Even the girls have joined the Who Dat Nation by asking for Saints shirts. We all rooted them on to victory tonight, and now they are going to the Superbowl! Let's hear it for our local team! Geaux Saints!

Connecting with the Arts

Yeah for field trips! Today, Haley's trip was all about the arts. First up was the play "Ba Hum Bug!" We were so glad Scrooge could change his ways and alter Christmas yet to come. After a picnic at the park, the group continued on to the Ohr museum. The highlight of the visit here was when the kids entered the pottery barn and found they would be painting their own ceramic tiles. We can't wait to see what Haley's looks like when it's fired and glazed!

VOLCANOES!!

The third graders completed a special research project about volcanoes. Haley had to write a research report about a favorite volcano and built a visual display to go along with her report. She is very interested in Japan, so chose Mt. Fuji. Her model was a hit with the class...it was yummy! Jenna wanted to make a cake volcano, too. She named it Mt. Edible. They both had a great time building and decorating...such creative kids!


"If you never climb Mt. Fuji you are a fool, and if you climb Mt. Fuji more than once you are a crazy fool."



Mt. Edible...yum, yum!

Reading Fair

The girls both entered the school's Reading Fair. They made display boards highlighting the main elements of a favorite book, and decorated it to encourage others to read, too. They had the best time putting them together, cutting and gluing and singing silly songs together. Their efforts and enthusiasm paid off; both won ribbons! Way to go!


Jenna's favorite book is Germs! Germs! Germs!



Haley is a Narnia fan...she did her project about The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
