Turkeys and Scarecrows and Caves, oh my!

We've been busy in the SBLC!

Our students have been excitedly preparing a Thanksgiving Program to share with you next Friday, November 18 from 2:00-2:45 in the cafeteria. An invitation will be sent home Monday, so be on the lookout!

Second graders will be going to Westcave Preserve on Tuesday, November 22. We will leave Kiker at 9:00am and return at approximately 2:00pm. Students need to bring a sack lunch and wear comfortable clothes/tennis shoes as there is a lot of walking. If you are interested in attending as a chaperone, please contact Mrs. Blake: jennifer.blake@austinisd.org.

Our scarecrow activity provided some excellent team-building opportunities! They started by making a plan and then broke into teams to construct different parts of the scarecrow. The most challenging part was figuring out how to put it all together!


 

The students really enjoyed working together to create their literary characters of choice: Willy Wonka, Dumbledore, and Athena. :)


Have a fantastic three-day weekend!

    We loved the play! Brilliant directing, casting, screenplay, props, special effects, and acting. Thank you for all of the hard work you did to make it happen.

    I learned that there are two statues of Annie Moore : 1 in the place of her departure and 1 on Elise Island.
