Happy Veterans Day!

Two Veterans shared their experiences with us today.  We were honored to have an Army wheel mechanic and an Army aviation mechanic share with us their jobs, deployment stories, and thoughts about Veterans Day. 

They explained to us how the military is fighting for our Constitution and our freedom.  Veterans Day helps us to remember to honor the men and women that serve and do more for our country.  They also shared with us the "The Solider's Creed."  Students repeated the following lines and were able to connect the creed to what they do everyday.

I will always place the mission first.  

(I will always do my school work first.)

I will never accept defeat.  

(I will always do my best.)

I will never quit. 

(I will never give up.)

I will never leave a fallen comrade.  

(I will always help a friend.)

Remember on this Veterans Day and everyday to 

thank a Veteran!

HAPPY VETERANS DAY!

Scooping up the candy corn WITHOUT using hands!  Trickier than they thought it would be!

Pumpkin Life Cycle

To help celebrate the Fall season, Mrs. Marks, our student teacher, taught the different stages of the pumpkin.  By creating a craft that represents the different stages, students learned how pumpkins grow. 

We also had the opportunity to taste pumpkin.  Surprisingly, all of the students tried the steamed pumpkin.  And not surprisingly, the students did not especially like the taste of plain pumpkin.  When we added the cinnamon and sugar, some of them actually liked the taste of the pumpkin.
