For the 2^nd year in a row, Lovejoy Elementary participated in the Kare N for Cancer service project. This wonderful group provides Christmas trees with all of the trimmings for local cancer patients. They realize that when you are going through cancer treatments and your energy is needed to get well, you may not feel like putting up a tree and decorating for the season. That is where Lovejoy was able to help! The school collected trees, ornaments, tree skirts and money to give to these wonderful people who are going through the battle of fighting cancer. What a wonderful feeling to know that we have helped to brighten someone’s holiday! If you would like to know more about this organization, here is the link to their website http://kare-nforcancer.com/default.aspx. You’ll be glad you did!

Looking for a new way to create a presentation? Look no further than Glogster.edu! A glog is basically an interactive bulletin board on which students can create a presentation. They can add text boxes, images, clip art, maps and backgrounds to show what they have learned while doing research. Lovejoy fourth graders have recently completed a research unit on Texas Indians. After researching online and in books, they created glogs on specific tribes that lived in Texas. They did an amazing job researching, learning and then sharing the information with others.

The 2^nd graders at Hart Elementary have been busy travelers this week! They’ve “visited” France, Sweden, Mexico and Germany as part of a Christmas Around the World unit. Each “trip” involves learning about holiday traditions, foods, activities and customs unique to that country. Students kept up with their travels by creating and carrying a passport with them! They received a stamp from each country as they left and now have a full passport!
