We just started "Marc Brown Month." There are so many Arthur books that we just didn't think one week would be long enough, so we are going to spend closer to a month reading books by Marc Brown. We read Arthur's Halloween today. We also colored Arthur Halloween pictures before our fall party. During the time students had to color, one girl came up to me and asked if I believe in ghosts. I answered with a thoughtful "No, I don't think so." Her reply to me, "Oh yes there is such a thing as ghosts. We contact them at recess."

Returning from the second grade field trip to
Merry Lea, the buses went by an area south of Nappanee that was damaged in Thursday's tornado. While the damage is heart breaking, it was heart warming to see hundreds of Amish people gathered helping their neighbors in the clean up effort. Many students wrote more in their journals about the tornado than about the field trip. -Mr. Gall
