In case you did not receive that hard copy that went home with students, here is the activities calendar for the month of September.
Two for one! Jack got a Pawsitive Call home AND it's his birthday. It was reported to Mr. Medley that Jack is a kind friend in class and encourages others. He is also helpful and responsible! He was seen picking up scraps of paper on the floor several times and throwing them away without being asked. He also did a great job leading his group in the hallway back to the classroom. Great job Jack and Happy Birthday!!

We took a field trip to the Indian Pay Station Museum in St. Marys, where the third graders learned about the history of Native American tribes in the area, along with some fascinating local history of St. Marys. A big thank you to Pam Sumner and David Steele for leading such an engaging and informative tour!
Third graders had a visit from Pam Sumner who talked about native Americans from the St. Marys area. How they lived and survived. She showed the students how they used all parts of the bison for their survival including using items like bison bones for shovels, weapons, tools, the bladder as a canteen, the pelt for clothes, blankets, and moccasins. The students then created teepees which were the type of dwelling that our local native Americans lived in.
