Candy Corn Winners!

Scavenger Hunt Winners

Over 90 students participated in our CANDY CORN SCAVENGER HUNT

This is pretty amazing and of course I was thrilled that you found the time to visit the blogs with your children.

I found a great candy corn sale at Walgreens, so instead of five randomly drawn winners, I drew 12 winners.   The winners of the candy corn bags are:  Gerrit Klyn, Cade Schoonbeck, Ellise Crowley, Colby Hogle, Brayden Schoonbeck, Brenden Tockstein, Spencer VanTol, Emma Everts, Melia Brewer, Jordan Holiday, Quinn Baar and Samantha Missad.

Two classes tied for the most students to complete the scavenger hunt. Each class wins an extra recess supervised by ME!  The winning classes are:

gerrit klyn
Cade Schoonbeck
Ellise Crowley
Colby Hogle
Brayden Schoonbeck
Brenden Tockstein
Spencer VanTol
emma everts
Melia Brewer
Jordan Holiday
Quinn Baar
Samantha Missad

Mrs Kuieck’s 2nd Grade Class and  Miss Taber’s 1st Grade Class

Have a great Halloween weekend!

Mrs. Reagan

PS:  Next scavenger hunt will be just before Thanksgiving and involve an animal that has wings but doesn’t fly very well.

Silly Scavenger Hunt Winners

MaggieWe had a three way classroom tie for our SILLY SCAVENGER HUNT WINNERS! These classes had the most scavenger hunt participants and have won an hour of choice activity time:  Mrs. Boersma, Mrs. Bouwens and Mrs. Burdis.   It is important to note that Mrs. Burdis’ class had the highest average of participants in all three scavenger hunts!

The individual winner for the hunt was Maggie in Mrs. Kuieck’s second grade classroom.  Maggie won a $10 Barnes and Noble gift card along with some yummy holiday candy.

Over 80 students participated in the hunt.  This earns them an extra ticket in the Reading Counts drawing that will take place later this week.

We have had three scavenger hunts so far this year–all designed to help you get to know the teaching staff.  We kicked off the year with a hunt about vacations, followed by one about hobbies, and ended with “silly things teachers do.”  In all, we had 331 people participate in our hunts!  I think this is incredible.

It is my hope to kick off a student scavenger hunt this winter!  More news to come in 2010.   Mrs. Reagan

Silly Scavenger Hunt

Ever wonder what teachers do to be silly?  I have!  To help us all find out, I invited the teachers to all write posts this month about something silly they did over the summer.  You can visit their blogs to find out what it is they consider silly.  If you don’t see the post on the front section of the blog, simply type the word silly into the blog search area.

My silliness usually shows up when I am around really young children and dogs.  My dog, Cooper, brings out some of my silliest behavior, which I think he likes a lot.Silly

This summer, I decided it would be fun to teach Cooper how to be a “SURFIN’ DOG.”  Because he only weighs 12 pounds, I used a small kick board.  It was easy to teach him how to walk onto the board, but he had absolutely no intention of being pushed across the pool.  His idea of surfing was to cozy up to me and be gently rocked back and forth.  It was a silly idea…but it made for a great picture!

HAPPY HUNTING!

Scavenger Hunt Winners: September

This past September we kicked off our first BLOG scavenger hunt! The goal of the hunt was to increase the readership of our blogs by offering prizes for students who participated.  The theme of the September scavenger hunt was “teacher vacations”.

Each student who participated (140 total) received a ticket for our upcoming Reading Counts drawing.  In addition, the classroom that had the most participants (Mrs. McDonald’s 3rd grade) won and hour of teaching time with ME as their teacher.  Finally, all students who participated were entered into a blog drawing and one student was selected–winning a $10 gift card to Barnes and Noble and a pumpkin carving kit!  Congratulations, Ray!

We have just kicked off our second scavenger hunt, TEACHERS HAVE HOBBIES, TOO! To participate, read through the blogs and enter your finds in the survey answer form. Happy Hunting…and thank you for reading our blogs, too!
