Parents--
I handed out grades today! You can discuss these grades. I have had several of you contact me about your child! I don't mind answering your questions!!!

Kids Korner Santa workshop is this week. If you want your child to purchase things, please send money in an envelope/wallet. They must be responsible for their own money and gifts. Kids Korner has been kind enough to give each student a drawstring bag where they can store their goodies. We will be going as a class at 11:15 tomorrow, but after that they will be about to go on their own during recesses.

Please talk to your child tonight about homework!! It's all due on Friday!!

Fuel Up to Play 60: Super Bowl Breakfast Recipes

I have already posted our pictures from our breakfast winners, Natasha & Cameron, but I wanted to share with you their recipes as well.

I hope you will find time to try these delicious treats!

My Grandpa's Smoothies with Oatmeal
By: Cameron

1 carrot
1 banana
1 apple
1 orange
2 small handfuls of fresh spinach
1 cup Ocean Spray 100% Cranberry Pomegranate Juice
1 cup fat free milk
3 small handful frozen blueberries
1/2 cup oatmeal

Blend until smooth. Add a small about of milk or juice if it is too thick. Makes 2-3 large glasses.



Cinnamon Stick and Mexican Vanilla Oatmeal
By: Natasha

1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp. Mexican Vanilla
1Tbsp. Brown Sugar
1 cup Oatmeal
3 cups lowfat milk

Add milk to pan. Add cinnamon stick and brown sugar. Bring just to a boil and add oatmeal. Cook over low heat for 20 minutes. Serve with more milk if desired. Makes 2 servings.

Creature Reports

At the end of our study of ecosystems, each student was required to create a poster, powerpoint, or smartboard about their animal. We focused primarily on the animal's habitat, fighting skills, whether it is a predator or a prey, the height and weight of the animal, and added 10 fun facts about that animal. Each student had to then present their report to the class.

PowerPoint is a new program for a lot of students. If you have access to this program at home, via the chapter houses, or at the library, encourage your child to use it! They will become more familiar with the buttons and will find it much easier to use the next time they have a report!

Take a look at some of our creature reports!

All of these students did a great job! If you don't see your student's name listed, please speak with them about whether or not they completed their work. A few powerpoints weren't included on the blog because they weren't finished.

Missing Work/Homework ALERT!

Parents--
We have been working on our missing work for this 2nd quarter, but it hasn't all been turned in yet. If you can, talk with your child tonight about missing work. They will need to complete it and turn it in before December 14th if they want it graded. If it's not turned in by Friday, December 14th, the zero (or in some cases low grade) will stand. Thank you for your help!

Students participating in the Hulet Christmas Concert tomorrow night will STILL need to have this homework done tonight to avoid owing recesses tomorrow!

Breakfast at Tremonti's

You might remember an old classic "Breakfast at Tiffany's," but in this classroom we refer to it as Breakfast at Tremonti's. In our class breakfast on Thursday, we were fortunate enough to have Natasha and Cameron create a delicious breakfast recipe using oatmeal. I know I am personally not a fan of the rolled oats as a breakfast, but Cameron and Natasha's recipes had my mind blown!! We are so proud of these two girls and their delicious make-overs of this boring breakfast food.

Cameron created an oatmeal smoothie which consisted of things you might not expect: carrots, spinach, blueberries, pomegranate. It was delicious!

Natasha used an original oatmeal recipe, but added her own vanilla and cinnamon to make it extra sweet!

Not only did they win for 5th grade at Hulet, but they will be entered to win tickets to next year's Super Bowl in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Cameron & Natasha with their tasty oatmeal treats!

Passing out our treats!

Gobble! Gobble! Blue Group loves Natasha's oatmeal too!
