new school year...

school starts tomorrow and i met most of my new students yesterday at open house. some of them i knew, and am excited to teach. others are new to estem, and i'm hoping they settle in quickly. almost all of my former students came by and asked why i never had a reading loft in my room. i guess i'm just not as cool as mrs. langrell...lol...but i did get a much bigger room, which will make all the difference in the world!

scholastic skulls...because we like to read!

this is the team flag designed by my class for field day.  they came up with the name, the design, and everything.  i used the hot glue gun...

miss ellis + pokemon = superpowers

another funny one, but not from my kids...

Dear Mrs. Jones,

I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer. I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit. I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people were fighting over who would get it. Her picture doesn't show me dancing around a pole. It's supposed to depict me selling the last snow shovel we had at Home Depot. From now on I will remember to check her homework more thoroughly before she turns it in.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Smith

spring poetry by 4th graders...

excitement springing
by markieveus

flowers growing

ants towing

wind blowing

dad mowing

mom sowing

fireflies glowing

turtles slowing

spring EXPLODING!

Spring

By Itzel

When it is spring

You feel like a queen and king

You run about

And shout

When flowers bloom

They open up and BOOM!

They let out their smell

Of wonderful dwell

When you go to the river

You get a shiver

When you jump in

You feel a tickle

Like when you eat a sour pickle

Spring Flowers

By Darius P.

Flowers bloom in spring

The colors are beautiful and they are everything

We look in the light the flowers are bright

And you see when they change it just like a dream.

When the flowers grow they’re like your world of Brightness.

The sun is precious it is the reason

that the beautiful flowers are so bright.

When you smell the blossom it

Feels like you are sleeping on

A cloud.

the funeral of some frogs

miss ellis: oh no, it looks like all our pet frogs have died!

(27 fourth graders and their teacher make their way to the bathroom)

darius: oh dear lord, we loved these frogs. they were our brothers...and maybe sisters. please bless their souls as they make their way into their toilety graves. and let the millipedes live. thank you. we love you. amen. gentlemen, you may sing the furneral song.

the best day since christmas break 3/6/07

written after a two month streak of nothing but horrible days at watson elementary...

everything went well today. no major fights, no roasting, no ioc, not even a fire drill.

here is a sampling of the funniness of my day:

marquis: ummm...are there bathrooms in a space suit?

demarcus: miss ellis, i imagined you in a wedding dress. it was like the itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini except it was white and red and a dress, not a bikini.

jose: i like my women funny...and from texas...

markieveus: miss ellis, you gotta sign the happy gram...you know how our parents are...they don't ever believe we're good...just a sticker won't cut it, miss ellis.

joshua: i hear voices in my head. they tell me to do bad things, but i don't listen most of the time.

all in all a good day...

dear miss ellis...

i just want to thank you for everything you ever taught me. you are like my best friend because you love to teach me. you are the sharpest teacher i ever had in my whole life.

love your student,

darius perry
