It seems like Reading is Fun month just begun,
But Week 1 is already done.
This FES reading teacher is here to boast,
Mr. Meier's 4th grade class read the most.
The Traveling Trophy found its first place,
Who will win the Week 2 race?

FES students played Snowball Dodgeball as part of their Cougar Way Reward today. Each class sent its winner to the Championship Game. The Snowball Dodgeball Champion was Troy Kleiss. The staff also competed, and the winner was Mr. Schmitz. The winner of each class got a Hostess Snowball.

FES students earned a Cougar Way Reward today. The message on the board said, "Snowball Game." Classes did a Snowball Toss. Emme Westin was the only student to get her snowball into the 10-point bucket. Mr. Meier's 4th grade class won the game, so they will get an extra recess with Mrs. Hammond.

FES kicked off "The Reading Olympics: Go For Gold" at the Cougar Way Assembly on Friday. Each class had a Torch Bearer, and we watched live video of the Torch Relay starting in the preschool room and making stops in each classroom on the way to the music room where everyone was gathered to watch the lighting of the Olympic cauldron. There were glow sticks inside our USA cauldron and our Torch Bearers passed red, white, and blue glow sticks out to each student. FES families, please check backpacks for a note about our Reading Olympics and the Week 1 reading slip. FES students, it's February 1st, let the reading begin! #GoForGold

FES had its January Cougar Way Assembly on Friday. Mason Pitz and Rigby Schmidt mastered their basic division facts this month, so they were quizzed by the Math Wizard to see if they were worthy of the Math Wizard brag tag. Many other students were recognized for mastering addition and subtraction facts this month. Mrs. Sadler is working on goal-setting with our students, and she reported that getting better at math facts was a top goal set by our students. We are so pleased to see students who are motivated to get better at math! The Lucky American winner was Westin Steege.

FES earned a Cougar Way Reward today. The Cougar Code said, "Cocoa and Carols." Students got hot cocoa, marshmallows, and a candy cane. They gathered in the hallway and listened to Christmas Carols while they drank their hot cocoa. As Isaiah Dix said, "That was yummy in my tummy!"

Oh, what fun FES had during our 5 Days of Christmas! Classes played Musical Candy Canes and sent their top two winners to the Championship Round. Avery Bane was the Candy Cane Champion! We had holiday dress-up days, made a Christmas craft, and went to the movie theater. Mariah Lantow was the Lucky American winner at the Cougar Way Assembly.

FES presented the skit "Shirley, the Short-Legged Reindeer" at the Cougar Way Assembly yesterday. The reindeer team made fun of Shirley because she had short legs and said she couldn't help pull Santa's sleigh. Santa was worried about the windy, icy weather on Christmas Eve, so Mrs. Claus called in the North Pole Dance Team to cheer him up. Their song was "ICE, ICE Baby" and just made him think of the icy weather. The reindeer team couldn't get the sleigh going on the ice, and then Santa saw Shirley speed-skating on the pond. He noticed her strong calf muscles and asked her to lead the sleigh. She said her legs might be short, but they are strong, and she pulled the sleigh. The skit ended with Santa singing "Shirley, the Short-Legged Reindeer." You can watch our skit at the following link:
