Annabelle's Adventures with Little Blue

Annabelle's Adventures with Little Blue
By: Annabelle

This weekend I got to take home Little blue. Our adventure began with mom, dad, Little Blue, Ava, and me going to see Wreck-It Ralph. My favorite part was when Vanellope got to be president of Sugar Rush. Little Blue's favorite part was when Felix said, "Oh, come on. Whatever I touch is fixed," because he just wanted to get out of jail. Then we went to dinner. After that we went home. On the way home, Little Blue fell asleep. The next day Ava and Little Blue played monster tag. Little Blue turned big and was the monster. He attacked Ava and he won. Then Little Blue had a crush on Ava's girl monkey. She was a ballet dancer. Then Little Blue and I went to Macy Z.'s. Then I played with Andrew. We played with his Harry Potter Legos and Little Blue.

200 Smiles = Class Reward

Just a few weeks ago the students filled our class pillar with 200 smiley faces (earned each
week for keeping all 6 pillars). They voted on a class reward and decided to have a movie party, which will take place on Friday, November 16th. 

The students should still come to school in their formal attire for the Solars Awards, but will then have the opportunity to change into their comfortable clothes (or pajamas). We will be watching a movie in the afternoon. The students are allowed to bring in a small pillow or stuffed animal to have during the movie. If your child has a G-rated movie that he or she would like to bring in for the class to watch that would be great. We will vote on which one to watch on Friday.

Take a look at the students' amazing newscasts filmed live on the planet they researched!

Now that the students have viewed each other's films, they will be doing a jigsaw activity to try and persuade their classmates to vote for their planets to win a variety of awards. 

Once the votes are tallied, we will have our culminating activity, an award show called the Solars, which is scheduled for Friday morning. The students are invited to come to school in their formal attire for this student-only red carpet event!

Alex's Adventures with Swinger


My Weekend with Swinger
By Alex Beihoffer

                  Swinger and I had a really fun weekend.  We played video games together on my iPod.  I got a really high score.  Then, Swinger and I had a staring contest and he won!  On Friday, my mom, my brother and I went to Dick’s to buy new basketball shoes.   My feet are bigger than Swinger’s.  On Sunday, I had basketball practice and I took Swinger with me.  He sat with my mom in the bleachers and watched me practice.  I took a picture of him in the car on the way home from basketball.  It was so much fun with Swinger.
