Keenoy Pup’s News                                                                                       5-4-18 Dear Families,        Thank you so much for everything that you have done to support my teaching this year.   This is a tremendous group of students and I will truly miss them.   I’m confident that they are prepared for Middle School and will continue being kind citizens wherever they are.   This will be my last newsletter and Friday folder marks of the year.   I will be preparing grades, entering competencies, and writing third trimester comments for progress reports.   If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.   This is such a busy time of year, so I tried to include all of the information that is needed.   In addition to the information in this newsletter, you will also find other handouts with more specific information in your child’s Friday folder.   Have a wonderful weekend!      Pup of the Week Gaon J. Hello, my nam

Keenoy Pup’s News                                              4-27-18 Dear Families,      What a fun week in our classroom!   Again, thank you to so many of you who donated “snack goodies” for our movie/picnic celebration.   We also spent some time today in the media center participating in a makerspace “bug” challenge.   I really enjoy standing back and watching them interact kindly with each other.   They are very helpful and seem to genuinely like being around one another.   Have a wonderful week! Pup of the Week-Taylor B. Hello, my name is Taylor.   I have eight siblings and half of them are step siblings.   My favorite subject in school is math.   The things that I like to do in my free time is play with Legos and read books.   I have three main pets.   They are a dog and two cats.   I also have a lot of fish that I like to take care of.   I am looking forward to sixth grade, but have enjoyed 5 th grade a lot.

Keenoy Pup’s News                                              4-20-18 Dear Families, I hope that everyone had a terrific and healthy week.   Your child may have already shared, but I think that our dog Susie just won the Most Destructive Dog Award this week.   Susie just turned a year old so you would think that she would start growing out of her destructive ways!   Jessi and I decided to give her an opportunity to roam the house unsupervised for an hour or so.   Really Bad Idea!   She ripped up an entire section of carpeting in our living room.   I’ll include a picture in this week’s blog.   Luckily, we had already ordered new flooring the week prior to her living room adventure.   This newsletter will be kept mostly informational.   Have a wonderful weekend! Pup of the Week-Sabrina H. Hello, my name is Sabrina. 😊   I have three cats, Salem, Mizuno, and Mookie.   My older sister, Miette is in 9 th grade.   I am very excited to go to Middle School and enjoyed my tim

Keenoy Pup’s News                                              4-13-18 Dear Families, The weeks are flying by right now, and I am staying extremely busy at home and school.   I’m looking forward to the warmer weather, but was not super excited about cutting the grass for the first time on Thursday.   Please let me know if you have any questions about the busy last two months ahead.   Have a terrific weekend. Pups of the Week-Lilly M. Hi!   My name is Lilly.   At home, my family includes myself, my mom, and my dad.   I am originally from Louisburg, a small town in Kansas.   We moved almost eight years ago to Columbia.   When I am not at school or home, I am usually on the dance floor.   Dancing has been my passion ever since the age of three.   This summer I hope to start the activity horseback riding.   When I am older, I hope to get my major in teaching.   I was happy to start the year that is now coming to an end.   I want to give a special thanks to Mr. Keenoy and m

Keenoy Pup’s News                                              4-6-18 Dear Families, I can’t believe that we are dealing with snow events during the first weeks of April!   The 5 th grade year is coming to an end soon.   April and May are jam packed with events. You will notice that my newsletters will start becoming filled with more general information vs. academic. Have a wonderful week and thank you for your support each day.

Dear Families,         Since this will be the last newsletter before spring break, I hope my students have an enjoyable week off.   Our family looks forward to a relaxing week together.   My wife could save up her vacation time and will have the entire week off with us.       Next week is Spirit Week at Paxton Keeley, with a focus on respect. Each day, our school will be having a celebration. The schedule is in the Friday Folder. Each classroom will also work on a door decoration for a schoolwide contest. Pup of the Week-Hattie H.
