In social studies we have been learning about civic ideals and practices like following laws and voting. We have also learned about some of our important American symbols such as The American Flag, The Liberty Bell, The Statue of Liberty, the Bald Eagle, the White House, Veterans Day and Remembrance Day. As we move into the holiday season, we will discover more about Native Americans and holidays around the world. This will naturally lead toward discussions of wants versus needs. Speaking of needs, Kindergarten and Pre K are partnering with CAMO Animal Rescue for our community service project this year. I recently adopted my puppy, Tucker, from this wonderful organization. He was left in a dumpster with his mom and three other newborn siblings. CAMO stepped up to rescue the little family, care for all of their medical needs and find them all loving, “furever” families. Since Hurricane Harvey hit our area, CAMO has doubled the number of animals in their care. They have several immediate needs including over-the counter flea and tick medication, small and medium dog beds, puppy training pads, small collars, and chew toys and treats for small dogs. We will be collecting items until November 15. When the director comes to CTL to pick up our donations, she will bring a rescue dog to thank us at a Morning Meeting! We have a goal of collecting 75 items. Let’s smash that goal! 8
