GOTCHA ASSEMBLY

We had a fantastic RESPONSIBILITY assembly on Friday.  We won prizes, sang songs and played games!  While we will continue to be responsible, our next character trait we focus on will be CARING.

Here are some pictures of the FUN we had on Friday !

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Today we made Pinecone Turkey Thanksgiving Centerpieces.  The kids had a blast putting all the feathers on their pinecone, we have some very fluffy turkeys!  We also learned about the Pilgrims and the Indians at the first Thanksgiving and compared some of the foods they ate to the foods we eat today.  We learned that being a Pilgrim would have been hard and it was a good thing they had the Indians to help them get through their first hard winter.

Character Education Assembly

For the month of October and part of November the Helix Grizzlies K-4 will be focusing on the character trait RESPONSIBILITY. We will be working towards demonstrating responsible behaviors here at school: in the classroom, lunchroom, on the playground, hallways and everywhere in between. We had a great assembly! The high school drama class came and acted out a few ways we can be responsible. Then we got necklaces with a green responsibility charm. We also talked about ways to earn "gotcha tickets" and be entered into a drawing for prizes. Then we switched gears and played Minute to Win It-Chocolate Unicorn. Ask your child about watching the contestants compete against the clock to stack 5 Ding Dongs on their head in one minute.

Learning about responsibility....

High school kids show us the "DOs" and "Don'ts"

Stacking 5 Ding Dongs may look easy,

it is not easy to do.

Victoria from our class was chosen to try the Chocolate Unicorn!

In the end , Mr. Curtiss was the only successful Chocolate Unicorn!

CROCODILE ROCK!
