OPEN HOUSE is next Tuesday, September 13th from 5-7 p.m. I hope you all are able to come by and see what our students are accomplishing in the elementary. They have been working tremendously hard, and I know they want to show off their talents and what they've been learning! See you all next week!
Picture day is also coming up next week. It will take place on Wednesday, September 14th! Have your child come to school with their pearly whites showing!
On September 20th, we will have a special guest speaker. Paul Heggen, the meteorologist from channel 4, will be coming to talk to our students about the weather! It will be exciting to see his program!
The "Eagle News" tab and "Work/Friends" tab are constantly being updated with new pictures and events each week. Don't forget to check it out.**Be sure to see our 4th-grade boys in action under the "Eagle News" tab. They go out and play hard each week!
**Also, the 4th-grade Dr. Dodgeball pictures can be found under the "Work/Friends" tab.
Kevin Kidd was here on Friday. He did a performance for our pre-kindergartners and kindergartners. By the close of the show, the children had learned a song about the theme, discussed appropriate behavior, sang some silly sung, and bounced like kangaroos. See pictures under the "Eagle News" tab.
Our pre-kindergartners also "played with worms." They read Diary of a Worm and talked about how the worms take care of the earth. Then the students got to play, examine, and magnify them. At the close of the lesson, they got to make their own Diary of a Worm journal. I got to witness our "book buddies" in action this week. This is a wonderful program where our teachers have the 4th-grade students buddy up with kindergartners and 1st-grade students. They spend time working with them on different assignments. It is so wonderful to see them working together. Our younger students really look up to them. Way to go, fourth graders, and keep being the positive role models that you are!
Mrs. Bebout would like to remind everyone that Birthday Book money is due on Friday, September 16th.
We had another wonderful speaker today! Thank you, Mr. Jones, for coming and teaching our kids a valuable lesson on how God loved us first! We also got to honor some more terrific ticket winners! I'm so proud of our students. On a side note, feel free to come to our chapel any time, and help us bring glory and praise to God! (Please see "Chapel Speakers" tab to see the upcoming speakers, because our fourth graders will be doing chapel two weeks from today.)
Girl Scout Roundup tonight at 6:30 p.m. The girls met with the leaders today and seemed very excited!We had another good week of "Pal" time. My story this week was very short but it had an important lesson. The students got to hear about a man who stole wheat from different fields, and he used his daughter as a lookout. Every time he got to a new field, she would say, "Someone sees you," and he would look around and see no one. In the end, he gets upset, because he cannot physically see any one. The daughter goes on to say, "someone sees you from above." The moral of the story is that God is always watching us, whether we can physically see Him or not. So let us make good choices based on the fact that He sees us!
Our "Dinner Discussions" are going great, but I could use some more votes! It doesn't take long to read my long post :) and vote! Last week's question had 2 stand-out winners. Electricity and Cars took the most votes! I will say those are great choices!
