October in a Nutshell~
October in the Valley has been unexpectedly mild and beautiful! Our two Battle of the Books teams are digging in- reading, learning titles and authors, and working on getting details down for the books. They seem to be enjoying themselves, as they eagerly hurry back to Joy’s office! Our two Rocket Readers groups made great progress in their reading and spelling skills as they worked with Kim. They are anticipating the Spring session already! Mr. Bergey taught about bees and honey, with students doing hands-on activities and having fun. Families participated in a two days of learning about local homesteading farms, farming today, and harvesting a variety of local, organic vegetables. We had high school students take a practice SAT and ACT test in preparation of taking the real deal later this year. Students visited a local hair salon, learning about the business- what it takes to become a hairdresser and how to care for your hair. We also visited our Central Fire Station and learning what to do if caught in a fire. Our office participated in Red Ribbon Week, a campaign to remain and pledge to be drug free. The Wasilla Raven 4H club also kicked off the new year with guest speaker, Lee Hecimovich.
