This past Friday we held our annual TCAP pep rally! Ms. Harris really outdid herself in preparing songs for each grade level. Since I was the MC, I was unable to get video. Mrs. Vinnie took videos with her ipad and as soon as I figure out how to get them on here, I will!
Here is one thing from the pep rally I can share- a music video! Ms. Harris and our 5th grade choir wrote, directed, featured in, and produced an awesome video for our students. I've never seen our students as a whole pay so much attention as they did for this video.
* This video was made with one of the ipads we got with our technology grant!*

Everyone had a great time playing! We had a 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade teacher up against a 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade student. They were technically on teams- the teacher couldn't challenge the student from the same grade. We took turns- a teacher would challenge a student, then the student would challenge a teacher. If the challenged person didn't get the answer right, the challenging team got the point!
Here, Mrs. Wann (3rd grade) was challenged to a 5th grade social studies question. It wouldn't have taken her so long to answer, but she was freaked out by having to erase the board by hand. :)
This is the 3rd grade student challenged to the 3rd grade science question. She then challenged the5th grade teacher to the 5th grade grammar question.
The battle between Mrs. Anderson and the 3rd grade student lasted 3 rounds. I can't wait until the student is in Mrs. Anderson's class in 2 years!
You get the idea!
The ending scores were-
3rd grade- 6 right answers!
(each student in 3rd grade gets a piece of candy!)
4th grade- 7 right answers!
(each student in 4th grade gets a popsicle!)
5th grade- 9 right answers!
(each student in 5th grade gets an ice cream sandwich!)
