Family Fun Day Activity #1
Who Is Telling the Truth
Everyone will get an index card. You will write your name on the top of the card. You will then write something about yourself that nobody in the room knows about you.
- It can be totally random
- It can be something present or past
- It can be something that no one would ever guess about you
I will then gather the cards up.
- I am going to call 3 people up
- 1 of the 3 will be the person on the card
- I will show all 3 people the card and give them 20 seconds to read it and think about it
- I will then read the statement on the card to everyone else
And then all 3 people will take turns explaining how that is their card – so they will come up with a story about what it says on the card
Each person then votes on who they think the right person is
Then the correct person will step forward
The winner receives a prize.

- brainstorm and investigate social issues that they can address in their communities and world.
- take action through service and social activism.

VOCABULARY:
service: to provide a community or organization with something that it needs
donate: to give or present something, especially to a charitable organization or other good cause
paying it forward: the concept of asking that a good turn be repaid by having it done to others

The LEC Cheer Squad Yard Sale is being held on Saturday, November 17 in our own LEC parking lot from 7AM to 2PM. If you or friends or family have ANY items that you would be willing or able to donate to our Fundraiser event, that would be FANTASTIC! Your trash is our TREASURE. Our goal is to $ell items from $0.25 to $20+. Mr. Lockard is collecting any contributions. Proceeds from the yard sale go to the Cheer Squad to purchase "real" poms & practice mats.

Don’t forget to buy your Spooky Sweets! You may buy between Wednesday, October 10th and Friday, October 26th. For $4.00, you get a candy bar of your choice, a gift, and a card with a personalized message. For one dollar more, your message will be read to the entire school on the announcements. The $7 Mega Gram gets you all of the above plus you and your guest will get out of class to hang out and play games at a party on Halloween from 2-2:45! *See Mrs. Testa for details*

"CULTURE DOES NOT CHANGE BECAUSE WE DESIRE TO CHANGE IT. CULTURE CHANGES WHEN THE ORGANIZATION IS TRANSFORMED; THE CULTURE REFLECTS THE REALITIES OF PEOPLE WORKING TOGETHER EVERY DAY."Hesselbein
Let's Get to Know Ourselves Better!
1. REVIEW _ JOURNAL WRITTING ASSIGNMENT -
The People of the Waterfall
In your “Wellness Journal,” under today’s date, record your answer to the above question. Be sure to address each aspect of the folklore using complete sentences and correct grammar. Pay special attention to the question, “Why don’t we go upstream and see why these people are falling in?” and how it speaks into the concept of prevention rather than remedial treatment.
- We will have an indepth discussion on this tomorrow in class. Please be prepared!
- Since I do not read your journal, this is the only way I can give you a grade on this assignment.
- We will have a type of "Socratic Seminar" .
2. What is Culture? Do we have any?
Reading - What is Culture?
Reading Response - Please complete this sheet and return to me via email
Journal Entry: Please complete the prompt in your journal.

I was told about this website by my daughter who lives in MI, it is awesome. I was and am looking for ideas for our Christmas get together (family) and needed something that would fit all ages. Thanks so much for all the effort you go to, so us dummy’s have a resource. Will log on quite often. Also loved your chocolate gummy bear idea for neighbors.
Every year the age group of our cousins (9-13 girls, 9-13 boys, 4-7 boys, all the teenagers) go to a family’s house to spend 2-3 nights together I am going tomorrow (we call it cousin camp) and thought this game would be great and really fun! Thanks
