~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ask your child what our virtue of the month is. Hopefully, they will say "responsibility"!
We read the story "Lily's Purple Plastic Purse" and discussed how the character could show responsibility. The students also wrote the word in their journals. These examples are from Cambree and Vincent!

Thanks to all of you who volunteered to help our class! No activities or events have been planned yet. When the time comes, our classroom mom, Mrs. Volker, will help me reach out to those of you who expressed interest in volunteering.
