October in Review
October brought on fall in full force. Theresa and Joan finished off their Building Blocks of Reading Workshop Series by talking about vocabulary, spelling, and comprehension with practical tools for application in the homeschool setting. Our JrFLL teams continued to meet weekly to work on the Mission Moon challenge, Spanish Club worked on action words at this month’s activity, and Chess Club had students thinking hard about the best moves to make. Our PAC meeting this month was program-wide, so we got to connect with all of the other offices to talk about topics affecting everyone. A definite highlight for October was the Enchanted Forest Book Fair where we sold 420 books and earned a lot of new books for our office library plus $883 cash to put into our student activities fund for more fun activities this school year. Another October favorite is the Salmon Education Program that DIPAC does, and the families who attended even got to do some brand new activities this year. Theresa led a STEAM activity which ended up having only girls in attendance and they had a lot of fun with each of the activity stations they did together. As usual, the police station tour had great attendance and the kids loved getting to see what the officers do there. The final hurrah this month was the Fall Costume and Craft Party. One could definitely say that there was never a dull moment in October!
