Teacher’s Note

We have been working really hard on our Idaho Geography Unit and should be finishing it before break. The class will be in charge of the Community Circle the Wednesday before break, it starts @ 10 A.M. you are more than welcome to come and watch. The children have been practicing dance routines, joke telling and guitar playing so it should be a great performance. Please try to read at home with the children and practice their spelling words as well (they go home on Mondays). If you have changed your email or if you have not been receiving my daily email please let me know. Thanks for all of your support.

The Class - By Chris Harrison and Ben Miller

This year has been going great. We have gone on a field trip to the Boise River and we also got to go to the Boise Art Museum. We have done some DOL (Daily Oral Language), this used to be done very day but we are taking a break from it right now. We are going to try to go to the Boise River more and to the library soon.

A lot of kids are playing Beyblades, they are really popular this year. They are metal spinning tops that “battle” each other. We are going to do a scientific study on our Beyblades to see why they spin and why some of them are better than others. We also have been playing golf at break or choice time, it is pretty fun as well.

Fire Drill and Lock Down - By Kiley Taylor 

Hi parents, I hope you want to learn about fire drills and lockdowns, because I am going to tell you all about them. First we go outside when we hear the fire alarm. If it is fake we go back inside the school. If it isn’t fake we obviously stay outside and wait for the firemen. Now let’s talk about lockdowns. First Mrs. Cindy will tell us if somebody unknown/harmful is coming near the school. Then we will hide under our seats and be silent. Then the teacher will make sure nobody is missing from the class and we wait for the person to leave the school area. If nobody comes then everything goes back to normal.

I Like Ice Cream

By Madison Hillary

I like ice cream a whole lot

It tastes good when days are hot

Vanilla, Chocolate, Rocky Road

I can see that al a mode

I have my own recipes

Rock-A-Chock is the best of these

Mr. Ben likes Rocky Road

Even when it has a chocolate code

I like Lolly -It

It is like eating a sugar pit

I Love Ice Cream

Even if it makes me scream!

The 5 R’s - By Dean Rollins and Ben Miller

Our school has some guidelines that we follow that are called the 5 R’s. They are Respectful, Resilient, Responsive, Resourceful, and Responsible. In our class we have some other guidelines that will help us become a great class. They are called R.O.S.E which stands for Respect Others Self and World. Each of the 5 R’s are very important for our class to do, they will help us become a great class. If someone is respectful than other people will respect them back. If someone is resourceful they will be able to be independent and not rely on other people. If someone is resilient they will keep on trying until they reach their goal. If someone is responsible they will accomplish their goals in life. If someone is responsive they will respond to their needs and other needs very quickly.  The 5 R’s are very good guidelines to help you become your full potential.
