Southeast Thanksgiving Feast

Friday, November 16th was the Thanksgiving feast at Southeast School. For the main course we had turkey. We also were served some yummy gingerbread with whipped cream or gingerbread with no whipped cream. We also had mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, corn, and cranberry sauce. The whole school was there and the second graders sang us some songs. We all had a great time!

Worry Dolls

Worry Dolls are small yarn figures that make your worries go away. You tell your worry doll your worry and put it under your pillow at night while you sleep, and the next day your worries will be gone. Worry dolls are from Guatemala, a Spanish country. In Spanish class, we are making are own worry dolls out of clothespins, pipe cleaners, string, and markers. We have really liked learning about worry dolls!

Fire Safety Day

In October the firemen came to Southeast School. They told us some facts about fires. For example, a hose weighs between 30 and 70 lbs and about 140 lbs with water. Also they showed us around the fire truck.  Our teacher, Mrs. Cackowski, even put on all the equipment that a firewoman would wear. She sounded like Darth Vader when she was breathing through the mask!  She looked cool!  It was a great day.

Running Club

Running Club meets every Friday in the gym at 3:30.We run out on the trails in Mansfield Hollow. But first we get signed in. On rainy days we run in the gym with music or we run in the hallways. If we run and get 20 holes punched in our cards we get a toe token. A toe token is a little colored foot you can put on a chain and you can wear it on your wrist.   We get one snack every time. It is usually something healthy like apples or oranges. On the last time Running Club meets, we will get glow in the dark toe tokens. This club is for 3^rd and 4^th graders only.

The Southeast School Mascot

 Did you know our school mascots are eagles? Their names are Ethan and Emily. Ethan has a blue cape and Emily has a pink cape. Ethan and Emily live in the Enrichment Room if you'd like to see them.

Did you know that eagles have been the national symbol of the United States since 1782? Bald eagles were on the brink of extinction and they are still endangered. Another fun fact about eagles is that female bald eagles are a bit bigger than males.

Ms. Cackowski's Jungle

Our teacher Ms. Cackowski has 70 plants in her classroom! The classroom has so many plants that it’s like a jungle!!! My favorite plant is the aloe plant. The aloe plant helps to soothe sunburns. Right now in our classroom we are studying the plants. Also, we are planting spinach in the green house by the playground to eat--how cool is that!?

In our classroom we have a rubber tree plant. This plant is my favorite because it’s the tallest plant in my classroom. It is 81 cm tall and the leaves are 26 cm which is longer than my foot! It is called the rubber tree plant because the stem feels like rubber.
