May Days

May Days....

We are outside on May 1st as we practiced for the Showcase....

 We enjoyed a Pizza Party from Jack Gratwick, OGHS senior, as the class who collected the most books for Long Leaf Elementary. 

We enjoyed a visit from AnnaKate Baggents, a former OGP student, now at Southern Miss.  She had just returned from a study abroad.  She shared some advice with Bennett's Blues about reading and studying hard every day.

Benjamin brought a penny for everyone in the class when he was snack helper.  He had everyone look for the lowercase letter on the front and told them what it meant!

Sara was recognized for bringing Box Tops!!!!  Bennett's Blues won the last Box Tops contest of the year and will get the trophy!

Ms. Valencia and Lena dropped by to see Silvia.

 Happy Birthday Sydney!!!!

This is what a rained out Pow Wow Day looks like.....

Showcase: Rumpelstiltskin Little Warrior Style IV

Last Thursday Amarie and Barrett wore their Regional Science Fair T-shirt to school.  Both girls won medals at USM!  We are very proud of them!!!

Ms. Kami came to eat lunch with Maggie last week.

 Happy Birthday to Amarie!!!

Ms. Ogla and Mr. David surprised Amarie with a dragon shaped cake and a book about a princess and a dragon.  They said that Amarie was their little princess!

 Everyone loved it when the lights went out and the dragon could really breath fire!!!! Everyone loved it!!!!

Amarie chose to take one kiss on a sticky note!

Look at these precious kids waiting under the tables during the bad weather on Thursday.  We were one of the last two classes who got caught in the cafeteria when the siren when off.  Mrs. Beth took good care of us and moved us into the pantry after about 10 minutes.  The children were very brave!!!!
