Mable Panthers vs. Edgewood Eagles, JH Girls Volleyball
October 25, 2010

Final Score:  Mable defeats Edgewood: 24-26, 25-20, 15-13

Mable’s Junior High Volleyball Team pulled off a great victory against Edgewood! This win was needed to solidify a playoff position, making the victory even sweeter. 

The match opened up with a very tight game one, and the Panthers actually lost 24-26. We were determined to rally back and took game two 25-20. The deciding game always moves quickly. The Panthers built a little cushion, going up 10-6; but the Edgewood Eagles fought back and tied it 12-12. With some great serves from Lauren H., we closed game three with a 15-13 win, the final point coming from one of Brianna P.’s well placed hits.

On Wednesday, October 27th, the Lady Panthers will work hard in a double header at Pegasus School. Due to weather conditions earlier, some games had to be moved around. We will first face Pegasus, and then immediately play against Heritage Christian at Pegasus. These back to back games are necessary in order to determine the playoff order.Wish us luck! The better we do on Wednesday, the better playoff standing we have!

SNACK TIME eating the alphabet

On October 7th, the preK – K children at Citron enjoyed an interactive presentation on nutrition. Using the book Eating The Alphabet by Lois Ehlert as a visual guide, the children participated with great enthusiasm in guessing the name of a fruit or a vegetable that began with the letter A, B, C, etc.

Can you guess? A = (apples, apricot, artichoke, avocado)

B was for banana, blueberries and yes, even broccoli. The children said that they LIKE broccoli. Hmmm I wonder if their parents would agree. That would be great!

C was for carrots, cherries, and corn.

D was for Dates (that was a hard one).

Can you guess what vegetable begins with the letter “E”? Hint: it’s a type of lettuce.

The older children made it all the way to “F”. The presentation concluded with the song, “Five a Day” emphasizing eating five servings of fruits and vegetables every day. There was lots of singing and even dancing to the music. We all had fun, and I look forward to presenting again in November at Fairmont!

Enjoy eating your alphabet!

BOOK REPORT edgewood fifth graders report on newbery winner

This month’s book review for the Edgewood campus comes compliments of Mrs. White’s 5^th grade class:

The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963 is a Newbery award winning book written by Christopher Paul Curtis. It is a hilarious story about an African American family, who call themselves "the weird Watsons." Due to the antics of the older Watson brother, the family travels south during a tragic time in American history. Although they face tough times, the family grows closer together, keeps a sense of humor, and shares a lot of love.

BOOK REPORT opposites attract in citron book review

Fluffy the porcupine is not happy with his name. He makes several attempts to change himself so that he better fits his name. He is unsuccessful and frustrated. Eventually, he meets a rhinoceros that is also misnamed. They become friends because of their names.  

This is a fun book to read with your children at home and reinforce language arts skills by talking about synonyms and antonyms.  For example, imagine another animal, like a giraffe.  Then have your children think of words that describe a giraffe like tall, thin, and long neck, and words that are the opposite like short, wide, etc.
