Carla's Sandwich

This week we read the book Carla's Sandwich and talked about how boring life would be if everyone looked the same, acted the same, ate the same things or even read all the same books. Life is interesting because of variety!

Click on the cover of the book above to watch a video of this story on Storyline Online.

So far this year, Orchard students have logged 577,710 minutes on Road To Success. When we reach 1 million minutes, Mrs. Morley is going to eat a sandwich (Carla style) of your choosing for her lunch. Vote which "Carla" sandwich you think Mrs. Morley should eat on the right. Whatever sandwich has the most votes when we have logged 1 million minutes is the sandwich Mrs. Morley has to eat for her lunch.

Giving Tuesday

Have you heard of Giving Tuesday?

We've just celebrated Thanksgiving, and had Black Friday and Cyber Monday. 

#GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, 

when you can take time to focus on the upcoming holidays and how you can give.

What will you give this holiday season?

#LIGHTTHEWORLD

Sharing a book you've read is a great way to give to others!

What are you thankful for?

I am thankful for the resources that we have today that help me to learn about things I am interested in. I am who I am today because of the people and events that have come before.
