Happy Birthday



When we have a birthday in Room 206, this is how we roll...
a card - signed by each classmate
a birthday crown - because you are the special person of the day
a birthday badge to wear - to announce your birthday to the whole school throughout the day
a bookmark - to keep your books happy
a lucky pencil - for fabulous writing

and a big message on the board!

Pay It Forward Assembly

We had a month-long, school-wide challenge as a class to "pay it forward." This concept means to do something nice for someone without being asked - just because it feels good to do for others.

Each time one of us "paid it forward," we got a link in our chain. This is our chain that we brought to the assembly to be connected to the rest of the school's chain. Now the entire school-wide chain is hanging on our walls around the school! We sure make do a lot of nice choices as a school.

These two students helped us send a chick to a foreign country in need. These chicks grow up to provide a source of protein with egg laying, and chick production. They helped send chicks by contributing to the fund raiser. Congratulations!

Apple Cup 2013



We were celebrating the Huskies in Room 206 on Wednesday before Thanksgiving Break! The game was on Friday. The first half was very close and sort of a snooze feast.

My Huskies came through in the end, in their new stadium. And now Coach Sark is heading to UCLA. Bummer!

Here I am with Mr. Pritchard. We had a friendly exchange before the BIG GAME!

Election Results

Our two Student Council Representatives are sworn into office. Their job is to show up for 8:20 meetings on Wednesday mornings twice a month. Then, they report back to the class what they learned. They also are responsible for listening to their classmates and reporting the student council members what they have heard from our classmates. They will also take care of organizing Spirit Days. Yay!

These two girls will do a fabulous job for us! Congratulations!
