Fun Friday

Last Friday, we had an eventful day at PGE!  We began the morning with our Halloween Parade.  The students looked amazing in their costumes.  Thank you to all of the parents that came out to see our students all dressed up.  I really think the students enjoyed showing their friends in other classes their costumes, as well as family and friends that showed up to watch.  After the parade, our students got to participate in their Halloween parties back in the classrooms.  A big thank you goes out to the room parents that came and helped make this day such a success.  Thank you to all of the families that donated goodies for the parties.  The games and activities in all of the classroom were amazing! I saw masks, "Halloween" snow globes, games, spider webs, etc. 

After the parties, the students had their first PBIS assembly for the year.  The students danced and moved and had a great time during the assembly.  As a school we reviewed the rules of what being respectful looks like here at PGE!  The students and staff participated in several skits and reviewed what being respectful means.  Additionally, we had several prizes winners throughout the assembly.  The students earned opportunities to participate and win prizes by redeeming Eagle Eye Tickets at the store.   We ended the assembly with a game in which Mrs. Sowers, Mrs. Kleckler, and myself were wrapped in toilet paper by students for a Mummy Race game!  The students were excellent cheerleaders during the game!  Mrs. Kleckler's team were the winners!  As we closed out the assembly, we focused on our topic for quarter two, Being Responsible!  

The students at lunch were able to purchase items at the Eagle's Nest Store during all lunch hours!  The students have such a fun time picking out prizes for the Eagle Eye Tickets they have learned.  As a reminder, the store is open every other Friday during all lunch hours.  We are always looking for volunteers to come and help us out during the store.  If you would like to spend about an hour every other week helping out in our Eagle's Nest Store, it would be greatly appreciated.  Please contact the office if you are interested at 815-765-3113.
