Monday and Sumdog.com

Good afternoon! Man, what a Monday we've had!  Our class got to attend the Boosterthon pep rally where all of the kids got to learn about this year's theme and meet all of the Boosterthon team! This year's theme is "Highway USA" and is all about 5 important choices to make: choosing leadership, choosing character, choosing to learn, learning about fitness choices, and choosing to have a good attitude! They are super excited!

While we were in computer lab today, we also got to visit a new site: www.sumdog.com . Each student received a username and password to access this site that is full of fun math games! Depending on who is online, the kids can actually play against their classmates! As of right now, Roberts is competing against other schools in Pulaski County to see who can answer the most math qustions.  This competition, however, ends Thursday.  Luckily, though, the students will still have access to this site, both at home and at school, all year round! The students LOVED this website and I highly recommend having your child work on this website at home! Hopefully there will be more competitions throughout the year.

Our star student for this week is Hayden.  Like many of the other boys in our class, Hayden loves sports! He brought a book about camping to share with the class, as well as a necklace made of shells from when he used to live in Florida!
