Here is what we have been doing during the first semester.
First Trip to the Library
Skittles and M&Ms Campaign Posters
In September, we learned about Government and how many people campaign for their position. Then the people get to vote. The students got to pick which candy they liked better, Skittles or M & M s and come up with a campaign poster. The poster had to include a slogan and a picture. After all the students presented their posters, the class voted on which one was better.
It was a TIE between Skittles and M&Ms!!!
We Love Both!!!
PBS EAGLES
We had football players visit our class every Friday there was a home football game, also a Silver Stepper and cheerleader came too!!We were able to ask them questions about the upcoming game. Also, we did cheers to help get them pumped up for the game. One week they even gave us there autograph!!
GEAUX EAGLES!!!!!
Edible Landforms
During our Landform Unit, we made an edible landform. We used different food to create the different types of landforms we learned about.The students really enjoyed this activity, but there favorite part was eating the landforms that they created!!!
Our First Mystery Reader
Our first mystery reader of the year was Grant’s Grammie, Susan. The students enjoyed hearing the different clue each day and trying to guess who the mystery reader was. They were so excited for her to read them a book. Mrs. Susan read us “There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Shell.” (This was very appropriate for our classroom theme!!)
8th Grade Friends
Our class as been assigned a middle school class, that comes to visit us once a month. We were lucky to get Mrs. Wales’ (Caegan’s Mom) group. The 8th grade students read with the students and do activities with them. The students always look forward to them coming!!
Bula Bula Bula Bula!!
Our class attended an all school pep rally during the fall. We played CHS, and the theme of the game was “Bula the Bears”. The cheerleaders and steppers taught us the Bula cheer. No one knows exactly what “bula” means, but it was really fun to be with the whole school and cheer on the EAGLES!!!
We are proud to be EAGLES!!!
Health Week
In October, we had Health Week. Each day we were able to dress up to promote the importance of being healthy. The students really enjoyed this.
BEE Healthy Day
Protect Your Self From the Sun Day!!!
Sock it to Cavities!!
We made tooth puppets and talked about how we can take good care of our teeth.
Homecoming Day
We had a parade. We had so much fun getting pumped up for the big game that night. GEAUX EAGLES!!!
Operation Christmas Child
The students had the opportunity to bring a shoebox with toys in for a less fortunate child. The students were so excited to give to others because we talked a lot how that is the true meaning of Christmas. As a school, we collected over 900 boxes that were shipped around the world to help make a little boy or girl’s Christmas very special!!
The Perfect Present
We did a novel study on this book. The students really enjoyed reading a chapter book. We did many fun activities with the book. We discussed the difference between Wants and Needs because in the story Freddy wants a ton of toys for Christmas, but he didn’t need them. At the end of the story, Freddy realizes the true meaning of Christmas is GIVING!!!!
pop Rock Adjectives
In December we learned all about adjectives. The students were each given a bag of pop rocks then they Described them using Adjectives! The Students Favorite Part was Eating Them!!!!!
Spreading Christmas Cheer
For our 2nd grade mission project, we decided to go sing Christmas carols to the residents of Ascension Oaks Nursing Home. The second graders were so excited to sing some of the songs from the Christmas play that they had been practicing.
After we sang, we passed out Christmas cards that the third graders made for us to bring. The residents were so touch, and the second graders were able to show the residents the true meaning of Christmas!!!
