My name is Carson and the fiction book that I read was Paul Bunyan-My Story by David Harrison.  I chose this book because Paul Bunyan is huge and it looked funny.  My favorite part was when he was a baby he was so huge that his baby buggy was a lumber wagon and he weighed 80 lbs. when he was born.  I also liked when they put green sunglasses on their cow so the cow would think the snow was green grass and would keep eating the snow and they could keep milking all winter.  There are so many funny parts in this book!   (1)

Hi Parents,

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the November Scavenger Hunt! 

I really didn’t know where to start when it comes to silly!  My family and I get pretty silly quite often- as I’m sure many of you can imagine!! 

My family started a tradition a few years back…It happens each year on a certain day in June…

We celebrate the end of the school year with our annual…

PIE FIGHT!! 

What a mess!!

We all look forward to this event.  Sometimes we’ll fight with cans of colorful Silly String instead.  I think YOUR FAMILY should start this silly tradition too!

Save the Date!
Just a quick note to SAVE THE DATE for our 2009 Georgetown Holiday program!

Although it seems like a long ways away, it will be here before you know it.  So mark it on your calendar!
December 10, 2009 at 7:00 pm, Resurrection Life Church*
More details will be coming from Mrs. Bretz soon.
*This is the facility that we rent for our school wide performance.

You have another opportunity to RSVP for our upcoming December 1st Kids Art Fair!  An RSVP form and Art Fair information will be sent home with students this week.

Please note that returning your RSVP to Mrs. Brouwer does NOT mean that you must purchase your child’s framed artwork.  The RSVP just lets the Kids Art Fair people know how many frames to ship to Georgetown for the event.  So please RSVP if you plan to attend and celebrate your child’s creativity, enjoy a fun make-n-take art project, and register for some cool door prizes to be given away during the evening. 

Also – Georgetown’s December Kids Art Fair does not take the place of the annual district-wide Student Art Show, which will be held as usual in April 2010.

We hope to see you at Georgetown’s Art Fair on December 1st between 4-7 PM!  Volunteers are still needed to help out – please contact Mrs. Brouwer!

My name is Carson B. and the book I read was Little Witch Learns to Read by Deborah Hautzig and it was a fiction book.  I chose it because I like Little Witch and the Little Witch books because they are funny.  My favorite part was when her mom wants her to do opposites like mean stuff and not to make friends and also to eat candy so her teeth would rot.  This is just one of many funny parts.  All the Little Witch books are funny.  Mother Witch always tells Little Witch to do bad things and eat gross things and not to make friends.  But Little Witch does make friends and is nice.

My name is Eva Johnson and I am in Mrs. Huizenga’s 2nd grade class.  The book that I read was Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Last Straw by Jeff Kinney.  It is a fiction book.  I picked this book because I heard lots of other kids talk about it and the pictures inside looked cool.  I thought it might be a funny book.  My favorite part was when Fregley was on the sidewalk and said “Does this scab smell funny to you?”  Fregley is really weird and funny.  Another favorite part was when he spent a lot of money for games and x-ray goggles and they didn’t work.  He was ripped off.  This book also had a lesson in it about treating others the way you want to be treated and it was hard for Rodrick to learn.  (4)

Scavenger Hunt Pressure

Hi Parents,

Here is the news for the week of Oct. 18-22.  Remember, we have a field trip this Thursday, and No School this Friday.

I forgot to tell you on the newsletter that we had guests this past week.  Mr. Henderson’s 6th grade writing students read their stories to our class.  It was a lot of fun!! 

Have a great week!!

Hi Everyone,

I’m Mrs. Huizenga.

Here is my link for the Oct. SCAVENGER HUNT.

I’m a busy Mom and I don’t have a lot of time for hobbies or other activities!  One thing my family likes to do when none of us are busy is…  go for a hike!  We have hiked in many beautiful places including Tennessee, Maine, Hawaii, and West Virginia.

Sometimes we just enjoy taking a hike closer to home. In this picture, my husband took a picture of me and our three kids.  It was a very cool, spring day.

Hobby, Mrs. Huizenga, Scavenger Hunt

Have fun hunting!!

Mrs. H.
