Our $150 ornaments

Mrs. Tirey asked us to help decorate her office's Christmas tree.  The theme was "What does agriculture mean to you?"  Students created a corn ornament in which they filled a glass ball with corn and wrote what agriculture means to them.  They also put together a paper farm animal ornament. 

After the tree was on display, it was auctioned off to raise money for charity.  Our tree raised $150 for St. John's Breadline!  When I told the students, they cheered, especially knowing they had helped raise money for others!

Germy Vokis

Voki is a fun website that allows people to create their own talking avatars.  After learning how to use the program, students used the website to show off how much they've learned about germs and staying healthy in science.  Check it out!

You can see more by going to Voki and signing in with our class's username and password (you'll find it on our links website).

Meet Jake!

We had a very special visitor waiting for us when we arrived at school this morning!  We have an elf!  This elf spends his days in our classroom watching our activities and behavior and at night, he reports back to Santa himself!  After his first day in our classroom, I think Santa will be very happy with the report!

Our first mission was to name our elf.  After some brainstorming and a vote, we have chosen to name our elf Jake.  Jake will be with us everyday until Christmas break.  Every morning, when we show up to school, he will be hiding somewhere in our classroom!
