Thank you so much for all of your support and encouragement for our Sound to Sea field trip. Pictures will be sent out soon. Coal received the character award for the month for being responsible. Our class voted for the student they felt exhibited this character trait and Coal and Leah received equal amounts of votes so we decided to draw a name to be fair. Leah was such a good sport, she deserves a character award for good sportsmanship! We will be doing this each month with a different character trait and the student who receives the award will be invited to lunch with Mr. Johnson or Ms. Cobb. This month's character trait is perseverance and grit. Students can receive this award for being someone who always shows this trait OR for someone who has made a lot of growth around this character trait. Congratulations to Maddie who received our first character trait of the month award for September for respect. Speaking of respect, the students will learn about Veterans Day this Monday and Tuesday to prepare for Veterans Day on Wednesday. Here is a link for you for ideas at home around the topic of Veterans Day and service to our community.
