A big thank you goes to all who took the time to stop by for Open House!  Mrs. Doman, Miss Albitz, and I enjoyed visiting with all of you, and the students loved sharing what they are anticipating in the year ahead.  A couple of the slides above were taken at Open House. 

Today, Language Arts classes enjoyed their first cafe of the year!  Our menu for the lesson began with a bit of soup.  Students worked together to pick the letters from their soup bowls to spell words from this week's spelling list, as they were called.  They were polite, even though they were picking through the soup with their fingers! No soup was spilled on the table!  Each group displayed great teamwork!

After I modeled my own roles, the Taste Testing on the menu, students began their discussions based on the roles they prepared for class.  I was so impressed by their table manners!  They kept "cafe level" voices, took turns speaking, and really had a lot to offer during their discussions.  Delicious drinks were enjoyed (thanks, Robbie). Some students asked when they could continue their reading!  This was music to my ears. The slides above give a glimpse of cafe.

In Social Studies, Miss Albitz continued her lessons about the geography of Africa.  The students should continue to review the notes she's providing with her lessons.
