Talking Behind Backs

We had a morning task today that gave new meaning to "talking behind someone's back". I wanted to do something encouraging for the students and something that would be fun on the last day of school. We went around and wrote kind notes about each other on the papers taped to their backs. It was a lot of fun and something neat to keep and look at as we get older.

Heritage Days Video

Heritage Days

This is a video from our heritage days event! It was awesome to be able to take a little trip back in time to see what life was like several years ago. We got to see a horse get new shoes, watch Native Americans cook food over an open fire, hear live bluegrass music from local musicians, a pioneer story teller, and take a gallery walk to look at artifacts new and old. We ended the day with a Heritage Day Revue and the kids did a fabulous job! Way to go, Panthers!

Skype to London, England

Today has been such a busy day with Heritage Days, but we were able to squeeze in a SKYPE session with a professor at Lindsey Wilson College, who lives here in Burkesville. She has been visiting London the past few days and we got to catch up with her today! She said it had been a very exciting day, because she had seen Prince Charles and President and Mrs. Obama! She talked with us in front of the London Bridge, which was neat to see! Check out our pictures and video!

Career Day Video

Career Day

This is a video I created using Animoto. There are snapshots of some of our presenters and family members who was able to attend! A special thank you goes to the FRYSC for helping us organize the event at Dale Hollow State Park and all the volunteers and parents who were able to share on this special day with us! It is never to early to plan for our futures!

Christmas Service Learning Project

When I was going through my pictures today that were saved on my computer, I stumbled upon this one. It was taken the last day before Christmas break of all the fourth grade after we had completed our service learning project. We had a contest with which homeroom could collect the most canned goods and each child donated $1 instead of exchanging gifts with each other. We delivered our donations to the Salvation Army organization and they provided cookies and punch for us. It was a wonderful project and taught us it is better to give than to receive!
