Team Jack

 

The K-3^rd grades show their support for Team Jack with ‘High 5 Friday.’  It is so awesome to hear one if not more of my students pray for Jack every morning.

Recent Happenings

Here are a few updates of things we have been doing in school. 

We celebrated our first birthday for the year at the end of August. Happy Birthday!

 

Grandparents Day was September 9 and to honor our grandparents each student made a heart with their handprints.  After the paint dried everyone wrote a poem around the heart.  We then worked are addressing envelopes to get them sent in the mail. 

 

The kids enjoyed practicing their spelling words by painting them fall colors of red, orange, and yellow on black paper. 

 

 

To start our second chapter in science we opened up with a lab.  To do this we used two pieces of paper.  We then placed six Kleenexes on each sheet of paper.  One paper was rolled up with just the Kleenexes.   We then placed pasta on a pipe cleaner and rolled that up with the Kleenexes in the second piece of paper.  The paper with just the Kleenexes shows an animal without a backbone and the paper with the pasta shows an animal with a backbone.  Now we have Wiggle the Worm without a backbone and Scales the Snake with a backbone.

Book orders are due tomorrow September 7th if you would like to still order.  Also want to let you know that school pictures are next Wednesday September 12th.  Remember to help your child study for their first science test that they will have on Tuesday.  Have a great weekend everyone!

High 5 Friday

We finished our first week of school with ‘High 5 Friday’!  This was a great way to start the last day of the week.  Got everyone excited to begin a new day of learning. 

Cruising Into School

Have the first two days down of school.  What a great start to the year already!  The students came cruising in and made a pit stop in 2^nd and 3^rd grade where they will learn many new and exciting things.  The first two days were spent learning how things will run in the classroom and also getting into some of their books. 

 Excited to see everyone the first day of school.

Welcome Back!

School is almost here!  I have been busy preparing the past few weeks for the start of a new school year.  The classroom has a new look to it that includes vinyl in the back, new carpet, and also a fresh coat of paint.  It looks really great!  Thanks for all those who helped in any way cleaning the whole school.  It looks really nice ready for the school year to start. Anxious to see all the kids again on Thursday!  Enjoy the last few days of summer.
