It is so good to be back. I spent my first days of vacation fighting off a 101 fever and flu for 5+ days. Therefore it was easy to be grateful and thankful when the Thanksgiving gathering happened since I was by Thursday back to the living “normal.”.
I was also grateful to have spent so many great meetings with all of the students and their parents. It so dynamic and helpful to see the students interact with their loved ones and see how communication and caring gets displayed within each family.
P.E. today.
Lewis and Clark today -- the group is heading home. They are in a cranky mood. I asked the kids to think about it similar to their experience driving down to Disneyland. The drive there is usually fun and full of excitement. The drive back the students are probably asleep, tired and just ready to sleep at home again. Well that is what the Corp of Discovery was feeling.
The Corp also slapped an Indian for trying to steal their supplies, Lewis threatened to burn down an entire Indian village unless they returned Seaman, and Lewis shot and killed two Blackfoot warriors.

We read this story.
About a group of high school football players that band together to protect a mentally challenged student and keep her from being bullied.
Plan out and prepare for the rest of the week.
Many students were choosing not to use this time wisely this week, therefore a “pop-quiz” was given out on the events that we discussed throughout the day.
Wednesday is a collaboration day therefore the day ends at 1:50
December 6th at 8:30 is coffee with Ms. McGovern for all parents
Readathon begins on December 13th!!
