Book Buddies are a hoot!

Mrs. Hoover’s second grade class and Mrs. Spradley’s bb1Kinder friends are Book Buddies this year.  They spend time together each week learning new material, sharing favorite books, reading their own stories to each other, and so much more.  A particular lesson involved sharing a culminating activity on nocturnal animals.  Kinder friends have been studying the habitats and habits of nocturnal creatures; second grade friends were reviewing previous knowledge on the same subject.  They compared their notes and work by designing a wonderful thinking map in the form of an owl tree.  Each child did a hand print and decorated it to look like an owl then wrote a fact to share about these important nocturnal animals in our world.  As one little friend noted, “Working with my book buddy is always a real hoot!”  🙂  EnJOY!

STAND UP for the hungry!

Our Student Honor Council and their special guest, Kayleigh, spoke to us during Miller Rally today about our 6th Annual LME Food Drive.  Traditionally, we spend the month of November StuCo13-14collecting non-perishable food items to share with our local Manna House, a MISD community problem solving project started by 8th graders many years ago.  Kayleigh is assisting us this year specifically because one of her passions is making certain no one goes hungry in our community.

We encourage everyone to round up your canned and boxed food items all next week (Nov. 4 – 8) and bring them to your homeroom class.  Mrs. Stanley, LME counselor, reminds everyone to, “please check the expiration dates on your food products.”  Additionally, StuCo is challenging classes by offering a special “Scooby Doo and Popcorn Too” incentive for the six top classes, one from each grade level.  Let’s all do our part to STAND UP for the hungry in our own community!
