Poetry Out Loud 2011

Madi and Camrie both memorized poems for our schools 3rd annuel Poetry Outloud Event.  They both did really well and Madi took first place for her entry and has to recite her poem at the district competition today!  Good Job and Good Luck!

Care for One Another . . .

Madi represented a little greek girl in her second grade

program. The message of the program focused on

the fact that we are all part of a great big human

family that will be happier when we treat one another

with respect and love. Madi and I sewed little matching

skirts for the three little dancers. Good job girls!

Landform: Butte

Gabe has been learning about landforms in 5th grade

 for the past couple of weeks.

He was gone the day they got to choose what they wanted to do projects on.  So by default he was given the landform: Butte.  It was actually pretty interesting.  He had to do research and then create a poster with examples and interesting facts about buttes.  The second part of the assignment involved created a model of assigned landform.  The model could be made out of any material.  He decided scotcheroos would be an effective medium.  Turned out pretty good!

Do you see a resemblence?  Good job Gabe!
