Hi! My name is Piper Moeller. I interviewed some kids and also some teachers from each grade. Let’s first see what kindergarten has to say. I asked them what they liked about school. I interviewed the Lucchetti twins and Gabby said that she likes coloring and loves to read. On the other hand, Lilliana likes playing games and reading. Then I interviewed Mrs. Wiedemann about why she likes to teach kindergarten. She said that she loves working with kids and even learns things from them.
Next up, I interviewed first grade. I asked them the same question: Why do you like school? I interviewed Charley. The first thing she said was: “EVERYTHING!” Then I asked her to be more specific. She said she likes P.E. and Art and loves to be with her friends and teachers. Then I interviewed Mrs. Tate. I asked her why she likes teaching, just like I asked the other teachers. She said she loves watching kids grow and seeing how they compare from the start of the year to the finish. And she loves to have fun and play games with them.
After first is second grade. In second grade, I interviewed Alexa asking the same exact question. She said she loves Art, P.E., and doing math equations. Then I interviewed Owen (a.k. a. my little brother). He loves learning and to see his teacher and play with friends. I then interviewed both second grade teachers, Mrs. Beauregard and Mrs. Sullivan. Mrs. Beauregard said she loves the energy and it makes her feel very young and she loves making kids happy. Then I interviewed Mrs. Sullivan. She said she’s loved being able to love a new class each year.
In third grade, I interviewed Nora and Easton. Nora said she loves school because it helps her learn and do new things. Easton said he loves to learn and see his friends. Then I interviewed Mr. Flanagan, a third grade teacher. Mr. Flanagan said he loves the relationships between students and when they “get something”, the excitement on their faces.
In fourth grade, I interviewed Grace and Sydney. Grace said she really likes learning new things and it makes her wonder and think. Then I interviewed Sydney. She said she likes learning a lot and we get to have fun with our friends and have fun activity days. I also interviewed Mrs. Zayac. She said she loves helping kids learn stuff they don’t know and the excitement when they get it, just like Mr. Flanagan!
Last but not least, I interviewed fifth grade! I interviewed Rae, Grace, and Caleb. Rae said she likes having nice teachers and good friends. Grace said she likes learning and being able to have fun with friends. Caleb said he likes “Kahoots!”, math, and playing with friends. I also interviewed Mr. Van Buskirk. He said he enjoys spending time with curious students and enjoys their enlightenments.
For my own experience, I like school because of math, teachers who are nice, and being able to get something afterwards. For example, there was a problem I was doing in math and Mr. VB said I was doing something wrong but had to figure it out, and then I figured it out and it felt really good. This is why teachers like teaching and kids like schooling.
Students and staff are very excited about our first Festive Friday at Eames Way School.
Earlier this week, I interviewed students in every grade about what they were planning to wear. Vera in kindergarten said that she is going to wear a Santa shirt and black pants. Next is first grade. Isabella in first grade is planning to wear a Christmas costume with jingle bells! In second grade, my brother Brayden is wearing a Santa hat and a sweatshirt with kitties and a jingle bell on it. In third grade, Lilliana will be wearing a Christmas dress and pajamas. In fourth grade, Evelyn and Anna are going to wear reindeer antlers and red and green shoes. Anna is going to wear Christmas pajamas. In fifth grade, Piper is going to wear Santa pajamas!
Teachers are getting festive on Fridays, too! Mrs. Milch said she’s going to wear a shiny sweatshirt. Ms. Bishop said she’s going to wear a red plaid dress and sparkly earrings! Many teachers are wearing festive sweaters and headbands. In the main office, Mrs. Quigley is wearing a necklace with lights!
This first Festive Friday was really fun and we know that future Festive Fridays will only get more and more festive!
