Bruno Upper EL Classroom

We had a lot of activities packed into one week. The Fall Festival was a huge hit! Thank you to the students and families who were able to attend and who supported the event. Students reported they had so much fun! Mr. Fox, Mr. Zech, Mr. Dana, and Mr. Jonathan were great sports for agreeing to sit in the dunk tank and students were excited to have a chance to “dunk” them. A big thank you to our upper elementary room parent, Gisela, for managing yet another wonderful Fall Festival. Also, a big thanks to all of the families and staff who helped organize, set/clean up, and oversee activities for everyone to enjoy.

Primary through middle school were fortunate to view a rehearsal of the play, James and the Giant Peach. About half of our upper elementary class is in the play, and they performed fantastically. Students who watched their classmates perform watched respectively and were supportive of their friend’s performances. Students who were not part of the rehearsal remained in class and we hosted a tap in/out improv. This week we also had a second picture day, due to last week’s scheduled day being postponed due to rain. Everyone smiled bright and cheery for our class photo and their individual shots.

We continue to promote positive discipline as a part of our school and class culture. Mr. Fox has been heading our Compassion Cube and Grievance Gobblet. Students have been responding well to complimenting and thanking one another in the Compassion Cube. Students have been coming up with great solutions during our morning meeting in regards to the problems placed in the Grievance Goblet.
