Very interesting...

Yesterday we attended an assembly about the 6 Pillars of Character. Our guest speaker was Miss Illinois. Here is a link to an article that appears in today's Southtown:
Miss Illinois to students: Character Counts

She was very interesting to listen to, as she related stories from her own childhood that illustrated the different pillars.

Today, in Reading, we read a story called, Train to Somewhere. This historical fiction described a trip on an Orphan Train. The children were very interested in the information they read. Here is a link for further exploration:
Orphan Train

The children received their Social Studies passwords today. We taped them into the assignment notebooks and we wrote down the web address for the Social Studies series.

Question for a ticket tomorrow:
In your assignment notebook, write the names of the six Pillars of Character.
