100th Day of School

Today was the 100th day of school! We started the day off with a school assembly. We sang a 100th day song, heard a story read by guest reader Mrs. Kathy Hefner, watched a Minute-to-Win-It game, and were quiet for 100 seconds. Back in the classroom we wore 100th day glasses, wrote with a 100th day pencil, and worked in a 100th day activity book. Later in the afternoon we crawled through a 100th day door into the cafeteria and enjoyed 100 slurps (more or less) of a root beer float. It was a great day!

Scamper the Penguin

First and second graders recently watched an exciting movie called "The Adventures of Scamper the Penguin." After discussing our favorite parts, we wrote and drew about them. Ask your child about the movie. There's plenty to tell!



Kobe said, "I like the part when Mr. Feathers put his head in the walrus because it was asleep and I liked the movie."



Harlie liked the part "when Scamper and Snowflake kissed and when he [Mr. Feathers] got shot."



Paris said, "I like the part when the guy shot the penguin but it was ok. I liked when the huge ice fell."




Alexis said, "The walrus got Mr. Feathers because it opened its mouth. It was funny."




Kenny said, "I liked when they escaped the boat. And when they fought the guys and the boxes fell on the guy. That was my favorite part."





Tanner said, "I liked the part where the penguin got his head in the walrus."





Josee said, "The part was really funny with the walrus."






Irish said, "I liked the part when Scamper was born. He was funny."







Jody said, "I loved the part where he [Mr. Feathers] got shot and when he [Scamper] was born."






Garret said, "The leopard seal was about to eat the penguin."









Aria said, "The funny part was the where a penguin stuck his head in the mouth."










Hagen liked "the part where Mr. Feathers got hurt. And the seals attack the penguins."









Wylee said, "Mr. Feathers is weird. Cowboy [the dog] is crazy. Boom, Mr. Feathers got shot."
