Marvelous Monday! (with Great School Spirit!)

5B,
I'm really impressed with how many of you put extra effort into becoming some kind of character today!  The students I felt that went ALL OUT and earned the 5B Spirit Award are....

Annabelle!  

Bravo TMNT with all the details!

Kyleigh!  

Bravo to Bozo the Clown!  Nose and all!

Emily! 

Bravo to Maddie!  So realistic (minus the brown hair:)

I can't wait to see who brings out the challenge to these first Spirit Winners!  Come on!  For the fun and excitement of our school, bring on the friendly competition of SCHOOL SPIRIT with your 5B Family Members:)


In Literacy Today...
I was so overly impressed with how 5B did with our first chances at Read with Someone!  This is the list 5D came up with when brainstorming what to expect for Read with Someone.  Looks familiar, doesn't it?!

(Awww...Aren't they so sweet?!)  

Tomorrow's School Spirit Challenge!  Go America or Go Camouflage!  Do your best to support our school during homecoming (and of course, our nation!)  Let's see if you can get in the top 3 for tomorrow!  I'll put the 5B Spirit Awards on tomorrow night's blog!

It was a BUMMER about no band today, and you guys dealt with it very maturely!  I'm sure you were excited to start!  Just remember if you have an individual band lesson on Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday, this is your job to remember.  If you have one Thursday, it will be a normal group band day anyway:)

I also hope to get time tomorrow to continue and finish our class read aloud, Swear to Howdy.  I know the majority of the class was shocked by the events of what happened to Joey's sister.  It was a serious turn to a pretty hilarious story.  I'd like to see how the author chooses to end it.  Will he bring humor back into the story, or will it end in this sad and somber tone?  Ah!  Authors have a way with their words, don't they?!

Ok, so, I'll know you checked the blog if... you come in Tuesday morning, put your name in the right spot, and begin doing silent "USA cheers".  Be sure to show the excitement, enthusiasm and movements that a real cheer squad member does when CHEERING on the TEAM they LOVE!  BUT you should NOT make any sounds!  I'll be able to tell how "into it" you are by your actions!  And yes, there are such people as male cheer members!  

Go TEAM USA!!


Nighty night.
Sleep tight.
Don't let the bed bugs BITE!
