Vocabulary Parade Fun!!

  What an AMAZINGLY AWESOME day we had today!  It was our Annual Vocabulary Parade and I loved every second!  The students were so cute and I loved seeing all the creativity that each child exhibited!  It is such a fun day where students not only shine with creativity, but also learn new words!  SO MUCH FUN!!  Pictures are below!
   This Wednesday, October 31, we will have a small Fall Celebration.  Thank you to the parents who volunteered to bring in some sweet and salty treats.  I will be e-mailing you this weekend to finalize plans!  I am asking EVERYONE to bring in a bag of candy to share with their classmates.  NO PEANUTS, PLEASE!  The students will hand out candy to each other throughout the day, so please make sure there are at least 15 pieces of candy.  If your child wants to bring something that is not candy (pencils, bouncy balls, etc... ), please make sure there are at least 15!
    Thank you for the continued support, love, and care you give to Ezell-Harding Christian School!  We appreciate you!

Book Buddy Fun and OUR FIRST FIELD TRIP!!

   Happy Friday, Everyone!  We are in rocking and rolling in the second 9 weeks!  The students are learning new concepts, working hard, and not giving up!  I am so proud of each of them!  Please continue to work on Multiplication facts at home!
   Today was a fun-filled and exciting day!  We started our day with our sweet Book Buddies!  Each pair made a "spooky" picture using their hands and feet that they traced!  The pictures were so cute and creative.  Pictures of their drawings are below! 
   Later in the day, we had our first field trip!  Even though it was an in-school field trip, the kids had a blast.  It was with Green Door Gourmet.  A local farmer came to speak to us about the life cycle of a pet, designing a garden, and good bugs vs. bad bugs.   The students had a blast!  Below are pictures!
    Next Friday, October 26, is our Vocabulary Parade.  It will be from 8:30-9:30.  We would love to have you come and see all the creative ideas the students come up with!  Remember, your child chooses a word, dresses up to showcase that word, and has a sign to show the word and definition.
    Have a terrific weekend!

Spirit Week and Second Nine Weeks!!

    Welcome Back from Fall Break!  I hope that everyone had a week full of memories, relaxation, and rejuvenation!  I loved hearing all about the fun times had by each student.  We have started the 2nd nine weeks and the students are doing an AWESOME job.  As I told many of you in the conferences,  first nine weeks is a lot of review.  We are starting to get into new skills and concepts, which may mean that students have less time to complete work in class.  That results in more subjects coming home as homework.  Please continue to work on multiplication facts EVERY DAY.  We are building on these facts for new concepts, so it is imperative that they know their facts.
    This week was Homecoming Spirit week!  The students had a blast dressing up and showing their school spirit.  Below are some pictures from our week!  I hope to see everyone at the game tonight to cheer on our Fighting Eagles!
    Let me remind you that Tuesday, October 16, is a half day because of a teacher in-service.  Dismissal will be at 11:00 a.m.  If your child is staying for Extended Care, he/she needs a packed lunch.  Extended will start charging at 11:00 a.m.
   Friday, October 26, is the Vocabulary Parade.  Many of you have done this in the past years.  If you are new to Ezell, your student will pick a vocabulary word that he/she would like to showcase.  He/she will then dress up to show the meaning of the word.  For example,  you might come dressed in your pajamas and your word could be "exhausted".   Another idea is if you came with question marks all over you.  Your word could be "inquisitive".  I will encourage the students to choose a good "4th grade" word.  If you need ideas, Pinterest and the internet have A TON!  I cannot wait to see the creativity of each student!
    Have a wonderful week!
