Surprise visit

My family came to Wausau on Friday to pick me up to carpool to grandma's house. They surprised me by showing up early and popping up in our classroom!

Aaron had a BLAST hanging out with us on the playground!

What happened this week?

Genna yelled, “We got the prizes for track and field. It was great.”  

Remember: No school Monday the 27th (Memorial Day!)

In other news....

We have been doing a spectacular job as a class in our CLASSROOM DOJO. Every week since we started this program, we have met our weekly classroom goal of keeping our positive behavior percentage above 85%. Meeting this goal allows us to have "Music Monday". This Monday one of our songs turned into a conga line!

On Wednesday we traveled to Lac Du Flambeau to visit Waswagoning.

We have been researching endangered animals. Our projects are FINALLY complete, so we took the time today to share our hard work with a buddy. I love to see how eager they are to share their work with their classmates and how respectful they were acting!

SumDog Competition UPDATE

The D.C Everest Elementary schools participated in a District-wide SumDog math competition last week. 519 students participated. Our very own Genna, Jonah and Reagan earned scores that landed them in the Top Ten at Riverside! Jonah's score actually earned him a spot in the Top Ten in the DISTRICT! Way to go guys!

Winding down

As this school year winds down, we find ourselves busier than ever!

 
Jonah announced, ”We finished our beach sense in art for the ice cream social.”

Reagan called, “We visited the wax museum, and it was awesome!”

Genna said, “We are doing track and field next week.”

MJ whispered,”We had a spelling test.”  

Dates to remember:
Monday, May 20th is our Track and Field afternoon.
Wednesday, May 22nd we have our last field trip to Waswagoning.
Students need to return all library books by Thursday, May 24th
Ice Cream Social is after school Thursday, May 24th. There will be NO Homework Club this evening.
No school Monday, May 27th for Memorial Day.
Last day of school is Wednesday, June 5th!

We are reading the book Chocolate Fever by Robert Kimmel Smith. In today's chapter, the characters pulled over on a road trip to make a phone call. Unfortunately, this call did not take place. We got together with a partner to write a script of what might have been said.

 Genna REALLY got into character and gave her self CHOCOLATE FEVER!
