Last, but definitely not least...
Our Marvelous Jacey!!


Jacey brought a bright pink poster to help us get to know her better.
She brought pictures of her sweet family, a few of her favorite things 
(like nail polish and belts!), and her favorite foods!
We enjoyed her fun poster!


Jacey's mom, Jenifer, is an elementary school teacher in Crowley, and her dad, Matt, is the Campus Technologist at the SCS Prep Campus.  They brought each student an iPad to use and play with!  They each read a book on the iPad then got to draw (also on the iPad) what they thought the next page in the story could be.  They were all VERY creative!  





It's amazing how this technology is like second nature to our students!  
They jumped right in with no reservations!


Thank you to the Winn Family for a fun afternoon!

We seem to be losing teeth in "twos"!!


Kyle and Marin show off their new smiles!!


Mitchell with his mom, Katie McBroom, and his sister, Maggie Kate, were recognized as Legacies at Chapel this week.  Mrs. McBroom is a graduate of Southwest Christian and is also now a teacher at the Prep Campus!







We really enjoyed our Author Visit today by 
Lucas Miller, the "Singing Zoologist"!
You can see him sing on YouTube.  
He was very entertaining!

Last Tuesday, the secret ballots were cast
and the winner was...

Duck for President!!!




We unbiasedly listened to three candidates (well, actually books), filled out our voter registration cards, considered the issues, entered the polling booths (see pictures), cast our votes, and tallied the results.  It was a tie after 12 votes were counted, but then the last and 13th vote decided our winner...
Duck for President!
Grace for President and My Teacher for President put up a good fight, but weren't able to "woo" the voters in the end!

Introducing our Marvelous Madyson!


Madyson brought a bright pink poster that showed all of her favorite things.  Madyson loves her family, softball, basketball, dancing, Disney, and all things Princess!  We loved getting to know Madyson better this week!


Mayson's mom and dad, LaFonda and Wes Somerville, both came to speak to us about their jobs at Alcon.  Mrs. Somerville is a microbiologist, and Mr. Somerville is a Chemist.  


The students had a great time "making" the flu virus in petri dishes.  They used jello, icing, sprinkles, and Nerds to simulate it!  

Don't worry parents...we didn't eat them!!



And did you see, they sent the girls home with "sore throats" 
and the boys with "colds"!
Oh No!!

 

A BIG THANK YOU to the Somerville Family for spending their time with us!
We learned a lot and had a great time!




Two more teeth went missing this week!


Karis and David





We had a lot of fun tasting apples and graphing our favorites.
Red Delicious was the most popular followed by Granny Smith!

Mrs. McCarthy came in and made homemade applesauce with all the different apples you all brought!

Thank you also to Mrs. Epps for peeling and dicing ALL those apples!




We ate it warm, and it smelled and tasted delicious...just ask Luka!!

MARVELOUS DAVID!! 




David brought in 2 posters to help us get to know him better!  He brought pictures of his family, his favorite animal, favorite color, and favorite foods!
David also told us something very unique about himself...he was born on the side of the Interstate in his car!!  What an adventure for his family!!


David's mom, Jennifer Smith, started her time with us teaching us that no matter what "colors" we receive in school, God will take them away from us and give us "blue" as long as we believe in HIM!  What a great message for the kids!  Mrs. Smith also talked to the children about her work to bring clean water to those in need in Africa.  I hope you received the literature about that.



David's dad, Mark Smith, brought a Harley Davidson motorcycle from their store here in Fort Worth.  We learned that Harley Davidsons have been around for 110 years!!  Each student had fun "revvvvvving" the motorcycle's engine!!



A BIG THANK YOU  to the Smith Family for sharing their time with us last week and letting us get to know their family a little better!!

Luke was a MARVELOUS "MARVELOUS ME" last week!


Luke told us all about his family, his Hawaiian vacation, and his baseball team!




 Luke's mom, Mrs. Skrabanek, is in pharmaceutical sales.
She came in and talked to us about the Food Pyramid and making healthy eating choices. She taught us that making smart food choices while we are young will help us stay healthy and keep us from having to take too much medicine when we get older!


Mrs. Skrabanek brought us all bananas as a HEALTHY snack!
David, Luke, Kyle, and Mitchell thought the bananas were YUMMY,
but Chandler wasn't so sure!!



A BIG thank you to Luke and his mom for a super fun week!!




We all really enjoyed the FUN Homecoming Pep Rally during Chapel last week!
