I will wait until tomorrow to submit the Scholastic book order. I didn't receive all the Monday envelopes this morning and I don't want you to miss your chance to order. Today students learned about the penny. They know that Abraham Lincoln is on the penny and that it is worth one cent. Mr. Besel, the school counselor, taught a lesson about being a "bully buster." He introduced the terms "victim" and "bystander."

I added a couple of events to the sidebar of the blog. One is Fuddrucker's Family Night this Thursday. If your family eats at the Fuddrucker's by Costco that night, part of the proceeds will be donated to our school. Hopefully you will feel like celebrating your child's wonderful report card that evening. I also noted the date of our 100th day of school. On that day, students may bring a collection or 100 items that will fit into a sandwich baggie. Please only send small items such as pennies, M&Ms, paper clips, beads, pebbles, etc.
