Reading Buddies

Buddies
Once a week Ms. Bird’s awesome sixth graders come to Mrs. Jorgensen’s second grade class. It gets pretty crowded in our room. They help us read, work onfluency, and play math games. We are always looking for new things we can learn together.
Second graders think their buddies are nice and smart. They like that sixth graders can read things to them that they can’t read yet. One second grader likes when his sixth grade buddy brings his joke book. Another second grader likes the silly faces his sixth grade buddy makes.
The sixth graders like to read and talk to their second grade buddies. They think we are fun. Sixth graders are able to help out, teach, and have fun at thesame time.
Once a month, Mrs. Jorgensen’s second grade class gets to be the big buddy and go to Ms. Ellinger’s Special Education class. Students read books and play games together. It is great to see a second grader encourage and help another child.

Easton Barrett

Easton Barrett, from Mrs. Clark's 1st grade class, brought in some prizes from his garden to share with his class.  He had the tiniest carrots and the biggest cucumber they had ever seen.  Do you like his “S” shaped cucumber also?

Grant Gardner

Have you ever wondered what happens to the winners after the Hershey Track Meet has happened in the spring?  Grant Gardner from Brookside Elementary found out.  After winning the 800 meter race in competition with the Springville schools, he went on to district and then the state competition. At the state race, he won with a time of 2:26—12 seconds ahead of his nearest competitor.  With that victory, he won an all expense paid trip to the National Hershey Track Meet, held in Pennsylvania.  There, he met boys and girls from all over the USA and Canada.  Grant competed in the 800m with 13 other boys. Said Grant, “When I raced on Saturday, I was really anxious at first, but when it got time for my race, I was just excited.” Grant finished the race in 6th place in the nation for boys his age.  Congratulations Grant!
