We watched the Little House on the Prairie movie today. Kids were sure quiet when it got to the parts where Albert made some pretty surprising choices. We made a HUGE list of all the people that were effected by Albert's choice to use the drug Morphine. The list was 20 people long!!!! Then I asked them to take out the name Albert in the title of our poster: Albert effected whom? Then I asked them to replace the name Albert with their own name. Who would be effected by them? Would their list be longer than 20? That kinda brought it home. Today was a very powerful day!!!!
We enjoyed slipping past drugs today by wearing our slippers. Ask your child which slipper belongs to Ms. Erickson. If they can tell you write the color of it in the planner for $20 tomorrow.
Tomorrow is Drugs stink, wear pink. Kids are encouraged to wear as much pink as possible. It is also Pack the Place in Pink night at Skyview!!! What a great way to promote drug free and breast cancer free lives. Three students, Natalie, Tyson, and Daniel won free t-shirts today in class by doing random acts of kindness and one of their classmates wrote it on a slip. Their slips were drawn from the bucket of many!!! WooHoo!!! It pays off to be kind to others...ALWAYS!
This morning we had a special guest speaker, Katy from New York. She was from a small city up by the Great Lakes area. If your child can tell you the name of the city write it in the planner for another bonus $ tomorrow! We sure learned a lot about our NE region. We will be hearing from others next week from Connecticut and Maine as well. Fun!!! Test is Friday...yes like in 2 days!!!
Have a great night!
