Longer Recess?

Hi guys!! I know that if you are in 4th or 5th grade that you tell you student council representitives, " RECESS IS TOOOO SHORT!" Well, sorry friends! We can't. 1 period is 50 minutes and the other classes need to go too!!!
SORRY,

Holidays!

There are so many different holidays that people celebrate! Please post a comment and say what holidays you celebrate and how you celebrate them. It would be great to know!

Free Rice!

There is another really super website called Freerice.com. It asks you vocabulary questions then gives you choices for what that word means. Every word you get right give 20 grains of rice to a hungry child through the United Nations Program. Also, if you click on "change subject" up in the top right corner, you can do math problems, Spanish words, and even identify paintings! It's really fun, and you can help a kid in need!

Flickr!

There is an awesome website called Flickr! On it, you can type in whatever you want and it will find pictures of those letters to spell the words! It's really cool. To get to it, go to ps116.org and go to Kathleen's Favorite Fun Websites. Then click on  "Spell with Flickr!" and type in something. If you don't want to do all that, here's the link:

Student Council

Most kids that are in 3rd grade, 2nd grade ,1st grade, and kindergarten don't know about student council. Student Council is really helpful to the school, and they work hard to try to fix genaral problems. So if you would like to have the student council discuss something, tell your teacher and they can contact us!!! Oh, and sorry younger grades, 4th and 5th graders are only allowed to do it. :(. But, at least you have something to look forward to!!!

Awesome.. Out of this world.. School Apparel

116 has an OUT OF THIS WORLD online shop. They even have a new section with books that your teacher reccomends on Amazon. On the Cafe Press part, they have 116 hoodies, stuffed animals, stickers, back backs, tote bags, and even shirts for DOGS!! :-) The coolest thing about these shops are that a lot of the proceeds from the things you buy go to 116!!! So encourage your parents to go holiday shopping at the 116 school shop all you 116-ers!!! Happy Shopping!!!
