It is the last day until spring break. Everyone is ready for spring break, but theres going to be a shorter time to work on bookfair. Were going to get it done but we all have to work faster. The bookfair is going to be based off of a greece and feeling groovy theme. There will be a photo booth, a dance floor, amd a juke box that you can pay 50 cents to hear your favorite song. The 50 cents will go to all for books.

There’s so much going on in the learning commons! We have a Groovy Selfie Station! You can stop by and have your picture taken with your friends.

The book fair is coming up fast! Remember that it is a Buy One Get One so that’s double the reason to come buy some books. If you donate 50 cents to all for books, we can play a record of your choice.

Book Fair by Gracie Creason

The book fair is coming up soon. We are working on doors in the learning commons that are based off of movies in the 70’s. Our book fair crew has made a totally tubular selfie station. Our spring book fair is going to be really cool. Our selfie station he all these cool little face props, and fake Avrie to pose  with. We have a record player so that anyone who has 50 cents in book fair money you can have a song played for you. We also have the jukebox Junk store. You read books with 100+ pages and you 4 music chips, if you read a book on overdrive you get 5 music chips, if you read a Truman or gateway nominee you get 6 music chips, and if you read a book that a nominee book on overdrive that's 100+ pages you get 12 music chips.



Our book fair crew will try our hardest for this book fair to be better than the last. We have a lot to strive for because we got first place last time, for our monsters including themed book fair. Our goal for all for books money is $450. We know we can beat it just like last time. And this time the book fair is buy one get one free, so we hope to have a lot of books a bought.

LMS by Ms. Travis

We got exciting news at ESMS for next year!  We will have teams!  I am excited as I remember back when we had teams before.  I remember the projects our team did together instead of separate projects.  I remember the comrade that not only the staff felt, but the students as well.  I remember how our team worked so well together.  I am so excited because I know the team concept works!  Also, our IC (Mr. Rubey) and Elkhorn's IC (Mr. Travis) went to the METC and came back with this really cool tool that I am hoping to make happen here next year.  The students who were trying it out today loved it!  Look for more information coming soon!

We have started something new concerning the iPads.  The PBS team of students came up with the idea of keeping track of accident free days and rewards for consecutive days without a broken iPads.  LOVE THE IDEA so Mrs. Kuebler and I have worked out a plan.  If the grade level goes for 10 days without a broken iPad, the grade will get a treat.  (If an iPad is broken, the days start back at 0.)  If the grade makes it to 20 days, a bigger prize will be awarded.  And finally, if the grade makes it to 30 days, an even bigger prize will be awarded.  If they have to start over, the prizes start over.  The students seem excited about it.  An ELT lesson focused on the new system to make students aware!  I am keeping my fingers crossed that this cuts down on the amount of broken iPads from our school!

The third quarter is officially over and we are started on the fourth quarter!  We have one more book fair for the year and it is a BOGO (buy one get one) fair!  It will run April 25-29 with the family event on April 26.  More information will be coming so check back later to get the details!  Our theme is Feelin' Groovy and we are trying to make our theme music with an emphasis on "Grease" the movie.  We have jukeboxes, lava lamps, disco balls and more.  I have a group of hardworking students!  This is a hard theme to work with but we are feeling good after our first place win in the fall.

I am getting excited about summer school as well.  I will be doing the Jumpstart/Transition class where we help incoming sixth graders adapt to ESMS.  I have helpers and we work hard to make the three days worthwhile.  I am also excited that one of the proposed classes for summer school is turning our makerspace into an innovations lab.  If the class makes, we will transforming our space and that always excites me!  THANKS to Kaitlin Hartman for that class proposal!

Popcorn Party by Cassidy Bradshaw

Today there was a popcorn party! If you went that means that during the whole month of February you had perfect attendance all around. You would have to be at school every second of the day and you couldn't even get a tardy. Thanks to BobKorn to make this all happen. They were kind enough to give us a popcorn donation. Good job to everyone who went to the party today and a big thanks to BobKorn!

New Incentive by Cassidy Bradshaw

So we are going to have a reward system for good use with iPads! Each grade will have their own little competition. If one grade lasts 10 days without breaking their iPad then the whole grade will earn a surprise and every 10 days a new prize will be awarded. But if only one person breaks it, the grade level will have to start over. We are all excited!

    Spring Book Fair by Gracie Creason

    We are so excited for our spring 2016 bookfair. We won last semesters winter 2015 bookfair, so we have to try even harder to get first place again. Our bookfair crew is great, always coming up with new ideas to try and make the book fair even better than the last. The theme for our spring book fair is feelin groovy peace, love, and books. We have everything so far 70’s themed.

    And our W.E.B. leaders help us too, to make the book fair even cooler. We are are going to make this bookfair great, with the help of all of our resources. All of our book fairs have been great better than the last one. And because this is our last year at the middle school we want to leave a lasting impression and win the book fair competition. The eighth graders last year and before them won, so now it's up to us to keep our streak going.
