Our Buddies

The girls of 9B were so excited to meet their Sixth Age buddies on Tuesday afternoon.  The girls brought some of their favorite books to share with their new buddies, and everyone contributed to our thumb print pumpkin patch.

Halloween

Today was an exciting day at school. The girls started off with a costume parade which was immediately followed by our Halloween celebration.  Even with the excitement of the day, the girls were able to get some quality work finished as well!

The Greek Gods and Goddesses

The auditorium at school was the place to be yesterday!  The Greek gods and goddesses traveled all the way to Calvert for a visit. Although we had many gods and goddesses right from Mt. Olympus, we did have quite a few modern day gods and goddesses visit!

Our Thought Bubbles

In reading class we have been learning about metacognition.  The boys and girls now know that this really means we are "thinking about our thinking."  To really practice our thinking, we had one student read aloud while the other did the thinking. We learned that thinking out loud is a great deal of fun, especially when you get to wear a bright orange thought bubble!
