One of my former students (I had him as a 5th grader) is the Running Back for Lakeside High School. He came by to surprise me on Monday morning! He brought so much joy to my heart. He talked with the kids and told them that they are lucky to have me as their teacher.
AWWW SHUCKS! Sniff...Sniff. Beaming with Pride.
He also told me that I was the first person who ever believed in him. He was a challenging student to say the least. He was always joking and playing around. He rarely turned in his homework or class work and he was (is) absolutely BRILLIANT ....I used to get so frustrated with him. He told me that all those little mini lectures and talks we had paid off. He's a wonderful student now, taking AP classes! What a great way to start my Monday!
Visitor #2
My son had a teacher workday today so I asked Michael if I could bring him to work with me, rather than take a personal day. So, Mr. Cole came to GLOBE today and was a really good boy! The kids were so kind and sweet to him and they took care of him as if he were their little brother. They also taught him some Chinese! He had such a great day and the kids wore him out because he is sound asleep on the couch right now!
CHINESE CULTURE
The kids made clocks with Chinese numbers today and also read their letters from their Chinese pen pals! Yes, Wu Laoshi has a friend in China who teaches 3rd grade. So the kids write letters and the 2 teachers take photos of the letters and text them back and forth. Such a great experience for the kids!
FUN RUN
We are participating in FUNRUNTIME.COM! The children are being asked to get pledges for running laps! All prizes are being donated to children in need and proceeds go toward a new playground for our school!
Here is the message from Mr. Molina if you haven't already read it:
It's Fun Run Time.COM!!! We kicked off of the Fun Run Fundraiser for GLOBE today!
The FundRunner Team will be talking to our students about different character traits that will help them in and out of the classroom!
The FundRunner Team will also help our school raise money that will be allocated to improvement and/or additions to outdoor playscapes and learning environments for Globe students. Remember, the more money we raise the more money our school keeps!
Your student will be coming home with their Pledge Form today!
Your student will be coming home with their Pledge Form today!
You can turn in pledges two ways:
- Go to FunRunTime.com and enter your child's access code found on the front of his/her pledge form. You can record your sponsors on this page.
- Or fill out sponsor information on the pledge form, turn it in daily and it will be returned daily!
* We are only collecting pledges right now; the money will be due after the Fun Run.
In lieu of individual prizes our children will be donating all earned prizes to the children at My Sister's House, a shelter for victims of domestic violence.
Students will be working towards school-wide incentives including a school-wide Dance Party, Student Dress Up Day ( students will dress up in their own costumes, no masks/weapons), Teacher Dress Up Day, and if we reach our goal, Coach Corso will dress as a Banana and Mr. Molina will dress as an Angry Bird!
We hope you can come out and support your student at the Fun Run! The Fun Run is:
