Put Saturday, October 3rd on your calendar. There are plenty of volunteer opportunities and ways to get involved. Funds raised will be used to help add to the playground equipment.

We have a special presentation this Friday, the 4th by Randy Nadler. We have enjoyed his presentations at St. Paul's for years now. He is a retired teacher who spends his summers touring another country. During the school year, he travels to different schools and does programs about that country. Students, teachers, and parents love his programs. It begins in our gym at 1:30 and everyone is welcome to attend. This year's country is Italy.

We have begun learning about cartography in History class. Students made some wonderful mini posters showing the layers of the earth in science class.

We are reading The Leanin' Dog aloud together. We're just getting started, but the students seem to enjoy it so far. The class learned about the book report requirements this week and have begun the book challenge. I already see some books listed on the bulletin board.

Gaga ball has been an extremely popular addition to our playground. Thank you to Mr. Weber for making the pit for us. Mr. Ryan made a climbing wall that students are also enjoying. Parents have put in quite a lot of work on the playground and we are grateful!

The class received their email accounts and passwords. We will be working with our computers more and more.

God's blessings to you and your family!
