Past, Present, Future

The past- Today we read about a historical figure, Helen Keller.  We learned about how she used Habit #1 Be Proactive and Habit #2 Begin with the end in mind! She was the first blind person to go to college!
The children learned to build their schema today.  They illustrated and labeled facts about this amazing person from the past.  The children made connections to the 5 senses and Helen Keller. We also went on a walk around the school and located braille. 

The present and future- We are starting a unit of study on economy and needs and wants.
I am looking for some speakers.  I currently have a pediatrician coming in to speak about her job. If you have a career that you would like to speak about please send me an E-mail as soon as possible.  
I have openings for 5 speakers beginning on Nov. 5th and will run on certain days until the 14th.  I can provide you with a date and time as soon as possible.  I would like for the speakers to arrive at 11:20am . Each speaker would share why they chose that career path, what tools you need to do your job, and what you love most about your job.
In years past I have had a chef, dentist, lawyer, solider, dancer, musician, photographer, police officer, electrician, artist, illustrator, author, veterinarian, custodian, and farmer.
I welcome all folks in our community. 
Without your support we will need to read it from a book, which is great, but a real person makes all the difference!
