Cell Project - Ashton

Ashton had a big project due last week.  He had to make a 3-D cell, either animal or plant. He chose animal.  Believe it or not, it was pretty painless to put together.  The photo taking seemed to be more painful for Ashton haha.  He received a perfect score.  Woot Woot!!

Straight A's All Around

Brinley and Ryan were recognized today for receiving all A's for the past 9 weeks of school.  Ryan was also recognized for having perfect attendance during the same time period.  Way to go kiddos!!

Seussy Ethan

Here is the picture that Ethan had taken at the Dr. Seuss Night.  The PTA provided free pictures to the chldren who attended. I thought this picture was darling!

Dr. Seuss Fun!

Today at school they had a Dr. Seuss Birthday Party.  It was put on by the PTA so I was able to help out.  Here are some pictures of the event (plus a few other Seuss pictures from this week)

This is a fun craft that Ryan's class did today.  Since I was the mom helper, I had Brinley make one.  This is hers.

This is a bed sheet that a student teacher painted for our party tonight.  It was used for a fishing game.  The same teacher painted the Thing 1 and Thing 2 photo prop.  Quite talented!!

Ethan's School Project - The Three Little Pigs

Today Ethan has a project due.  He had to make a shoebox display of a Folktale Story.  He chose The Three Little Pigs.  I thought he did an amazing job!

Valentine's 2013

Here are pictures of the kid's Valentine's this year.  They turned out cute!

Mr. Roboto!

Today Ethan brought home a letter congratulating him on being accepted to the RSMS (Royal Springs Middle School) VEX Robotics Team.  He is very excited.  He had to apply for this and actually turned the application in a day past the deadline.  He thought for sure his dreams of being on this team were ruined!  I am so happy that he was able to make the team.  Watch for the adventures that I am sure we will have because of this!

We are hard to beat when in 4th grade

Today during an assembly they announced the winner of the Kentucky Kids Day T-Shirt design contest.  This is the contest 2 years ago that Ethan won.  He was in 4th grade.  This year Ashton is in 4th grade . . .

The Entries!

Today Brinley, Ryan and Ashton worked hard on their Kentucky Kids Day T-Shirt Design Contest entries.  This year's theme is Go For the Gold at Eastern Elementary.

The first step in the process is for each class to vote on the entries for their class.  Brinley and Ashton won in their class, Ryan did not.  :(

The next step is for the class winners to be voted on before the entire school.  Each student gets to vote for their favorite picture.  The kids do not know who drew the entries, what grade they are from, etc.  I think all the kids did a superb job!!
