Homecoming Week/Spirit Day!

What an amazing Homecoming Week! The last day of homecoming week was spirit day and my, oh my, did we ever have spirit! Between decorating the Holbrook poster, the Homecoming Parade, and (of course) the candy, we were flying high! It's no wonder that our football team pulled off a win vs. Ganado!

Way to go HHS!

Homecoming Week--Mismatched Day!

This is my favorite day so far! Just look through your closet and pick anything, because it doesn't matter if it matches or not!!

Ari's mismatched socks!

Brandon has style for miles!

Elizabeth wants everyone to know that she is mismatched head to toe!

Codie is rocking the mismatched look!

Kalub just woke up this mismatched!

Alexia is rocking mismatched socks!

Audrey is mixing styles--cowgirl + skater

Ken Ken decided to push the envelope with his shoes on the wrong feet!

Is that the front of your shirt on the back?

Kaitlyn is definitely mismatched!

Emily's bright colors are the best form of mismatched!

Homecoming Week--Twin Day!

Just like it sounds, we focused on dressing alike! Twins, to be exact. Crazy enough, we actually do have a set of twins in 5th grade! To be funny they actually dressed alike too!

Homecoming Week-- Tuesday!

On Tuesday, we continued our Homecoming Week celebration by wearing our fanciest footwear!
We had some really great footwear displayed! We also had a lot of students mixing it up with 2 different KINDS of shoes!!

Homecoming Week--Monday!

Welcome to Homecoming Week! Nothing I love more than some Friday Night Football!!
To celebrate Homecoming Week, we are showing our spirit in a variety of ways! On Monday, we focused on Crazy T-Shirt Day. I wore my favorite *NSYNC Concert Tee from the early age of 2000. I was 16 when NSYNC hit it big and I was a big, big fan!

I loved seeing our crazy t-shirts! Here's a look at what we wore!

Buy Our Products!

We see persuasive language everywhere! Buy This! ONLY $19.99!! Get it while you can!!! In fact, every commercial is persuading you in one way or another to buy their product.
As a way to apply our knowledge of persuasive language, students created their very own commercials!

MIGHTY muscles

Since we have been learning about the human body, it was time to put our muscles to the test. Using this worksheet:

  

students had to use a chair to complete as many push ups as they could at one time without resting! Our class average was 30 pushups, which is really quite great!! We had one student complete 110 push-ups!! AMAZING!!!!

Then, we took a short break to finish the math in the first column and did it again. You would think that the kids' arms would be EXHAUSTED from doing those pushups, but for the trial 2 we did even better! One student even did 122 pushups!! That means he did 232 pushups in one day!!!!!!!!!!! 

Take a look at our pictures below! They are really using their muscles!!!

 

September Students of the Month!

I don't know whether this was planned or not, but our Students of the Month are Alex and Alexia!! :)
I'm soooo excited to have them take the reigns for this month! They are both amazing kids with great big hearts and great attitudes! I couldn't ask for a better team to lead us through September!
