Student Council

Students who are interested in being a Student Council Representative for our class are to have their speeches ready by Monday.
We have quite a few interested students so they are going to really have to make a good, strong persuasive speech as to why they are the best person for this role. What a great way to show leadership skills. They know they need to be here on Fridays for the 8:00 meetings and then help Mr. Senitte, our school, and our classroom throughout the year.
Tomorrow, we will be finishing up our Ruldolph stories. Thank you so much for helping edit them. Weren't they great?!!!
Tonight's social studies homework is that of inventing a car. We talked about Detroit, the motor city, and Henry Ford. They are to design their new car on the paper that was given them and color them. They will be graded on neatness, reality, & creativity. Can't wait to see the fun stripes & flames coming out of them!!!
In science, we have now moved from talking about bones & muscles to the skin. Ask your child which 2 places of the body have the toughest skin and how many pounds of skin cells we lose our entire life and write skin in the planner.
We have a few students who had some issues in PE today. They were not using good sportsmanship at all according to Ms. Buss. Please talk to your child tonight about this matter and if they were one of them that were part of the problem, write PE in the planner. I am thinking and I think you would agree that if they can't use good character at all times here in school and at home that they don't deserve to be part of our Polar Express Day on December 21st. They all know that just because the activity is going to happen doesn't necessarily mean they participate. It is a fun day that comes with the privilege if they earn it. Don't you agree??
Thank you to Nathaniel's Grandpa for spending the morning with us. I think he really enjoyed himself and he got to see how much these kids are doing and learning. He is a former teacher and principal so how fun for him to relive his days of the past.
Have a great night.
