This morning we had vision screening in the library. Students were very well behaved and did a great job. Mrs. Swan taught a science lesson on Fall leaves and taught students to classify leaves by color, type of leaf, and by size. Students colored their own leaves and tree and independently classified leaves.

We read The Colors of My World at story time. The story was told in English and in Spanish. I did my best to recall 2 years of high school Spanish (many years ago) to read the Spanish portion. Students learned to say colors in Spanish and at the end of the day, I called students to get their backpacks by saying their table color in Spanish. They are tri-lingual, at least with colors--English, Spanish, and American Sign Language!

We had 6th grade visitors this afternoon. They read the book Diary of a Worm and then shared with us stories they had written based on the book. Their stories were imaginative, but many of the jokes were over our heads.
