Tonight, Chana picked for us to go out to supper at Dairy Queen. This is definitely one of our favorite spots to eat! We also decided to stop at the gas station to pick up a few treats for class - this isn't something that we do that often, but everyone really enjoys it when we do.

We finally finished the Indiana Jones book that we have been reading since May. This was a very exciting book and Bryce did a good job of picking it out. The book was a bit more difficult for us than we had originally thought, so it took us longer to read it than planned. We started reading our 10th book, Love Comes Softly by Janette Oke. Chana picked out this new book and we are all excited to start reading it. Anne will pick our next book, so I have asked her to start thinking about what she would like to read.

Once again, our time was a bit limited tonight, so we only watched one video and did not have time for an activity. We watched the PeopleSmart video 1.3.2 and learned about how important it is to apologize to our friends when we do something wrong. We also discussed the following points:
• Breaking a promise can really hurt your friendship. Use this as a chance to deepen your friendship by apologizing to the other person.
• Some key steps to apologizing are: 1) admit your wrong; 2) apologize sincerely; and 3) do something for the person to show how much you value them.
• It can be hard to apologize sometimes, but it takes a mature person to be able to do so.

A couple of the participants wrote the following about their experiences with class tonight:

Anne: We went to Dairy Queen and we FINALLY finished our book after about 5 months!!! We are getting ready to start the next book, Loves Comes Softly. Next we learned how it’s good to apologize to people and always good to say it like you mean it. Next Tuesday, we have a guest speaker.

Emily: We want to DQ and we tick a bout keep a promes. We fish rend INDIANA JONES AND THE CRYSTAL SKULL It tick a long time Im gland we are nod with it.

Next week, we are excited to be having a guest speaker. Christina is a dietetic intern through the Center for Disabilities and she will be presenting some information on healthy eating. We will be having supper that night at McDonald's (I know - probably didn't fit well with our presentation :)!), so everyone should plan on bringing around $5 with them to pay for their meals.
