Character Day

During the month of March, we had a Read-A-Thon. This was actually a lot of fun, and it was great to see the kids reading more and excited about the books they were finishing. The last day before Spring Break we had a fun Character Day. Each student (and teacher) came dressed as a favorite character. Everyone really got into it and there were a lot of great costumes.

I was Elizabeth from the Paper Bag Princess. If you have not read this children's book, it is about a princess who realizes that she doesn't need a prince to save her and tells the prince that although he has pretty hair and clothes, he is really just a bum.

Teachers on Character Day

All of the students and teachers dressed up in their costumes.

My Class- Junie B Jones, King Josiah from the Bible, Tiger from Winnie the Pooh, and Lucy from the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

Nate Saint Memorial School Song Video

We have a song that we sing at the school. We love to sing it for visitors because it talks about life in Shell. Well, the 5th-8th grade classes made a video of a special version of this song. It is hilarious, and I thought you guys might enjoy it.

Just think: If you come and visit us, we will sing this song for you in person. It even has motions :)

Mismatch Day

More Mismatch Day

My 1st and 2nd graders got to throw balls
 through the hoop for water balloons
 to be popped over my head. That water was so COLD.

February

We had a water games day that ended
 with a HUGE water fight.

Shari (5th-6th grade teacher) and I had the older
 students over for  nachos and a movie!

*The 3rd and 4th grade teacher had to return to the states. A parent volunteered to teach in the morning, but she is not able to teach in the afternoon. So now in the afternoon, I teach 1-4 grade science and social studies. Its one big class and we are doing the 3rd grade curriculum. It has been a challenge but over all I think that it is going very well.

We had a crazy hair Friday. Isn't Shari's hair just the best :)

These two are brother and sister. He has some of her hair as a mustache.
