Tealridge visit and our week

We went to Tealridge Assisted Living Center to sing along with the 2nd graders. The students did a great job and the residents really enjoyed them being there.

Fun at recess burying each other in he leaves!  Fall is great!

Our 4-H brothers display in the hall!

"Theo" - one of the 4-H brothers and their candy corn contractions.

Halloween Week

Mrs. Laxton taught us about Ruth this week. We learned a new song to the memory verse from Ruth. 

Mrs Laxton read the pumpkin prayer and explained it while Mrs. Cave carved the pumpkin.

Mrs. Cave is a great pumpkin carver. 

Mrs. Laxton always loves to add in a science lesson. We learned about the seed leaves on the pumpkin vine. 

More pumpkin carving .......

Here's what it looked like all lit up. 

Mrs. Laxton did a review of all the Bible stories we have learned so far and the memory verses. We were so impressed by how much they remembered!  

Mrs Laxton wrapped up a green tomato in a paper wrapper and left it on a shelf for a month. We checked it and saw how it turned red!  Mrs. Laxton explained the science behind it. 

In class this week, we learned about the 4-H brothers (Sherman - sh, Charles - ch, Theo - th, and Whit - wh) and the kids made a craft of each one. 

The kids earned an ice cream sundae party for sending out their 10 mailers for Fun Run!

Here are some of the students singing "The Northern Border of the United States" song!  

It was a great week!

Homecoming and Red Ribbon week

This week was Red Ribbon and Homecoming week!  It was very busy, yet very fun!  This first picture is of Mrs. Cave and Mrs. Laxton measuring to see how much our pumpkin vine has grown.

This is a picture of Raz the drug dog who came to visit and tell us about saying "no" to drugs.

This is Mrs. Fennel with a praying mantis on her finger!  She told us all about them during chapel.  

Here are the kids during partner reading time!  Yes, we did manage to get some work done this week!  

Here is the helicopter from OBN.  We got to watch it leave!  It was so cool!  (literally!)  

Here is a Hummer that was seized from a drug dealer and is now being used to stop illegal drug use.

Here is Scout, who showed off his skills of being able to detect which can had drugs inside.

Below are pictures of the kids getting inside the other Hummer that is used for disaster relief efforts.  The entire class could fit inside there!  Maybe OCA needs a Hummer like this!  

This is Swoop, our Eagle Mascot, at the pep rally (or pepper rally as some of them say!)

Here are the cheer clinic girls getting ready to do their cheers!  They did a great job!

Here are some of the kids doing the Dinosaur Stomp with Koo Koo Kanga Roo!  (I need to work on my video recording skills!)
