Hello to our friends in Canada!!

We received your letter and are very excited to be in touch with you.  We decided it would be fun to do this blog so that all of you could add your responses as you have time and we will do the same.  We will put up a picture of our school building here in the next week or so.  We would love to see pictures of your school and town if possible as well.

  1. My name is McKenzie,

    I’m going to tell you about my 1st through 5th period classes. My mentor isn’t a period class so in the morning I come in and go straight to my mentor class. What we do in our mentor class is we watch Channel 1 News that class is only for about 20 to 25 minutes long. For my 1st period class I go to Language Arts. What we do in that class is we do a lot of writing skills and reading out loud in front of the class. My 1st through 5th period classes are usually only about 45 minutes long. My second period class is Math. In that class we do a lot of things out of the book and we do a lot of math worksheets on fractions, mixed numbers. and decimals. My third period class in Social Studies. In that class we are learning a lot about the explorers and we learn a lot about Canada. Fourth period class is Science. We learn a lot about biomes and habitats and a lot about endangered animals.And we have a distance learning lesson sometimes. What a distance learning lesson is is we use a webcam to talk with this guy named Dave and he does a lot of science experiments with us.Sometimes he comes to our classroom and does the experiment with us in person sometimes My 5th period class is Content Reading. In this class we do a lot of poetry and we do a lot of drawing cartoons and things. In Content Reading we usually do a lot of sharing of what we do in that class.

  2. My name is Sam. In our school there are a ton of extra things you could do. There are sports, a show choir, band, and orchestra. Also there is a student council that you can potentially get on. There are buses that pick people after school. Some of the sports are football, track, basketball, and soccer. Although sixth-graders can’t play sports, there is a band that any student can join. These are some of the things we can do at Beatrice Middle School.

  9. Hey I’m Jordan Brod and I’m going to tell you about my 6th-8th period classes at Beatrice Middle School. Some of the classes we can take are: Art, P.E., Industrial Tech, Computers, Family Consumer Science, and Music. The only class I haven’t had yet would be Family Consumer Science. In Family Consumer Science, we learn about how to babysit the right way, sew, and how to cook. In Industrial Tech, we make things out of wood like a Golf Tee Game, Picture Frames, Solar Powered Cars, A block of wood with our name engraved in it, and C02 Cars.
    In Art, we make a lot of different projects like: tiles with designs on it, bookmarks, flowers in 3D, and much more. In Computer class, we learn how to type correctly. In P.E., we run, do push-ups, sit-ups, and play games like dodge ball. We also have this thing called Presidential and National Fitness award. To make Presidential or National Fitness award, we have to test activities like: sit-ups, push-ups, shuttle run, and sit-and-reach, then we have to get a certain amount of those things. Those are the things that we do through 6th-8th period.

  10. Hi my name is Zach White. In 6th grade there is no school sports. In 7th and 8th grade there is football, soccer, wrestling and basketball, and trap. Outside of school I play baseball for Lincoln Dodgers. There is 3 stages of Dodgers for my age group. There is the Black and thats for inexperienced people. Then there is the White and thats for people who need more experience. Then theres the team im on which is the Blue and thats for the really experienced people. My team has one tournament this year and our coach broke the trophy on accident. I am the best hitter on my team. Two years ago I got a championship ring at nationals for getting first. My team is one of the best teams for 12 and under in Nebraska. I also play football. I play for Beatrice Bombers and I had the most tackles in my division. My team wasn't very good last year but i was. I broke a kids ankle and I gave two people concussions in practice. In my games there were three people that actually made tackles and those people were Landon Carstens, Bladen Bayless, and I. In my free time my brother and I wrestle and i always beat him :). I love to be outdoors and go hunting and fishing. I haven't shot anything yet but i don't care I still love to go hunting. I like to fish because i like getting dirty and then when I catch something i clean or flay it if its big enough. I like to go visit the cemetery and visit my grandpa and my cousin Cayden who died in December on the 23rd:(. He died from a brain tumor but lets not go there.

  18. Hello my name is Dylan Buss and I’m going to tell you about my mentor through 5th period. In mentor if I don't have my homework done which I usually do I do that but most of the time I talk to my friends. One of my friends is a girl and on wednesday and sometimes on friday we get to play games and me and my friend play a game were one person stands across the room and the other one has a little toppy eraser and you try to hit that person with it. Me and my friends like to compete on what pages we are on because we like to read Harry Potter books. When mentor is over I go to first period which is Language Arts. Our teacher Mr.Bell at the beginning of the year made us read a book called Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. I really liked the book and read the rest of the series and they were really good. Next period is Math which I’m not the best at. Our teacher Mrs.Laflin is very nice.
