What a GORGEOUS Weekend!!!

5B, I sure hope you were able to enjoy this amazing weather we're having in OCTOBER!!! I think last year at this time, there may have been a few snow flurries. So, take advantage of the amazing sunshine and 75 degree temperatures in the middle of October.

Hopefully, you shared with your parents our fall celebration and team building activity from Friday. The students from the video needed a lot of practice and practice to be as strong as they were to exhibit Cadet Pride (well, I guess in their case it was Titan Pride). We saw many mistakes and examples of disrespect as well. Think about how you felt about some of those bad actions. Do you want to be sharing that same way of thinking?? I know that I don't. Let's keep working on our Cadet Pride this week like every week and participate in Character Counts Week activities.

Character Counts Activities - to start off the week...
Monday - Yellow for Respect Hat Day
**Bring in a non-perishable food item any day this week, but Tuesday is the "official" Caring Day.

Our Spanish Skype Buddy has been so impressed with our class. Senorita Rachel said she looks forward to our visits each week. Since some of you seem so excited and interested in learning Spanish, I have a special treat for you. Anyone who is SERIOUSLY interested in learning more Spanish, write your first and last name on a post-it note and hand it to me on Monday morning.

I'll know you checked the blog this weekend, if you can translate a Spanish word into English. Use the website at the left side of the post. Type in the Spanish word in the box. You can even listen to it by clicking on the speaker button below. The English word will show up to the left.
Spanish word: el orgullo
Whisper what this word means in my ear as you enter the classroom tomorrow.

Can't wait to see your hats and yellow tomorrow! Remember, it's a 3-hour early out also!
