Halloween Around the World

Our class researched and put together books taking make-believe trips around the world for Halloween. Each book was written, drawn, and colored by the students in our class. They each did a phenomenal job. They have been hanging outside our classroom since Halloween day and will be coming down! You will get to see them in their entirety at the end of the year. Until then, they will stay here with us at school in each student's folder. I am so proud of the hard work they put into it. They were truly works of art. 

Cuties for Cuties :)

As you may know Hulet lost its program for Fresh Fruits and Veggies from the state of Arizona. But that doesn't stop our awesome school from providing these yummy snacks for us anyways! We had cuties today as our snack. Yum! Yum!

Thanks Veterans!!!

This Veterans Day I want to send a special thank you to all those men and women who have served in our Armed Forces. A special shout out to my brother Ryan who is currently deployed to the Middle East. I love you Ryan! Stay Safe!!!!

From Gabrielle:

Dear Veterans,

        Thank you for your help and I think about people that died for us. When they go off to war I will always remember the people that are trying to keep our country free and safe. I am thankful to the people that served for the Army, Navy, Air Force, and the Marines. My family likes to celebrate Veterans Day with my family on November 11. I wish that there was no more war because a lot of kids died from the war. When WWI started, my mom and her family were scared because they were all women and kids like me and my brothers. I wasn’t born when it happened. I like to be free and safe with my family. I have a cousin that is going to join the Army. I am really sorry to the people that fought for our country and died. I have a blanket that has a teddy bear holding up a flag and sitting down smiling. I’m thankful to be free. Thanks to you veterans. I’m safe because of you.

Sincerely,

               Gabrielle

Halloween Party 2012

I hope each of you had a "boo"tiful time celebrating Halloween. We were able to get the party started with our school Halloween party. I appreciate all the parents that provided snacks for our party. We had a variety of healthy snacks and very little candy. (I'm sure they stocked up on candy that night anyways!) During the last hour of the day, we celebrated Halloween with one of my favorite movies, "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!" Some students dressed in their costumes and at the end we had a fun dance party. All in all it was a "ghoul"tastic Halloween!

Check out our pictures below!

Veterans Day

Dear Parents/Guardians,

        As you may know the Veterans Day program will be next Friday, November 9^th.  As a class, we’d like to honor those family members who have served in the military. We’d like to do this by bringing in pictures of those members of our family who have served.

        To contribute we will need a picture of that family member, the branch of military, and the dates (or estimated dates) of time served.  You and your child may write a short paragraph about them at home. If you cannot get it completed at home, bring it to school and we will make time here. The pictures and essays will be hanging in the hallway.

        Since last year my brother, Ryan, has been deployed to the Middle East. Following Veterans Day we will begin to write letters and send packages to soldiers stationed overseas. More details about this idea will follow.

        I look forward to collaborating on this project with you and your child!

                                

Homework Alert!!

Parents--
We are getting to the middle of the 9 weeks. Your child has been instructed to find and turn in some missing assignments, or late work assignments. Their name is currently written on the board with the missing work above it.
Here are some of the assignments your child may have work in:

I am still missing signed folders. Remember that signed folders must be signed every Friday, Saturday, or Sunday and returned to school on Monday. I am able to answer your questions, respond to notes, and check your child's work using this folder. It's very important that this folder is returned on Mondays!

Keep an eye out for our upcoming Veterans tribute. Letters will be coming home tomorrow!

Drug Free at Hulet Elementary!

As you know drug free week is the last week in October. This year we had many different ways to celebrate being drug free--crazy hair day, hat day, team jersey day, red day, and hippie day. The most important part of drug free week is being drug free. Drugs can ruin your life. People who use and abuse drugs and alcohol can lose their friends, their health, their family, and even their life. Join with us and be drug free for life!

We had two students win 2nd and 3rd place with their Drug Free Poetry!

3rd place winner: Tyler

Drug Free

Drugs make your teeth

Rot and make them

Ugly. It isn’t

Good to

Frequently do these horrible drugs, so join

Red ribbon week with

Every child in Hulet Elementary

Everyone is cool if they don’t do drugs.

Money shouldn’t be used to buy drugs for eternity.

Everyone should not use drugs!

So be DRUG FREE!

2nd place winner: Cameron

No Drugs, No Way!

The best me is drug free

and if I’m not free I’m not me.

There’s too much for me to be

So I’m going to be drug free.

Free at Hulet Elementary.

