Music Class

One of our specials is music. Mrs.Frisen teaches it. We sing fun songs for our concerts. Sometimes we get to do fun activities or play instruments. Other times we get to watch videos. Every year we put up a gold, white, or a red star, for being good, okay, or bad. Which ever class gets the most gold stars gets to eat ice cream and watch a movie. Music is so fun and Mrs.Frisen is so nice. During music we also get to learn about old singers and bands. Music is fun!

the clipboard

This is the clipboard.  It keeps track of who has a late and who did something that they were not supposed to.  If you do something or have a late you have to sign in.  At the end of the week Mrs. Nichols looks to see who signed in.  We all have  a big purple folder that has a calendar in it and if we signed in Mrs. Nichols puts a check mark on that day.  If we had no sign ins the whole week we get to do something special that we choose.

Indoor Recess

Indoor recess is so fun because you get to go on the I pods and I pads. One of the more active things to do is twister you know the game that you have to put your hand on blue circle, or a red one. We can also do silent ball it is where if you drop it you have to stay completly silentno noise or your out. So that's what we do for indoor recess.

Lunch cards

Every kid has a lunch card . They use it for lunch . If you lose your lunch card it costs 10 dollars for a new one,but if you cant pay for a new one let your child write there name on a peise of paper then rita will search it.

Thanks

Last month someone in our class was the AR Star Reader. That person is Allie . So far she has read 36 books. That is almost three times as many as some of us. She also has the most books done in the whole school! Not just our grade, fourth, and third too!

It was only for 3rd-5th graders the kids that read more than 7 A.R books and passed them. We also had a raffle and you could win a tee-shirt or a book.

New iPod!

  In Mrs.Nichols class we got a new iPods! At first we only had 18, but now we have 21. However, only one of these iPods has a camara, very cool. We use the iPods mostly for work, or reveiwing facts, but if we are good we are allowed to use the iPods for fun! So when your child gets home from school today ask them if they have played with the new iPod yet!

Study Hall

In study hall we do our homework while the other kids do band. The rule is no talking but if we are good we get to talk the last 10 min. of study hall. If you get done with all of your homework and you forgot or don't want to read a book you get to read magazines. Once you are done with your homework you normally read a chapter book because whenever you go to study hall you are soposed to bring a book. The study hall teacher is Miss. Brocket. She is the new library assistant. Also if you are good you can draw once you are done with your homework. Study hall is a nice thing to have so you can get everything done that needs to be done.

Secret Santa

Secret Santa is where you can buy stuff for your family and friends. We decorated paper bags to rap the presents. Then we come with our money to buy stuff.  Then they rap the present with the paper bags. We enjoy buying stuff. All of us would like to get presents. I know that because there was a long line we took so long we had to delay intervention.

Intervention is fun (for most kids)but math is funner not the homework part but the lessons and the games we play. We play all sorts of games like top-it,multiplacation baseball,factor-capter,etc.Have your kids tell you about the things we do in math!!chantz

The Strong Dude

On Monday a strong dude came to our school. Being strong is his main job. He goes around the country performing cool things that involve his strength. One cool thing that he did at the assembly was when he picked up Ms. Bova and put her over his shoulder while walking. He did other cool stuff, but he also told funny stories about his other strong friends.

Student counsils

Sometime in Jaunary we are going to have new student counsils.  Right now are student counsils are Allie and Drake.  For the second term our student counsils will be Abby and Brandon.  Student counsils go to meetings every Tuesday during lunch.  They also help out around the school and takeout the recycling.  They do a lot of things.  Above is a picture of our new students counsils for the second term.   Allie

Everyweek we have ladders and crosswords. (If it is a regularly long week) The ladders are, well........ a ladder! The ladder will tell you the beginning word and you go on from then. (It goes from the bottom up) It will give you clues so you can figure out the next word. It'll tell you, say, "take away the first two letters & add one to the end." So everyweek your child should have that to work on. Just to tell you they might need help, those ladders get pretty tricky!

Puppet Plays For Mrs. Innis' Class

On some Fridays we go to Skype and video chat with Mrs. Innis' class. We talk to the 1st graders and do puppet plays with their amazing words. Like this week Katie, Brook, and I are doing it. And Nathan, Ryan, Drake, and Chantz are doing it to. We enjoy doing it because we like to make them laugh and learn their words better in a fun way. It is also fun because yourself and the other people who do it get to write their own play with their Amazing Words! Its very fun!!!
