Globetrotter Visit

Wow! Yesterday, Dizzy Grant from the world famous Harlem Globetrotters visited our school.  He said that the Globetrotters have not lost a game since 1971.  That is 40 years!  Dizzy came to visit to talk to us about being good kids.  He taught us the word "acronym."  The acronym he taught us was C.H.E.E.R.  This stands for Cooperation, Health, Effort, Enthusiasm and Responsibility.  Dizzy also showed us some of his cool tricks.  He spun the basketball on his head and his finger.  He did it so fast, we couldn't get a picture!  Dizzy also bounced the ball on the floor and then caught it on his back.  We had a great time learning with Dizzy.  If you want to learn more about Dizzy and the Harlem Globetrotters, check out their website at http://www.harlemglobetrotters.com/

Have P.R.I.D.E. in Yourself

Today, the Indianapolis Colts mascot, Blue, came to visit our school.   Blue talked to us about taking P.R.I.D.E. in ourselves.  "P" was for "Play 60."  Blue says we should get 60 minutes of exercise every day.  The "R" was for respect. Blue said we should show respect to our friends. The "I" was for "intelligent decisions."  Blue said we should make three intelligent decisions every day.  The "D" was for diet because we need to eat a balanced diet.  The "E" was for education and he told us to think about our future.  He also told us to thank our teachers. 

Blue was a crazy guy.  He shot confetti out his nose, he danced with the teachers and he sat on a teacher's lap.  We learned that Blue loves carrots, he knows magic and he LOVES football.  We are so lucky and happy Blue came to visit our school.

Colts Fun Day

Today was our Colts Fun Day.  We started out in the gym cheering on our favorite team.  Mrs. S. and Mrs. M. showed us their baton tricks.  Next, we moved outside to participate in different games.  They were "super fun" and made us exercise.  Even Mrs. Trees participated.  Unfortunately, it began to rain and we had to move inside.  In the gym we danced and sang about our Colts.  Our Colts Fun Day was fantastic and awesome.  GO COLTS!