Just like you should be

Drugs are like bugs.

But I’d rather just have hugs.

Every poem was written with the great understanding of how drugs can mess up your life! Check out our other great poetry as well!!

Adrian:

The Best Me is Drug Free

Drug Free is the way I want to be.

I also want to be free.

I don’t care what people think.

In a blink of an eye.

I’ll be drug free!

Gabrielle: 

The Best Me is Drug Free

Gabrielle likes to be drug free.

You can only stomp out drugs with lots of hugs

And you can stamp out smoke bugs with hugs.

The best me is to be drug free.

Kobi:

The Best Me is Drug Free

I like basketball

I was dribbling down the hall

Someone asked me to smoke

I said I might choke.

I don’t do drugs

Because I don’t get hugs.

The best me is drug free

and I will be the only Kobi.

DeVonta:

Be Drug Free!

If you do drugs you won’t be free.

I am free to be.

Don’t mess up your life,

because that’s not nice.

Smoking will affect your life.

Don’t chew

it’s bad for you.

It will mess up your attitude.

If you heard my rhymes

You know I did no crimes.

So be the best me.

Be drug free!

Marie:

Marie is Drug Free

Marie is drug free.

It’s a good way to be.

We can live together for eternity.

I like to read.

It’s a good way to feel free.

It helps your brain learn more.

You have to stomp on drug bugs

So you don’t get the suggs.

And you kill them with jugs.

The best me is to be drug free

You can be free

and play sports by the tree.

April:

Best Me is Drug Free

It’s the best me to be

drug free

of all the country

Drugs that attack your body and lungs

that make them black.

You make the teams with no drugs.

Don’t say anything to drug users!

Nishoni:

No Drugs!

The best

me is

drug free

it’s also the way to be.

Forget drugs

and just give hugs.

Make your future bright

Not dark like in the night.

Don’t smoke

or sometimes you’ll choke.

When you drink, mate.

You’ll never get a date.

If you do drugs

you go to jail

and you’ll never graduate from Hail.

I’m Nishoni

And the best me is DRUG FREE!

Ellie:

The Best Me is Drug Free

The best me is drug free

I don’t do drugs because I want to be healthy

I like to be happy

I like to be clean

I want to show others what life can be

if you are drug free

I want to be the best I can be

I want to be drug free

Dominic:

I like to be me

I like hugs

I like bugs

I like rugs, mugs, jugs, and pugs.

I don’t like thugs, slugs, and drugs.

I like to be me, free,

and in a group of we.

I really like to be drug free.

But the best me is drug free.

Jadin:

Drug Free

The best me is drug free

because I won’t be in jail you see

I am drug free because I am meant to be

drug free.

I like to be really happy

instead of really snappy.

I would like to be in a meadow

instead of being yellow.

Madison:

Hugs, Not Drugs

Stop drugs

instead give hugs

Drugs give your throat pain

and drains out your brain.

So get away from me

because I am drug free

for eternity.

Be like me

Forever drug free!

Natasha:

I love to be me

I love to be free

I also love being the best me

I want to be clean

I want to be the best me

and be drug free!

The best me is drug free

Don’t drink Bud Light,

instead have a Sprite

Have hugs and not  drugs

If you use dope,

I hope you use soap.

If you do drugs

Stay away from me

Cause I’m trying to be

the best me I can be.

Nevaeh:

 Drug Free

The best of me is drug free

I love to read

Reading makes you smart

Drugs make you smell bad

Drugs make your teeth yellow

You can DIE!

Be like Nevaeh

Don’t start!

Be smart!

Jelena:

No Drugs!

Drugs make your breath stink

Resist drugs

Ugly you will be.

Good you will feel when you quit.

Free you will be.

Rejoin with me to be drug free.

Enter fear with the good stuff.

Exit the world of drugs!

Orin:

The Best Me is Drug Free

The best me is to be drug free

Just like Bruce Lee

But if I start smoking

it is just like choking

and plus being broken

But if you drink,

you will never have a graduation

but have to take a navigation.

Zavi:

Drug Free

Drug free is the way to be free

at the end of the tere

to stomp on drug bugs with me

and you will be with me.

 


Natasia:

Hugs, Not Drugs!

Drug free is the way to be

When the drug bugs come to me

I say no way, Jose!

I’m a drug free girl!

If I do drugs,

I won’t get hugs.

I’ll be bad at sports.

If I let the drug bugs get me.

I won’t be proud of me.
