This Week's Star!

This week's Star of the Week is...

Kennedy A.


Kennedy is a fourth grader this year! She has drawn a picture of one of the things she likes to do in her spare time! Can you guess what it is? If you guessed that Kennedy likes to ride her bike, you guessed correctly. In fact, Kennedy likes to ride her bike up and down the big hill in her driveway. She also likes to swim in her pool in her backyard. Both of those things sound like fun to me!

Kennedy also wanted to let everyone know that her Nana's Special Peach Salad is her favorite food. Her Nana puts peaches in jello and adds cool whip. Doesn't that sound yummy?

The third thing that Kennedy shared is what she does when she is worried about something. She says that she calls her Nana because her Nana makes her happy and helps Kennedy work through anything that is bothering her.

This week's Star of the Week is .........

Jake W.!

Jake is in the third grade this year and loves being outdoors! Three things that he wanted to share about himself are:

In my spare time I really like to go fishing at the pond near my Mimi's house. I always catch BIG bass and catfish there. Sometimes I catch bluegill but I usually toss those back. One time I saw a water moccasin at the lake. I know I have to be extra careful when I go fish!

Because I like hunting so much, my happiest memory is when I shot my first turkey last year. I even brought pictures to school to show Mrs. V. and my other teachers!

The last thing I wanted to share is that when I get worried, I pray. This is something I wanted to let you know because it helps me!

Thank You, Mr. and Mrs. B.!

This week the kids made a Thank-You Note for a very nice couple who helped purchase some of the supplies for the pencil boxes in the Learning Zone! As you can see in the photos, each child placed a thumb print on the card. Then they chose what activity they wanted their "thumb person" to be doing. The kids got a real kick out of seeing what their classmates chose! I hope that Mr. and Mrs. B. can feel the love that was sent with this card! Thank you again for your generosity, Derek and Diana!

Week 2!

Hello! My name is Francesca C. and I am in the third grade this year.

The three things that I told Mrs. V. that I would like to share about me are:

1. I like to play with my little sister, Jocelyn, every night. Sometimes I even help out by feeding her!

2. I like my PSP. I have several games but my favorite game to play is called Thrillville. Thrillville is a game where you can build things, including roller coasters!

3. In my spare time I like to relax by watching T.V. or by watching a video.

Here's ........ Joanna!

Hi, my name is Joanna F. I am in Mrs. Stanton's homeroom this year. Here is some information that I would like for you to know about me. My happiest memory is about when I got my puppy, Panfe. Another fact about me that you might want to know is that I really like to play games outside. The third fact I want to share is that my favorite sport is soccer. I like soccer because I like to run and kick the ball!

First Week!

Hello, Everyone!

Well - we have finished our first week and things are going well. It has been wonderful seeing all of our children again. It is amazing to see how much everyone has grown! I think our schedules are pretty much in place, so hopefully we will have a smooth full week coming up.

This week we will have our first Student of the Week. I will be choosing a name on Monday so check back later this coming week to see which child will be the first to post on our blog! Only children who have written permission to be included on our blog will be able to post. I hope you will enjoy seeing entries written by various students throughout the year.

Just a reminder -

1. Students who have spelling in the Learning Zone get their new words every Friday. Please study these words every night - including Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Spelling tests are on Thursdays.

2. All students should be bringing home graded papers in their Communicators every Monday. Please ask your child to see his or her work from the previous week. Parents are asked to sign and return to class any paper that has a grade of 79 or below.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
