Gordan Korman

Your child probably came home excited that they got to meet a REAL, LIVE author!  Gordan Korman has written MANY series for book geared for kids in grades 3 and above.  We read a few in our classroom including Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire.   He talked to us about becoming a published author when he was a young kid and how his writing process works.  He told us to think of the "What ifs" as we look around our world.  Some students were able to ask questions and even receive a signed book!

Randy Peterson

We have Randy Peterson visiting this week and next week!  What a treat!  I remember going to his shows as a kid!  He is so talented.  On Monday we met with him and had a song in about a half hour!  We are singing a cool rock song about rocks!  Today we finished it up, sang it for practice and learned about guitars.  Next week we get to go to a recording studio in the music room to record it! Here's a sneak peek!

Staff Variety Show

At the end of February, the students earned a staff variety show because of earning enough Phantastic Phantom slips for PBIS.   We had a lot of fun.  The 3rd grade teachers competed as sumo wrestlers!  Whoop 'Em Up Wisneski took 1st and Krahn the Krusher took 2nd!   Here are some pictures from the show!
