On Thursday, January 29, 2015, Hammon Public Schools celebrated its 100th day of school. Bridge to K,

Kindergarten, First grade, and Second grade celebrated by making 100th day hats, wearing our “I Am 100

Days Brighter” shirts, and doing many different activities that involve the number 100. Some of our

100th day activities included seeing how many jumping jacks, sit ups, name writing, and counting we

could do in 100 seconds. We also talked

about our favorite memories of the first

100 days, and what we hoped to do or

learn in the next 100 days.

We came back from Christmas

break ready to learn and are in

the full swing of things. In math

we are learning about line

segments, 3-dimensional shapes,

continue to practice math facts at

We had two birthdays in

January; Guillermo Villegas and

Justice Espinosa. We hope they

both had very special days!

We also celebrated the 100th

day of school this month. We

painted t-shirts, made crowns,

and our classroom was

decorated.

Valentine’s Day will be here

before we know it and a list of

students in our class will be

out Valentines. Everybody

bundle up and stay warm!!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Third Grade News

I hope everyone had a great Christmas Break and a Happy New Year. In January, the third grade class

has been working hard on our multiplication facts. Please keep

reviewing these facts throughout the year. Also, we have been

memorizing our speeches for the speech contest. I am very proud of

how hard they have been working!! Congratulations to Jalie Atkins,

Linsey Bullcoming, Lexee Benkley, Jakira Downs, Grace Krapcha, and

Taytum McIntosh for being chosen for the contest. In February, we

will have Parent-Teacher Conferences. I am looking forward to

visiting with you about your child’s

progress.

4th Grade

This month has been pretty

exciting in our classroom. We had

some fun announcements, we

worked hard on our speeches and

had tryouts, we have had several

birthday parties, and we presented

our inventions! Congratulations to

the winners of the speech tryouts

and good luck in February at the

contest!

In our reading unit we had a story

about inventors and some of the

very important inventions that have

shaped history, so the students

were assigned to come up with

their own their own inventions to

present to the class that filled a

need of theirs. They all did very

good and some might even need a

patent! I hope next month is just

as exciting!

5th Grade News Hello 2015! We have been getting back into the groove of things after our wonderful Christmas break. It takes a little bit of time to get back into the full swing of things. We have such a short year and so much to get accomplished that we just have to push on through, even though we miss our days of sleeping in. We have a writing test coming up at the end of February. We have been working on writing A LOT! We are getting better with every paper we write. We are expecting that our hard work will pay off. In science we have been studying the solar system. We each had a planet to research.

We did a report and a planet illustration to share with our classmates. We enjoyed a nice day outside doing a planet scavenger hunt. We found out some pretty cool things about our solar system. We had speech tryouts this past month. We worked feverishly to memorize and present to the judges. . There were six students chosen for the contest February 3rd. The students that represented Hammon this year at the Five County Speech Contest were Jaxon, Jolie, L.J., Alex, Kaylee, and Jessiah. We have enjoyed playing ballgames, and get thoroughly discouraged when we have to cancel. We have had to learn that things don’t always go the way we

want it to. We have worked hard to become better, and we would like to show off our skills. We look forward to the rest of our season. We are ready to see what 2015 holds for us. We have made our resolutions and are working to achieve them. If we can make it through February we will be on the downhill slide. We will have one test under our belts by then and will just have to worry about our other four tests.

6th grade So far, in the 6th grade we’ve had

some pretty cool science

experiments. There was a lava lamp

made in a water bottle and soon we

will experiment with a floating disc.

We have witnessed some very

interesting science experiments and

we all get to make our own soon.

Maybe we can invent something

new, but we will have to wait and

see what happens in the year.

This season of basketball for 5th and

6th grade girls has been fun! On

January 20th we played Seiling and

beat them 22-17.

It has been a month and five

days since we played our last

game on December 15th. In

practice we have been doing a lot

of conditioning drills like running

and jumping stairs, jumping rope,

and with all of our zig-zag warm

ups, plus all the straight line we

do, we do a total of 41 down and

backs. It has paid off a lot though.

In boys’ basketball, we lost to

Seiling with a score of 27-40. We

still had fun playing against them.

Then we played against

Sweetwater and we won, the

score was 40-24.

The speech contest is on

Tuesday, February 3 in Cheyenne

Oklahoma. These students will be

representing Hammon 6th grade:

Blanca Villegas, Adyson Wilson,

Jovani Rivera, J.D. Price, Oscar

Isabell, and Teagon Moler.
