Christmas

Hello. Christmas is next week on Friday. In other countries they celebrate Kwanzaa, Christmas, or/and  Hanukkah. Christmas is the time for being with your family and friends. Christmas is also about giving and receiving. Most people help out at a soup kitchen or help at a homeless shelter. For Christmas I want a iPod 5G.

Here are some suggestions for what to get a kid.

• board games
• Clothing
• Shoes 
• Books
• A toy of some kind

The things that some of the bloggers want for Christmas.

• Itunes Card ($75?)f for Owen
• ? unknown for Josie
• Dragon (Norwegian Ridgeback) or a hippogriff for Bird
• iPhone 6 for Penelope
• Apple Products for Tommy (iPhone 6 plus)
• iPhone and gift cards for Charlotte

Relatives please look at these wisely. 

                                                            Hope you have a Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Hanukkah, Love Frenya H.

Holidays!

Ciao, io sono cosi eccitato per domani!(I am so excited for tomorrow!)

We are reaching the end of the semester, and with that comes many awesome end-of-the-year-things! We are watching a movie, and we can come to school in our pajamas! We will celebrate CHRISTMAS!!! I am sooooo excited to take a break from homework and such... but we will miss our friends and teachers! 

As all bloggers have probably mentioned in their posts, Ellis Island is approaching. In fact, it is closer than that. ELLIS ISLAND IS TOMORROW!!! We are so excited!!! Going through medical exams and legal examination could not get more fun than this! Today we will get a run-through of how we will enter and such, and the decor is looking awesome so far! 

Addio ragazzi!

The Food Bank

Yesterday (By yesterday I mean Tuesday) Ms.Wilcox's class got to the food bank because we won the Can-A-Thon! It was cool seeing how they put the bags together to help the needy that need food. Another awesome part was the walking part. Other than the walking field trip is that tomorrow is the Ellis Island simulation!

                                                                    Peace out,
                                                                                Tommy H.

Georgia Creams Furman

Did you watch the Lady Dawgs basketball game? We destroyed Furman 77-39. We were doing terrible in the first half.  But then we did amazing in the 2nd half. We held them scoreless for a long time. We cheered very loud when they scored. And then when it came to an end and we were all filled with joy.

Christmas Time Is Here

Christmas time is here! I am so filled with joy and cheer! I can not wait 'til Christmas so that I can be filled with sugar and food! I will be buried in wrapping paper and mostly presents. But the most important thing is family (And CHOCOLATE).

crazy week update

Charlotte here,

So, I am going to tell you a little about how my crazy week went.So on Friday I had my show at 8:30 in the morning with full make up and a bon-bon costume and I wore it down town to the Morton Theater(I looked a little wacky going down town looking like a confection).It went pretty smooth but, I was bored waiting.When I finished I had a run through right after it. I got picked up at 11:30 and I was pretty pumped to get out of my scratchy costume.I ate lunch and returned at 4. I got to watch the first winter recital with my mom and it was really fun! I waited some time and danced my part, I missed the bow and went to my friend's b-day.That was only Friday!

                                                                        Goodbye day,

                                                                             Charlotte M

Christmas Presents!!!!!

Merry [almost] Christmas!

What do you guys think you're gonna get for Christmas? Well, if you go around shaking boxes, you may break something!! I'm not saying I go snooping around my parents' closet [which I totally do,] but sometimes it's really easy to tell what you're gonna get for Christmas! Here are some of the things that the other bloggers are going to get for Christmas:

Bird: A phone case, earrings, and York peppermint patties
Josie: Headphones, and Harry Potter stuff
Tommy: Unknown
Owen: A lot of king-sized candy bars
Charlotte: An iPhone
Frenya: Hopefully an iPad
Mrs. Hudson: Melvie will probably make her something at school 
Penelope [me]: An iPad, books, and iTunes gift cards

That's a WRAP,

Penelope

Holiday Breakfast

Hei! miten olet ollut? 

We are having a last-day-of-school-before-Christmas-break-party on the 18th, and one of the events that will take place on that day: holiday breakfast! We will devour most of the following: doughnuts, OJ and apple juice, some sort of bagel, bacon, eggs, pancakes, grits, biscuits, waffles, and much more. (Sorry if you haven't eaten lunch, breakfast or dinner; because I probably worsened the situation.) I am bringing juice, but some people are bringing crazy things, like apple swans. So I believe that we will be well fed next Friday. ;) So excited!!!!!

Hyvasti kaikille!

