Classroom Campout

Our third graders will get to enjoy a Classroom Campout this Friday to celebrate that they practiced IXL math outside of school more than any other grade level! Thank you for your partnership in encouraging your child to find fun ways to practice and strengthen their math skills at home. Their hard work truly paid off, and we are excited to celebrate their effort together.

Poem Due Thursday March 12th

Jimmy Jet And His TV Set

I'll tell you the story of Jimmy Jet--

And you know what I tell you is true.

He loved to watch his TV set

Almost as much as you.

He watched all day, he watched all night

Till he grew pale and lean,

From "The Early Show" to "The Late Show"

And all the shows in between.

He watched till his eyes were frozen wide,

And his bottom grew into his chair.

And his chin turned into a tuning dial,

And antennae grew out of his hair.

And his brains turned into TV tubes,

And his face to a TV screen.

And two knobs saying "vert." and "horiz."

Grew where his ears had been.

And he grew a plug that looked like a tail

So we plugged in little Jim.

And now instead of him watching TV

We all sit around and watch him.
