Lifeskill Report
We have been working on the Lifeskill of Responsibility. We have been learning to take responsibility for our work, our personal things, and our actions. A Responsibility activity which can be done at home would be: Have your child make a checklist of what needs to done after school (i.e. homework, chores, activities). Post the checklist in an easily viewed area, so your child can see it and check it off as jobs are completed.

Reminders
Homework is due every Friday unless otherwise indicated. Reading Logs are due on Mondays at the latest and are part of homework. The only way your child will become a better reader is with practice.

Book Report
The Tale of Desperaux by Kate Di Camillo. This is the book we are currently reading aloud in class. We are hoping to have it finished before the movie comes out in December. It is a story of a mouse who wants to be a knight and protect Princess Pea. It is also the story of rat named Roscuro who wants the light of the castle instead of the dark dungeon. It is also the story of Miggery Sow who is a serving girl with a sad story and an impossible wish.
