It's November!

I trust that everyone is busy enjoying their extra hours today. I relished mine so much, I was still almost late for church this morning! If anyone has pictures of themselves in costume from the weekend, send them to me and I will post them here on the blog!

As you hopefully know, students do not report to school on Tuesday because of the election. So many of our schools are polling precincts, it is a safety issue to have so many people coming and going while students are present. I trust that everyone will go out and vote (if you have not already taken advantage of early voting.) Students will have a homework assignment for Tuesday that will involve them following the election returns. That will go home along with a detailed explanation tomorrow.

We will begin a coached project this week at school. As a part of the Paideia philosophy, coached projects are completed almost entirely at school, so hopefully parents won't have to stress out about it. We are going to write letters to community workers to learn about the jobs they do and their importance to our communities. Later on the students will dress up as their community worker and present their information. Depending on technology difficulties, I hope to have these projects digitally recorded. We shall see!

Anyhow, have a great day--it's beautiful outside and the Titans just won!--and a wonderful week! Don't forget to send in those costume pictures!
