Thank you for sending in the permission slips to Harris Farm. Our field trip to Harris Farm is Monday, September 22, from 8:45 to 11:15. Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately to be outdoors most of the morning. Thank you.
All students should feel so proud as we raised $330.00 in the "Read to Feed" program through Heiffer International. Students collected pledges for books read. Our class was able to purchase a water buffalo, a flock of ducks and geese and a flock of chickens for a needy family. We were also able to purchase a share of a goat, pig, sheep and rabbits. I am waiting for a day with 100% attendance and then I will take a picture of the class to go into the local newspapers. Stay tuned.
Each year our district has a Writer's Showcase contest. Teachers are asked to submit five entries per class for judging. The names are not visible on their papers and a panel of judges picks the top writing pieces and then community judges pick the winner. I am so pleased to report that our class had three finalists! Congratulations to TomHenry in third grade and Emma and Madalyn in second grade! I told the class that the decision was very difficult because we have a great community of authors in our class. I had to give ten entries to three different people for me to decide which five to submit. This class has done a wonderful job writing and we are so pleased to have three or the top writing submissions from all the classes at KES and Consolidated. Congratulations to TomHenry, Emma and Madalyn and to all the authors of the multiage class!
Congratulations to all our students that built their land yachts and especially our land yacht race winners! Joey's came in third, Gabby's came in second and (drum roll, please) Heather's came in first! We all had great fun racing them in the gym. The top three winners in our class will now race against the top three winners in Mrs. Boyd's class.
