At Camp Floyd, we learned a lot about how the people in the military survived in 1857. We learned how fast the army men could load their muskets and cock them (20 sec). But our director loaded his musket slowly so we could see how they did it. He also fired it!  This camp is a military camp, so instead of raising our hands, the director had us stand up and salute until he saluted back. I guess that was just as normal as raising our hands in a military camp, but it was pretty weird to us!

For October, the school will be working on Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind.  On Friday, the students learned the importance of having a plan and setting goals.  A person that 'begins with the end in mind' is always prepared and thinks about the choices they make and how those choices influence their life.  If you would like to encourage the 7 Habits in your home, this month you can talk to your kids about what career they would like when they grow up.

We have such amazing second graders!  It was hard to choose who would represent our grade as students of the month for September.  The students that were chosen are doing such a good job at following school and classroom rules and being great friends.  Congratulations to: Isai Lopez, Bella Uresk, Bryce Hopkins, Brynlee West, Kami Price, Samantha Harris, Peyton Werry, Eli Oswald, Samara Aguayo, Easton Conrad, Georgia Hodges, and Corbin Robinson.  Also, congratulations to all of the students in 2nd grade who earned their bronze belt buckles for fast facts!  Great job!!
