BLAST OFF TO SUCCESS

Today we kicked of our ISAT testing. We had a teacher who had been chosen to participate in the teacher in space talk to us. She told us how we are just like the space shuttle--we have boosters to help us get into space, but then have everything we need and can go out into the stars alone. 



Then--we went outside and each class got to launch a rocket their teacher had made. Yes---we had the BEST rocket!!!!!!


WE ARE GOING TO DO AWESOME WITH OUR TESTING!!
Make sure you get a lot of rest and eat breakfast!!!

Be a Bucket Filler



During the month of April, as a school, we are going to focus on developing kindness toward one another. In class we read the book, Have You Filled a Bucket Today? which talked about how each of us have a bucket and that when we do something kind for someone else, we are filling their bucket. When we fill others' buckets, we are happy also. We don't want to be a bucket dipper, which is when we take out of someone else's bucket by the mean things we say or do.
In our classroom, we are watching to see the kind things other people do. Then, the students are writing these acts on a small piece of paper which we are posting and then filling our big classroom bucket.
Remember, you want to be a bucket filler, not a bucket dipper.
