SPOOKY GLOW IN THE DARK SKELETONS!








TWO MORE PICTURES FROM 4 WINDS!


4 WINDS and EATING DIRT!

The other day we had our first 4 Winds class. Jada and Becky came in and taught us about the forest floor. We had a scavenger hunt and even ate "dirt and worms". See the November Calendar for more information on 4 Winds.

FILLING BUCKETS WITH KINDNESS!


Today our class read the book above. It is a book about "filling" peoples' invisible buckets with kindness (actions and words). Each one of us carries around an invisible bucket that hopefully is filled by others or by ourselves (when we do something kind). There are also bucket dippers who try to dip out of our buckets and steal our good feelings and thoughts. We are practicing being bucket fillers and are doing a great job so far! I HIGHLY recommend checking this book out of a library or buying this book to have around. It is a wonderful way to remind EVERYONE about how kindness can make someones day! Please ask your child about this book and brainstorm ways you all can be bucket fillers! Have you filled a bucket today?
