			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been a busy month in the Rock-its classroom. We spent the first two weeks getting to know each other, making nametags, posters and decorating binder covers. The students have now settled in to a daily routine of Mind Gym, word of the day, spelling word of the week and writing prompts.</p>
<p>During the month of October our theme was &#8220;autumn.&#8221; The Rock-its had the opportunity to complete the following prompt, “If I could make it rain anything except water, what would it rain? How would this rain affect people and the environment?” Ask your child how they responded; each of them had creative and fantastic ideas.</p>
<p>In addition, the Rock-its have been hard at work illustrating and creating pages for a book we are writing. Our book is titled &#8220;Filling the Bucket 101: Easy Ways to Fill a Bucket&#8221; and is inspired by the book &#8220;<a href="www.amazon.com/Have-You-Filled-Bucket-Today/dp/0978507517">Have You Filled a Bucket Today?: A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids</a>,&#8221; by Carol McCloud. The students have worked hard and are looking forward to sharing the book with parents/guardians on November 13, at the <a href="http://blogs.4j.lane.edu/meadowlarkace/2007/10/31/family-pizza-party/">ACE Family Pizza Party</a>.</p>
<p>Our theme for the month of November is &#8220;gratitude.&#8221; Watch for information about our gratitude projects in the next posting.</p>
