Popped Open A Good Book

Our class rose to the school "popcorn" challenge! Every time a student received a 90% or 100% on an AR test they were given a piece of popcorn to place on the popcorn box placed on the wall outside our class door. As you can see our class "popped" all over the place. Our display was impressive. We had so many kernels of popcorn that we ran out and had to improvise and use pieces of index cards. I am so proud of each student. Every student in our class is represented on the popcorn box.

Children's Book Week

FLE celebrates Children's Book Week the week before Thanksgiving break. This year was no exception. It was a fun filled time. Each day had a different theme.

Monday~~Frank Long Storyland. We were to decorate our class door with our favorite book. We had a hard time deciding which book was our favorite, so instead of one book for the class, each student chose their favorite book and drew a picture about it. We then put all of the drawings together and made a class quilt.

Tuesday~~Crazy Sock day....our students are crazy about reading!

Wednesday~~Read'in Lock'in/Pajama Day....we all wore our p.j.'s (yes, even me!). We had two guest readers come and read to our class. One guest reader was from Target and the other were J.V. football players from Bradwell.

Thursday~~Sunglass Day...it's cool to be a good reader.
Friday~~Hat Day...hat's off to reading

Classes that achieved 80 AR points with a test average of at least 85% were able to see the movie Space Chimps 2. I am proud to say not only did we get our AR points and test average, we exceeded both! Our class worked hard all week and by Thursday afternoon (the original cut off day) we had 116 points and a test average of 89.1% Way to go!!! I am so very proud of each and every one of you. Every student in our class contributed to the AR points.

Red Ribbon Week 2010

This week at FLE was Red Ribbon Week. We said NO to drugs in many different ways. We started off the week with a school wide assembly on the playground. As a school we recited the Say No To Drugs pledged followed by students releasing red and white balloons. On Tuesday we had Hugs NOT Drugs day and students were able to bring in their favorite stuffed animals. On Wednesday we decorated lunch bags that were used for lunch on Friday. Thursday found us wearing red shirts and we culminated Red Ribbon Week with the Liberty County Drug Dog and handler visiting our school for a Pep Rally.

Mandy, Therapy Dog

This week we read Rosie, Visiting Dog. We were fortunate enough to have Mrs. Farley (our RtI and SST coordinator) bring in her working dog, Mandy. Mandy is a therapy dog.
Thanks Mrs. Farley and Mandy. We enjoyed our visit.

ABC Awards

Each marking period FLE acknowledges students with an ABC Award ceremony. The ABC Awards are given to students that excel Academically, have outstanding Behavior or have Changed for the better either through behavior or academically. Students must work hard to receive the award. Teachers are able to give each award to two students.
For the first nine weeks Shalese and Angie received the award for Academics. Lelia and Mia received the award for behavior. Congratulations ladies! Keep up the great work.

FSGA Forestry Department

Today the FSGA Forestry Department brought a "field trip" to the FLE 3rd grade classes. We learned alot about habitats, adaptations and the animals/plants that are found in Georgia. At the end of each session we were able to look various items that include animal skulls, bugs, snake skins, and animals. We were also able to pet an alligator and touch a gopher tortoise. It was a great time had by all.

School Daze....

The students hit the ground running. We are learning new routines and procedures. All in all it has been a busy few days in our class. The students are working hard daily. It is hard to put the summer vacation behind us, especially with the warm, beautiful weather....we have a few kinks to iron out, but I know that in no time every thing will be running like clock work. The students are doing their best to rise to the challenges that are being presented to them.
I know that we will have a fantastic year!

Welcome Curvin

Here A Chick, There A Chick

Baby chicks hatched in Mrs. Busby's class this spring.  One of my students was very intrigued with the incubator and the eggs.  A few times each week, Louie visited Mrs. Busby's room to check on the eggs.  He was thrilled to watch the progress and when they finally hatched he was on top of the world.  Louie could not wait until the chicks were old enough to be held.  When he was finally able to hold the chicks, he was very gentle and caring.

Outdoor Gardening

Spring has sprung and the vegetable gardens are being prepared for planting.  On Wednesday 14 April we went to the outdoor garden with Mrs. Smith.  We prepared three raised beds and then we learned how to properly plant asparagus.  When we were finished with that, we continued to prepare additional vegetable beds.  We raked, hoed and weeded the beds.  Mrs. Turner and Amiracle carted off all of the debris in the wheelbarrow.  We had a great time and we also learned alot.  Mrs. Smith told Mrs. Turner on Friday 23 April that our asparagus had sprouted.....we can't wait....yum, yum!

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Can you believe it??!!?? Mr. Cooke's pony tail is NO longer.......there that is.....
Congratulations to Mrs. Moyse's 5th grade class for raising the most money for a great cause. One student in her class had the honor of cutting Mr. Cooke's hair! Our class raised $367 in the race to cut Mr. Cooke's hair. All in all approximately $5,000.00 was raised for Relay for Life. Mr. Cooke's pony tail was donated to Locks of Love. It was a win/win situation.

The "Yolks" on Mr. Carrier

All the students were "egg"cited during our CRCT pep rally on Friday 16 April. Mrs. Bowling's class and Mrs. Johnson's class not only won the box top race, but they also won the right to egg Mr. Carrier. Mr. Carrier was a good egg and allowed the faculty and staff to throw eggs at him after the students were through. A whopping 190 eggs were tossed at Mr. Carrier! I must say that very few eggs missed the mark.

Historical Figures

Third Grade Social Studies standards dictate that third grade students learn about several historical figures. As the students learned about these people and their contributions to the history of the United States, we also discussed their character traits---diligence, perseverance, tolerance, honest, justice, respect for authority, liberty and cooperation. To demonstrate the knowledge the students garnered from their studies, they each completed a Cereal Box Report.

Cooke Cuts

Hot off the presses!!! Mr. Cooke is cutting his hair to help raise money for our Relay for Life Team (Frank Long Fighters). Please join us in this special event. All donations are greatly appreciated. After cutting his pony tail, Mr. Cooke will donate his hair to Locks for Love. Locks for Love uses donated hair to make wigs for cancer survivors.
As of Friday 2 April our class has donated $76.11...way to go!!! I will match dollar for dollar what the students bring in. This is a very worthy cause and one that touches and impacts my life directly. As you know my husband passed away on Thursday 21 January 2010 after losing his battle with pancreatic cancer.
