Christmas Party With Gift Exchange

On December 23rd Room 212 will have a Christmas Party. The party will include food, games, and a gift exchange. Every student is to bring an exchange gift worth $5.00. (girls bring for girls, boys bring for boys) Your child may also bring a food treat for each student if they wish. What a great way to enjoy Christmas together!

Busy

The last few weeks have been very busy. Special thanks to the Beal family for inviting us to spend an afternoon pressing cider and learning about wildlife. For Veteran's Day we made american flag pins for the visiting veterans. We also enjoyed making "Zeps" to celebrate finishing the novel Maniac Magee. The students have been working very hard, and are enjoying celebrating the season.

Thanks

Thanks for your patience while my site was not working correctly. We are up and running again in 212. Details of the important happenings in 212 will be posted this week. Have a great day!

Red Ribbon Week

The Red Ribbon Week Fairy visited our classroom during the night. Today's lucky winner was Amber. She is pictured with the items the fairy left for her.

Tomorrow we will be celebrating Red Ribbon Week with fitness stations. All students will be participating in physical fitness activities at stations surrounding the building. Students will visit 7 stations. Please remind your child to dress appropriately for these activities. While avoiding drugs, alcohol, and tobacco we want to instill some healthy habits in our students.

Red Ribbon Week

Kierstie and Logan are members of the 6th Grade Red Ribbon Committee. The committee has been working very hard in conjunction with Miss Myers and Mrs. Wingard to plan activities for next week. Remember, each day next week has been designated as a theme day for Red Ribbon Week. Please encourage your child to participate in the activities. If we all work together we can take a stand against drugs!

Wednesday - Put a Cap on Drugs! - wear a hat

Thursday - Drugs Will Make You Crazy - crazy hair day

Theme

Students in 212 have been working on identifying Theme when reading a novel or short story. To practice this skill students created SS Thematic ships this week. The ships identified various themes in the story The Brand New Kid as well as summarized the story.

Guest Speaker

Today Mr. Larry Bowser talked to 6th grade students about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. Mr. Bowser is a Juvenile Probation Officer for Clarion County. His presentation was wonderful. He shared a great deal of important information with our students. Please be sure to ask your son or daughter what they learned from Mr. Bowser. Also, if you see him in the community give him a big Thank You from Keystone Elementary.
