Mr. Haney's Rocking Rams Keeping up with the students in B124! 

Are you a state or a country? What are some famous landmarks in your state? Who are some famous people from your state? These were just a few questions the student asked and answered in our first Mystery State competition. After going round to round with questions the class realized the mystery class was from Georgia. The class from Georgia knew right away who we were after our clue on famous places included Graceland and the Smoky Mountains. We had a great time with Mrs. Ponder’s seventh grade class and I know the class is looking forward to the next round of Mystery State.

Well, not everyone. Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth are not alive but if they were I bet they would be! The students made fake Facebook profiles for famous abolitionists. You can check out more Facebook pages on the students’ blogs.

To spice up Open House, the students made wordles. The students had to describe themselves using adjectives, nouns, and verbs. During the Open House, the parents had to guess which one was their child’s.

After years of planning and hard work, the PTO opened Rocky Hill’s first walking trail. The trail goes around the intermediate playground and through the primary playground. The school had a big kick off to celebrate the occasion. Even though it was a hot day, the students enjoyed being apart of history.

Students had to bust out their art skills yesterday in science during our craft cell activity. With the help of pasta, beads, pipe cleaners, yarn, and some other random items, students worked with their portfolio partners to create homemade plant and animal cells. The students will be posting their projects on their blogs this Friday so check out their hard work.

One of the best parts of working at Rocky Hill is the kids. The students at this school are amazing! Take a look at a painting one of my new students, Madeline, made for my daughter. That is the second piece of art that is currently hanging in my daughter’s room. I feel very blessed that I get to work with these kids everyday.

What a great first day! It was only a half day, but I really got to know my new students. Now that we have got the forms, schedules, and rules out of the way, tomorrow we will bust out the technology. I can’t wait to see what great things these kids are going to do.