Winter Cleaning And 5th Breakfast

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d3/Clorox_Bleach_products.jpg

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d5/Commercial_cleaning_materials.jpg

In Ms. Thompson's class, next week we have a lot of cleaning in our classroom. Our book bins are a mess, and our classroom is out of order. Ms. Thompson's desk is like a tornado came. We also have to clean up the mess from 5th grade breakfast. After all the cleaning is done, our classroom should be as good as new to start the new year!

The 5th grade breakfast is December 18. It's like a potluck. Each kid has to bring a dish. You could bring orange juice or apple juice. Also, eggs, bacon, grits, pancakes, waffles, bagel, doughnuts, biscuits, or fruit. I can't wait until the 5th grade breakfast!

Basketball Field Trip

On Tuesday, all 2nd to 5th grade in a lot of the Clarke County schools went to a basketball game! It was the Lady Dogs basketball so it was all girls. I don't remember the name of the team that they played against but I do know that they were from South Carolina. Everyone was pretty happy because UGA won! We all got free lunch and red and black pom-poms. The lunch wasn't that bad but their sandwiches were a little soggy. My favorite part was just sitting and talking with friends. I suggest that you go see them!

Winter Musical!!!

Hello, 

       This week we are doing a musical called The Reindeer Whisperer! I am very excited about the musical! The songs are really fun, and we are doing a LOT of rehearsals for the musical. We are rehearsing in the gym on the risers. There are a lot of parts in the play. Here are some of the main roles in the play:

 1. Santa- played by Luke T.

 2. Mrs. Claus- played by Dylan M.

 3. Reindeer Whisperer- played by Lucas D.

 4. Herbie- played by Demarion T.

 5. Reindeer- played by Amelia, Ethan, Tommy, Andrew, Spencer, Jasmine, Lilly, Khalilah

 6. Elves- played by mixed grades

The musical is about reindeer who overhears the elves talking about overhearing Santa talking to someone about taking the reindeer to California for a vacation. The elves and reindeer think that they are being sent to retire, so the reindeer get all upset over that and the Reindeer Whisperer comes to find out why the reindeer won't fly. They finally figure out, after about 2 or 3 songs, that they were to upset to fly! That is basically the whole play! Goodbye!

My CRAZY Calendar

This week has been crazy with my crazy schedule! I have several events I have to get ready for listed on my calendar. I have 2 dance rehearsals one with the testing of the lights and one dress rehearsal with my costume and make-up. I had a play practice which I had to miss and my piano recital coming up this Sunday, which I picked a pretty dress for. I have 3 shows on Friday, so I will miss school on Friday! Also my sister has a birthday and I will go to a party for 40 minutes in my costume and makeup and then go to my show. Bye for now.

Ellis Island

On December 17 the 5th grade will have an Ellis Island simulation. We will know how it felt to be a immigrant. We will be able to dress up. We will be able to pretend to be someone from Ireland, Italy, and Germany. I am from Ireland (whoooohooo). I can't wait for December 17.

UGA Basketball Game!

Our school and other schools get to go to the UGA basketball game! It is (of course) UGA vs. Furman University. But I just learned that it is women's basketball, not men's like the other games that I saw when I was younger. We won all the games that we saw. We are going to wear our Chase Street T-shirts to the game to keep track of the students and to represent our school. I just can't wait for the game! I am literally jumping out of my seat! GO DAWGS! SIC'EM! WOOFWOOFWOOF!

Winter Musical

On December 8th is our holiday musical. 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade participate in the musical. We have to stand on the risers.  The dance moves were created by Mrs. Ragsdale. This year's play is called The Reindeer Whisper. Last year it was Once on a Housetop. In third grade, the musical was Happy the High Tech Snowman. Happy the High Tech Snowman is about a snowman who came to life and helped kids. This year, Cesar Salad is the Reindeer Whisper, and he's trying to get the reindeer to fly. For the musical, we have to wear blue jeans and a solid color t-shirt. The songs are "Christmas Eve Eve," "Why Won't You Fly," "Words Can Hurt," and "It's Time to Fly." Chorus also has to perform at the musical. Anyone is welcome to come. Free admission! We would love if more and more people would come!

Musical

Throughout this week we have been practicing our winter musical NONSTOP! I do not like to sing so I just lip sync but I do the dance moves. The thing that I do not like about the musical is having to be smushed and smashed on the risers because you cannot move and do the dance moves very well. I do like that I get to work on the backdrop in art club. This year's show is called The Reindeer Whisperer and it is about Santa's reindeer not wanting to fly. It is on December 8th and I suggest that you come!

                                                    Bye, Josie T.
