Audubon Arts 2014

I can't say enough fabulous things about the group that puts together the Audubon Arts event for our students.  It is just awesome, and the kids remain excited about it year after year.  This year was a fantasy theme.  We started by making self-portraits and heat pressing them to t-shirts.  From there we went to enjoy story time by the very famous Mary Jo Huff.  She is so animated.  We even got our own set of peepers to take with us.  Our cafeteria staff packed us a very tasty sack lunch that we enjoyed on the lawn.  There was face painting and balloon animals, too.  We wrapped our day up with getting our hands dirty on the clay wheel and jammin' out to some music on the lawn.  Check out some pics from our fun day!

CBI Trip - Midwest America and Lunch

Last Thursday, we went on a CBI trip to Midwest America.  It was so cool to see all the planes they have stored there.  We learned lots of fascinating information, including that they have sound that goes off ever so often to scare the birds away.  Huh?  Didn't you always wonder how they keep the planes clean of bird droppings?  After our trip to see the planes, we went out to lunch to Cracker Barrel.  Yummy!!!

Pre-Game Party Fun

If you missed the pregame party we had a couple of weeks ago, then you missed a good time.  We started the evening listening to music and making game night posters with some awesome peer tutors.  From there we chowed down on pizza, chips, and cookies.  Before heading over to the game, we had quite the karaoke show.  The whole room was dancing and singing before it was over.  It was so nice to have fun and relax after school.  Check out a few fun pics from the night!

 This is my Frozen Princess.  She loved hanging out at Mommy's school for the night.

Fashion Disaster Tuesday

This week is Spirit Week at Apollo High School.  We are showing our school spirit by dressing up for every school day this week.  Friday is our big rival football game against Daviess County High School.  Today's theme is FASHION DISASTER.  In the picture above, you see Mrs. Duke and Trevore sporting their fashion disaster clothes.  We can't wait to see everyone's Christmas in September attire tomorrow.

7 Habits - Be Proactive

7 Habits

This year Apollo is becoming a 7 habits school.  A habit is something that you do over and over again.  You can have bad habits, like biting your nails, or good habits like always being positive.  Throughout the year, we are going to learn about the 7 habits.

Habit 1 - Be Proactive

Being proactive means being nice and helpful.  Proactive starts with the letter "p" just like positive starts with the letter "p".  People who are proactive are positive people.  They take responsibility for themselves, and don't blame others when things don't go their way.  As a class, we are going to try to be more proactive and NOT reactive.  Check out this video to learn the difference being proactive can make. 

Bowling

Written by....Mrs. Duke's Class

We went bowling today.  It was fun.  Not only did we get to hang out with our friends from AHS, but our friends from DCHS were there as well.  Almost every student in our class bowled a strike.  Maybe we should be professionals!!!  Okay...well maybe I wouldn't go that far, but we were pretty good.  Check out just a few of our pictures from today.

We can't wait for our next CBI to the Audubon Arts Festival.  Field trips are always fun, plus we get to get out of class!
