Caroline's Thoughts on "Down by the Creekbank"

2008-11-07T12:46:00.002-06:00

Last night we performed Down by the Creekbank. It was so much fun! Some people had solos or talked. The solos were "Senses", "Germs", "Being Me", "Love Is", and "He Plants Me Like a Seed". In my class Chandler, Megan, and I did some solos. Chandler sang Love Is, Megan sang He Plants Me like a Seed, and I sang Being Me. Will, Taylor, David, Bryant, and Jefferson talked. It was so funny! I hope that everyone who saw the play was touched and loved it!

2008-11-07T12:44:00.007-06:00

I learned that God is with you. I liked when Will said I caught a fish . I didn't want to eat that fish. I loved the music.

Will's Thoughts on "Down by The Creekbank"

2008-11-07T12:43:00.043-06:00

My thoughts on Down by The Creekbank were that you should never forget God. The part that I liked the most was getting to be a true fisherman. My least favorite part was not getting to eat the sandwich when we passed it around during the song called "Multiply". The part that I enjoyed the most was yelling "I caught a fish, I caught a fish", and then it not being a fish, but it was a rubber boot. I also liked when Emma Grace and Megan Patch sang a solo on the song
"Germs, My Invisible Dog. My favorite part was when Brady did the echoes. I also enjoyed getting to wear a fishing vest. I caught a stuffed fish. I used a bamboo cane pole to go fishing in the creek. Down by The Creekbank was very fun!!!

2008-11-07T12:43:00.040-06:00

Last night at my school we did a play called, well it's up there. My favorite part was when I had to hook a boot on a Fishing pole, but it gave me a crick in the neck. I felt weird but I had to do it. Well, the music was the best, like germs.

Megan's Thoughts on "Down by the Creekbank"

2008-11-07T12:43:00.039-06:00

A few fun fair photos.

What a difference a year makes

2008-09-11T08:52:00.002-05:00

My, how they've grown! The top picture is of Caroline, JT, and Jefferson and outside the petting zoo at the fair last September as 4th graders. I practically had to tie them down yesterday to get them to let me to take the same picture of them as 5th graders. I made them rotate seats so that I could have a picture of them in the same seating arrangement. It really got on their nerves, but I couldn't resist. I think JT gets the award for most growth/change.

A silly pose

2008-09-02T11:14:00.004-05:00

After posing for several pictures, I asked the students to give me their silliest pose. This is what I got. You know there is more silliness in them than this. I will let you all now when I capture it. We are having a great time in 4th/5th grade. The kids are learning a lot. I am still amazed everyday how much they learn from each other. They completed plant/animal cell models in science. I will post pictures soon. We are currently working on adding and subtracting with large numbers in math. In language we are studying the subject and predicate parts of sentences. They are pros at this. In social studies we are working on map skills. We are studying modern-day Bible heroes and the history of hymns. We have learned about making choices that honor God everyday.

As the year has gone by, I have sometimes had a difficult time getting my pictures to post. I had a little tutorial with Mrs. Tonya the other day on renaming them, so here is a look back on some of the fun things we have done this year.

Our field trip to the fair. JT- where were you when we took the pictures by the pretty pink flowers??? See You At The Pole picutes. What a blessing it is to work and teach in a school where God is welcome every day. I am thankful always for this place. The last two are the pictures from our trip to see The Princess and the Pea. As always, we had a great time that day too.

Welcome Ansley Paige

2008-03-05T13:55:00.004-06:00

As most of you know, I am out on maternity leave. Ansley Paige made her entrance 6 weeks early on February 11. She shares her birthday with Will Whitlock, someone very special to us. At 5 pounds 12 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long, she is a true gift from God. As healthy as any full term baby, she reminds me every day of God's goodness and grace. She is my little bundle of blessings. Baylee is the best oldest sister that I know, and Avery Kate is adjusting slowly.

Ms. Amanda has been taking care of my 3 amigos at school, and she is doing a fabulous job. They are learning and doing lots of fun, hands on projects. I am going to try to get in there and help them post some things that show what they have been up to. I miss you all and will be back to work soon.

We want to say a big thank you to all parents for attending Parent Teacher Conferences. I am so proud of these students. They did a super job with student lead conferences. I thought they were all well prepared, and very pleased to show work samples to parents. Way to go parents and students!

Reminders

2007-10-16T08:08:00.000-05:00

Just a reminder that report cards will go out on Monday, October 22. Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on Tuesday, October 23 from 3-6 pm. A letter will come home so that you can schedule a time with me. You will need to bring your 4th grader with you because our conferences are student lead. Your student will show you a portfolio of some of his/her work and share with you what he/she has learned this nine weeks. You will also have the opportunity to set goals for this quarter with your student. This is a very exciting activity that helps your child become more responsible for his/her learning.
Also don't forget Family Talent Night and trpohiy presentations tonight at 6:30 pm. Refreshments will be served by the PAT following the program.
School pictures will be made on Thursday. You will be able to view your proofs that afternoon.

John Thomas's multiplacation sundae

2007-10-10T14:21:00.000-05:00

This is my sundae. You have to learn your 1's,2's,3's,4's,5's,6's,7's,8's,9's,10's,11's,12's. It took me a long time to learn them. I am so proud of myself.

Multiplication Sundaes

2007-10-10T14:09:00.000-05:00

In class, when everybody got all their multipication we were going to have a sundae party! We had to get to 12 before we could have a party. October 5 is when we had the party. Our parents got to come. It was a great party. Thank you Mrs. Burton!!!!!

What's the scoop on multiplication?

2007-10-10T09:33:00.000-05:00

The scoop is that everyone was able to say all multiplication tables. What a great job they did! Everyone worked really hard to learn these. They were rewarded with a banana split party. Parents came to join us, and we had a nice time together. Pictures of the party are coming soon!

See You at the Pole

2007-10-10T09:25:00.000-05:00

We had a great time at "See You at the Pole". What an honor it was to be able to pray together with our families an friends. As you can see, even the babies participated. Aren't they cute. Thanks to John Thomas and Jefferson for holding the flags. Great job guys.

Jefferson's plant & animal cell

2007-10-01T14:03:00.000-05:00

This is my plant and animal cell. Animal cells and plant cells are different because a plant cell has a cell wall and chloroplast. they are alike because they both have a cell membrane, a nucleus, and cytoplasm, vacuole, chromosomes, and mitochondrion.

John Thomas's plant and animal cell

2007-09-24T08:16:00.000-05:00

There are a lot of things that make up a plant and animal cell. Like a nucleous; vacuole and other things. I hope that you like it.

Caroline's Science Project

2007-09-24T08:03:00.000-05:00

These are my plant and animal cells. I made them out of fishing line, yarn, play-doh, buttons, and sticks. At the bottom of the paper I made a key to tell what the objects were.

A social studies mural

2007-09-20T08:24:00.000-05:00

This is a social studies mural the students did on Ancient Indians from chapter one. They had a great time drawing each part and discussing how each group of indians obtained food and other necessary items. We took a picture of it before we cut it apart for each student to take their section home. Nice work!

Caught Being Good!

2007-09-20T08:20:00.000-05:00

Caroline was "Caught Being Good" this week. During an activity with index cards, she loaned some to another student before I could get some out of my desk to loan to him. She has a very generous spirit and a helpful nature. Thank you, Caroline. What a great asset you are to our classrrom.
