The New School Year is ALMOST Here!

Wow, in just a little over two short weeks we will be starting the 2010-2011 school year! This time of year brings about excitement, a few nervous moments, and lots of anticipation. I always love getting new students (even though it is heart-wrenching to see them leave in May). I wish for each of my students a year filled with challenges and fun!

I keep dates posted on the blog and little notes about what is going on in our classroom so be sure to come back from time to time and see what is knew!

Woo Hoo!!

TAKS scores came in and they are awesome! ALL of our class passed the reading and the math tests with flying colors.

In our class 12 students received Commended Performance in Reading. A student receiving this status could miss no more that TWO questions! WOW! And in math, seven students received Commended Performance. Three questions could be missed to receive this status in math.

We have had a great year so this was a perfect way to end it!

Just Laugh!

I have this poster hanging by the door of my classroom and then I found this quote today. I truly, truly hope this is how my students feel when they are in my classroom!

The Honduras Fund by Savannah

I went around classes picking up the money. How did I get classes to join to help and how did I do that? I wrote a letter to the classes saying please help our school raise money for the Honduras. All you have to do is ask people to help and because our school helped we now raised seven hundred seventeen hundred dollers and 81 cents. All together we raised $50,000 so now they are building a health care center for them, but we need more money than that. So please still be there and help us because there are children that are going to be born and they need medical care. Thank you for being there with us.

How I felt when I helped Honduras by Katelyn

When I helped Honduras it made feel good because they have to eat trash from the dump and they live in the dump. It also made me feel helpful because my class donated money for the Honduras.
Then we asked all the teachers in C.E.S. to help donate money so my class wrote letters to the teachers and some of them did and some of them didn't. So, we told them to try to donate money so the people in Honduras could eat good food. Then our classroom went to get the money from the classroom and the whole C.E.S. students came up with $717.81 now the Honduras can eat good food.

The Honduras Fund by Bryan

People from C.E.S. help raise $50,000. They did this so they could help people in Honduras. People to brought money to school to help and raised $717.81. About 300 people live in the dump. C.E.S. was happy to give the money.

Us Helping Hondurus By Dallas

I think this is a good example for the kids in C.E.S . And this is a good thing for the kids and adults that don't have any food in Hondrus we are trying to get every kid and adult food. So that way we can feel good and the adults too.
