Slushy Berry

Drew, Abby, Cooper, and Blayne made a commerical for Slushy Berry.  This is a spin off of Juicy-O, a drink in the book Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing  by Judy Blume.  Forgive the fact that the webcam froze during the video...you miss out on the awesome pictures of the Slushy Berry drink.  But the kids came up with the "jingle" themselves.

Fire Safety Week

On Friday, October 8, members of the Soldier Fire Department visited our classroom and taught us about fire safety. Mr. Taff explained the importance of smoke alarms and what you should do should you have a fire. The Soldier Fire Department also provided each family in our school with a smoke alarm. Thank you so much for doing this for our JH families.





Your assignment is to write about your experience learning about safety. You can write about something you learned from the firemen, the ambulance attendent or the LifeStar paramedics.
