Well, we have more talent today!!!!! As you know, we have been reading the novel, Riding Freedom. The kids designed and created the plays themselves. They picked the scene/chapter they wanted to portray. I have to say, out of all my years teaching this novel, this is the BEST I have seen of this assignment. I gave them NO directions, just to do a scene and the audience had to know which one they were doing without a doubt. We brought in Mrs. Hankin's class to watch (as they are reading the same novel). They were able to guess every single one. One group learned that scripts are better than novels. It all worked out in the end though!!! All groups earned A+++++!
Speaking of talent, I decided after yesterday's show from LeeRoy and when judging the 5th and 6th grade talent shows that we need to have our own talent show. So, kids signed up for a day during our CC meeting to shine! I have posted the schedule off to the right. I can't wait to see this in action!!!!
I have even more GREAT news!!!! Every one, but one, PASSED there Sitton Spelling today!!!!! I am sooooo proud! Great job taking me seriously kiddos! I am also pleased to say that Korbyn, Avery, Alex, Halle, Shyler, Trydenn, Jaeden, and Rhys are DONE!!! They have passed all ten of the tests. WOWZERS!!!! Great job. Many are close to making that list. Keep studying.
Gray Whales migrate all year long. They are always in motion. Today, we learned what and where they are in January and February. Ask your child for one fact about either. If they can tell you write WHALE in the planner for $50.
On Friday, we have a spirt day. It is NEON day. We talked about Neon colors being bright like a highlighter. They hurt your eyes to look at. As always, no face paint or hair color is allowed. Hunter Orange is considered neon. :0) Kids that make an EFFORT (A real Effort) will earn $500!!! Some kids really, really need this money. Effort!
We have PE tomorrow. It is supposed to be colder and rainy tomorrow. Please make sure kids dress a little warmer than the past two days. Brr....50's.
Have a great night!
