Dear Minnesota River Families,
The highlight of our week came on Friday, at Buttermilk Falls Farm. It was a day of yellowy fall colors and crisp air, and well-enjoyed outdoor activity. We planted garlic, turned an antique corn-huller, interacted with animals, decorated gourds, cast buckwheat seeds, and played with abandon in a wide-open space.
Below are attached several pictures from the event.
We continue to build community brick by brick. The children voted to begin a library check-out system, the details of which they are working out. I'll send more information when its decided for-sure. Also, Jenny, our art teacher, came and did calligraphy with us. The other lessons given this week can be found below.
Patrick and I did reading assessments this week, and we'll begin our reading program beginning October 23. Our "Literature Time" is in the afternoons. It would be great to have more reading volunteers for this time. If you are available, please sign up on the sheet that Amy Shirilla has created: www.SignUpGenius.com/go/30E054BA5AF2AA5FC1-reading

We wish you the best,
