One fell in the gross water
But she was alive

see a rainbow in the sky

Watch the magical nature
Brings the magic light

Stands in the river
And drinks pure, clear, cool water
His antlers are huge

Citizenship Day

Today is Citizenship Day! We will be going to an assembly this afternoon at 2:15 in the courtyard. One person from each class in the school will be sharing sentences his/her class wrote about being a good citizen. Alexis will be reading our sentences. Our sentences are: Being a good BES citizen means we learn. We are learning at BES when we cooperate with new people and people with disabilities. Before we go the assembly, Mrs. Halla will be giving us stickers that read "Proud BES Citizen!" We can't wait until the assembly!!!

Capture the Flag

Today our class had PE. PE stands for physical education. We had to run a lot today because we were playing Capture the Flag outside. In that game, you have to run to the other side and back with the flag. Lots of us were racing around and sliding to tag the person with the flag. When the last point was scored, Owen slid on the dirt and got all messy. After that, Owen got tagged by Tyler. As soon as the last game started, Jarred turned into a rocket and went after the flag. One team's strategy was to have the person running with the flag pretend to pass so that the other team would chase that person. Unfortunately, that strategy didn't work so well. :( One team scored 6 points and the other team scored 4 points. We had a good day at PE class. Mr. Bulger told Mrs. Halla her class has lots of energy and showed great sportsmanship.

First Day of School

When we first got into the classroom this morning we hung up our bags and worked on a word search that had all of our names in it. Next, we went to the courtyard for our back to school assembly. When we got back into the classroom we got settled into our desks. After that we started the Daily 5 and had some quiet Read to Self time. After a quick snack we went to the cafeteria to go over the procedures. Straight from there we went to Art. Each of us sketched our self portrait. Once we were back in the room, we practiced a fire drill and took a class picture which we hope to post soon. Finally it was recess time. Some of us played soccer, some of us played tag, and some went on the swings. Since there was no school yesterday, today was pizza day! This afternoon we completed a math BINGO sheet and played Addition Top-It. Luckily Mrs. Brooks was free to help us get our Enoboard working. We watched a BrainPOP video and wrote this first entry on our blog! It was a busy and fun day!!!
