Haylee has written a piece about last month's book club competition.

Last month for book clubs we had four groups. We had Ellis Island, If you lived among the Cherokee, Tornados, and Phoebe the spy. Those are the books we did.

When we take our A.R. tests we see how many points ad up. The winning book was Ellis Island. They got smelly pencils. They were Reagan S., Bailey, Kaycee, and Haylee.

That’s  what we did for book club.

Accelerated Reader Party

Mrs. Reid was in charge of the Accelerated Reader party for 2nd quarter.  All of the grade school kids except for two made 100%.  She had the kids bring things with wheels so that they could ride in the parking lot.  It was supposed to be a beautiful day.  Since it turned out windy and cold, Mrs. Maynard said the kids could use the Blue Gym instead.  How fun is that?
Here is Braedon's report on the party:

The elementary school had an AR party 1/17/12! For those of you that do not know what AR is it is when everyone who reads a book that is AR and is worth at least ½ of a point get points if you get 60% 70% 80% 90% or 100% you get the points and you have a goal to see if you finish your AR before the quarter ends.

                                          All of the elementary finished their goal and made it to the AR party.  What we did at the AR party is we brought our bikes scooters roller skates or skate boards to the blue gym an rode them in there.


Since my whole class made 100%, I had to wear my roller skates to school one day.  Luckily, I didn't fall down.
