Ashley, Hannah, and Pete-ready to watch Daniel and Ryan's class presentation
They are all ready!
These are some girls and the Music teacher leading the kids in singing
Below is Ryan's friend Daniel-the school's chapel theme for this year is being a peacemaker and their class talked about the Golden Rule. Several children talked about examples of how you can do unto others as you would have them do to you-Ryan talked about being a good listener to your friends.
They also sang 2 songs
At the end of the program one of the boys led the kids in a dance! and they all whipped out their sunglasses! It was "the cool surprise at the end" that Ryan wouldn't tell me about ahead of time
They all get certificates of participation at the end
Afterwards one of the teachers gets up and announces birthdays for the week. This week it was the principal's birthday. Dr. Southerland is on the left end and standing next to him is, I think, the smallest child in the whole school!
Here is a sign for his birthday!
Brent pride awards for the week
Ryan and Daniel after the program
The class did a terrific job! Mr. Marozzi is a wonderful teacher! When they studied about germs, they looked at them under a microscope and then drew what they looked like magnified. They had a story about Henry and Mudge going camping and he brought a tent to the classroom and had the kids help him set it up and they got to read inside it! They do an estimation jar every week and whoever has the closest estimate gets all the candy in the jar to share with classmates. They earned a party recently for getting compliments from special area teachers about their behavior so they ate ice cream and watched a movie-pictures to follow soon. Ryan is learning a lot and really enjoying school this year!
What a great year Ryan is having! I remember a certain other third grade teacher who was also so much fun that the kids learned without realizing it. things like a penguin party after reading Mr. Popper's penguins...
