Regional Thursday

Good Luck to both baseball and softball in the Regional Tournaments starting today.  The boys play at Arnett.  The girls play here.  Miss LHS is Sunday.  Good luck to all girls participating in that.  The Pre-K have a field trip today to the Washita Wildlife Refuge.  Looks like the weather should be pleasant for that.  Today the 8th graders are testing with Mr. McClendon, so I did not have them this morning.  The 7th grade took a pop quiz over The House of Dies Drear chapters 1-10.  They also have a Dies Drear worksheet that is due tomorrow.  Spelling and Vocab Less. #30 are due tomorrow as well.  By Monday they have to have read through chapter 15 in Dies Drear. 

Enjoy the day---You never know what the future holds.



Wednesday--Give Blood, Give the Gift of Life!!

Today is the JCC blood drive from 1-6 in the community building (I think.)  I need to try and work that into my day.  I'm O positive, so I really need to give as often as I can.  That's the universal donor blood type.  The hospitals like to give O positive to babies, or so I've been told. 
Nice weather--we soooo need the rain!!  It wasn't bad running in it this am.  I only had to run 2 miles.  Just cold from being wet afterwards. 
The 8th graders had their party celebrating all tests over with.  The 7th grade finished the movie we've been watching.  Tomorrow both groups will either have a pop quiz over their classroom novels or they will do some worksheets over those books.  Have a fabulous day and let the rain wash away all of your blues.  :-)

Back to School--Typical Tuesday

Not much to report today.  Hs baseball game here today with Elk City and hs softball here vs. Woodward.  Both classes watched the movie, "Believe in Me."  8th graders party is tomorrow.  JCC Blood Drive is tomorrow from 1:00-6:00.  Both classes need to be prepared for a pop quiz over their class set novels that we are reading.  7th graders are also doing Spelling and Vocab this week Less.#30.  Have a great day!!! 

Thank Goodness Thursday

First let me begin by wishing everyone a safe and Happy Easter!!  Enjoy your four day weekend!  I hope more "springy" type weather will appear, or Grace E. Lou and I will freeze in our Easter dresses on Sunday.  Not much to announce other than be sure to check out the marquee downtown.  It says something about Mrs. S. Kauk beating Evin in freethrows??  Hmmm.  Interesting.  The 7th grade had their party this morning and the 8th grade continued watching the movie.  Well, that's all I know.  Gotta get to hopping along.....  ;-)  C ya next week!!!



Wintry Wednesday??

Brrr!!  A little chilly this morning--but the warm weather is supposed to be coming.  Met with both 7th and 8th grade today.  In the 7th grade English class we planned our party for tomorrow.  Check with your child to see what they signed up to bring.  Then we read  The House of Dies Drear.  They must have read through chapter ten by Tuesday when we come back from Easter Break.  In the 8th grade Language Arts class we started watching the movie Believe in Me.  It's awesome!!  It's based on the life of legendary Oklahoma girls' basketball coach Jim Keith.  I've read the book, Brief Garland--Basketballs, Ponytails, and Nothing but Net, but I had not seen the movie.  I donated a signed copy of the book to the Leedey library some years ago, for those interested in checking it out.  A great read for jh girls especially.   Mrs. Goldston had the movie and had started watching it with the 8th graders.  So I said of course we could continue it!!  Coach Keith is still alive and he is a great man, as well as a great coach.  It is humbling to watch the movie and see just how much the sport of girls' basketball (and girls' athletics in general) has evolved since 1964.  Coach Keith, along with Bertha Frank Teague, was truly a pioneer in the sport and paved the way for me, (and so many others like me,) not only as a player, but also as a female coach.  My hat off to you Coach Keith with much respect.  You deserve it!!!
Have a FABULOUS day!!!  And find someone you know that has a made a difference in your life and tell them "thanks" today.  Their reaction will warm your heart.  :-)

Testing Tuesday!!

More tests!!!  But we are about at the half-way point.  And at least today we all have Internet!!  I couldn't blog yesterday because my Internet was down.  Glad that it's fixed now. The 7th graders took their Reading test today.  Yesterday I had them for four hours and we reviewed and took practice tests.  Boy, were they sick of me!!!  I hope they did well today, especially the ones that have worked hard and taken the whole testing concept to heart.  The weather was GORGEOUS yesterday at the District softball and baseball games here at Leedey.  Congrats to both girls and boys for being District Champs.  Today I was covering other classes, so I did not meet with the 7th or 8th grade.  Now that testing is over, we will have a small party, and then cover something fun and exciting in both classes!!  Have a fabulous rest of the day!!

8th Graders Rock the Test!!

Most of the 8th graders took the online Reading OCCT test today and did great!!  I'm so proud of them!!  I think a couple of the kids will probably score advanced.  That is exciting.  I believe, just based on raw scores, that most of the others will score satisfactory, which means they pass.  All of our hard work paid off!!  Did not meet with 7th grade until Enhancement.  We took a practice test.  They did okay on it.  They're test is next Tuesday. I hope they can do as well as the 8th grade did.  :)
 Everyone enjoy your weekend.  The weather is supposed to be beautiful!!  Be FABULOUS!!
