Dr. Seuss
During the first week of March, Mrs. Coats class celebrated the author, Dr. Seuss. All week long we read books by this author, and on his actual birthday we made “at” hats. The students learned the sound of “at” and that by changing the beginning letter we were able to form new words.

Texas Tech Football Player, Taylor Potts
At Levelland ABC!!!
On Friday, February 26, 2010 Taylor Potts stopped by Levelland ABC’s Green team classes to finish off the study of “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!” He read the story to the students in Mrs. Coats, Ms. Graves, Mrs. Roberson, and Ms. Tucker’s class. The students were encouraged to “help” him read the story by calling out the letters in the alphabet. After the story was read, Taylor took pictures with the students of each classroom.

V for Volcano!!!
In learning the letter V, Ms. Tucker’s class constructed their very own volcano. At the beginning of the week we mixed together flour, salt, oil and water to make a clay like form for the structure of the volcano. We waited two days before we painted it brown. The class decided to wait until our Valentines party to watch it erupt. As you can see in these pictures the students were so excited to watch a volcano erupt.

Mrs. Isaacks recently hosted the Reading Olympics at South Exemplary School. Students had to keep an “A” average in Accelerated Reader for the two weeks of the olympics, while also earning as many points as possible. The Gold Medal Readers were Lauren, Ivan, Jordan C., Zack, Averi and Jaxon. The Silver Medal Readers were Alicia, Isaac, Kamryn, Donavan, Jasmine and Aaron. And the Bronze Medal Readers were Sofia, Jordan L., Joseph, Mia, Michael and Cameron (absent). The students worked hard to earn points while keeping the high average and were very excited to find out they had won the medals. Lauren said it was “easy for her because no one could catch her.” Sofia said that it “was hard to keep and A average and that she stressed out about it.” Isaac was the opposite and stated, “it was easy to keep an A.” Donovan said, “it was hard to keep up with how many points he was actually earning each day.”

The Purple Team at Levelland ABC (Dobson, Gore, McFerrin, Smith) is participating in many learning activities that go along with the Dr. Seuss thematic unit. One of the learning activities that the children loved was cooking green eggs and ham. The children had the opportunity to read a recipe, participate in cooking, and enjoy what they made. After they tasted it, they each decided if they liked eating green eggs and ham, or if they didn’t. When they decided, each class made a graph to post the results. After reading all the graph results, we decided the Purple Team LOVES green eggs and ham!

The students at LMS have very kind hearts and like to show it. The members of the National Junior Honor Society serve anyone around Levelland that needs help for no money. Babysitting, mowing lawns, and running consession stands are only a few of the projects they can do for points. Every student is required to get 10 points each six weeks. On Tuesdays, the NJHS meets and talks about deeds they can do to help others. By the end of the year, all the students involved should feel good about what they accomplished.

On Sunday February 28th, Mrs. Payne’s Treble Choir sang the National Anthem at the Lady Raiders basketball game. The Treble Choir auditioned earlier in September for a chance to sing. This was a very exciting time for the young students. Great job LMS Treble Choir!!!

Recently, I had the distinct pleasure of serving as a judge for the culinary competition that was held at the middle school. Sodexho sponsored an event where students could submit recipes for healthy snacks and 6 were chosen to compete in a throw down of epic proportions. The six finalists were paired up with some professional help, and they were challenged to create 75 portions of their tasty treat in 2 hours. The girls worked very hard, but had a ton of fun while chopping, mincing, mixing, cooking, and putting it all together at the end. The staff of the Middle School Cafeteria was amazing, and gracious to let the competition take over their kitchen for a few hours.
I took pictures, and some videos of the event and wanted to share them with everyone so you can see how great the event really was. I look forward to more delicious treats in the future, and wouldn’t be surprised to see one or two of these girls on Food Network one day.
