ROARy the Scout Elf Sighting It was brought to my attention today that it is VERY possible that ROARy will be making an appearance at the 7th & 8th grade Christmas concert tomorrow night at LMS in the gym at 6:30pm. See if you can spot ROARy and I'm sure Mrs. Foster and the band would really appreciate the support! They've been working really hard preparing!

Where do Christmas trees go to school? Elemen-tree school!🤣 Happy Monday friends! Louie came to hang out again and of course, we found plenty to get into! We found this really cool chair thingy with wheels on it in Nurse Cassie's office (Louie said it's called a wheelchair)...Well, whatever it's called, we took turns pushing each other in it as fast as we could down the hallways. Don't tell Officer Threatt though or else I'll be wanted again...especially after I made his picture look so pretty the other day. Oh, I almost forgot to give a shoutout to Mrs. Carpenter's class for how quietly they were during their math workshop centers and Ms. Rallings' class for their excellent behavior at lunch on Friday! My time here is going by so fast, friends! Christmas break is only a few days away, so keep up the great work! See ya tomorrow!

Mrs. Rallings 3rd graders have been studying the 6 different regions of SC & some pretty cool facts about SC.

Fun Facts about SC: Capital - Columbia & it’s in the Sandhills region State Bird - Carolina Wren State Fruit - peaches (not GA) SC is the 2nd state to grow the most peaches State Nickname - The Palemtto State State Tree - the Palm Tree As we come into the Christmas season we need to all be reminded on how to be a good friend. Mrs. Rallings class took a stroll down the hall and had a mini lesson on kindness and being a good friend.

FINALLY, the rain went away so that Louie and I could go out and play...Boy oh boy is that spinami fun, but we spun so much that everything was spinning. So, we decided to regroup and find something new to get into, and we decorated some pictures up front. Go check them out! They're pretty great if we don't say so ourselves. Oh and I can't forget to shoutout Ms. Allen & Mrs. Ligon's class for how quietly they walked to lunch and fine arts and Mrs. Cassel's class for walking in a nice straight line. I'm having so much fun here with my friend Louie, but most of all, I really like watching how hard you and your teachers are working before Christmas break! P.S.

What is going on with all this melted snow falling out of the sky?! It's all yucky and gross outside, and I didn't pack a raincoat or my rainboots. I got sooo bored being stuck inside, but lucky for me, Louie came to hang out and Coach Jordan had so much room for activities in the gym. We rode the scooters and played basketball and made a cone obstacle course! Oh, and why didn't anyone tell me Santa was coming yesterday?!?! Shoutout to Mrs. King's class for a great job entering the library, Mrs. Weir's class for working quietly on their CFAs, and Mrs. Glenn's class for checking out their library books so quietly. Keep up the good work friends! I'll see ya tomorrow! Love, Roary Keep up with Roary's Adventures in the Link Below: https://www.chester.k12.sc.us/o/les/article/1899295

After all that front office nonsense, I needed a rest. A good book and a beanbag in the library did the trick...I was out like a light in no time...and how cute is my blanket?!?! Oh no! I hope I didn't drool on Ms. K's library book while I was asleep! We are supposed to take good care of library books or we can't check them out anymore! Great job Mrs. Farrar's class for their hardwork during their math lesson, Mrs. Knox's class for their great behavior in the hall on their way to lunch, and Miss Thomas' class for sitting quietly after their UFLI lesson. P.S. Let's do a challenge...I challenge you to say thank you 5 times today! Love, Roary Keep up with Roary's Adventures in the Link Below: https://www.chester.k12.sc.us/o/les/article/1899295

Goooooood moooorning LES, It was great to be back to my duty yesterday! I decided to celebrate by relaxing in Miss Clack's chair in the front office, but that was so far from relaxing because that phone would not stop ringing. I don't know how those front office ladies get anything done with that thing ringing nonstop. Tell them thank you if you see them, because they are rockstars! Oh I can't forget to shoutout Ms. Taylor's & Mrs. Jordan's and Ms. Yoder & Mrs. Barnes' classes for their great behavior going to the bus! See ya tomorrow, friends. Keep up the great work with behavior, I am so proud of you! Love, Roary Keep up with Roary's Adventures in the Link Below: https://www.chester.k12.sc.us/o/les/article/1899295

Dear LES, I decided to try to explain myself to Dr. Sutton (he's your super awesome superintendent, by the way), and...well...I'm off the hook! Take that, Officer Threatt. While meeting with Dr. Sutton, we discussed some top secret elf business, discussed partnering with Mr. Sumter to help with recruiting, and now I'm pretty sure we are gonna be besties for the resties. So I'm back reporting for duty and the shenanigans will continue... My helper teachers let me know to shout out Dr. Rockey's class for their excellent behavior in the lunchroom, Ms. Barber's class for their excellent behavior on their field trip, and Ms. Cousar's class for their nice quiet line in the lunchroom. See ya tomorrow! Love, Roary Keep up with Roary's Adventures in the Link Below: https://www.chester.k12.sc.us/o/les/article/1899295

Oh and I can't forget to shout out Mrs. Collins' & Mrs. Hinson's class for their excellent work on their UFLI lesson and Mrs. Clack's class for their awesome behavior in the hall on the way to lunch!

Brrrrrr, it is FREEZING...I thought it was supposed to be warm in South Carolina?! I needed somewhere cozy to warm up, and Mr. Trimble's art room was the perfect place. I decided to paint some "happy little trees" like Bob Ross, but his trees are definitely way better. Oh and will someone please tell Mr. Trimble the paintbrush on the board near his door is not the right size for an elf--wait, maybe that's why my happy trees were sad. Shoutout to Ms. Terry & Ms. Patterson's class for how quietly and patiently they waited in the hall and Mrs. Barron's class for taking their time on their MAP tests yesterday! Anywho, see ya tomorrow friends!! Love, Roary Keep up with Roary's Adventures in the Link Below: https://www.chester.k12.sc.us/o/les/article/1899295

Another great day at LES yesterday! Everybody worked so hard on MAP testing and it was so quiet. I was able to get plenty of rest so that I was prepared for my epic snowball fight with Louie, which I won by the way. Another big shout out to Mrs. McWatters' & Mrs. Bigham's class for being so quiet getting books during library and Mrs. Jordan's class for showing good behavior when leaving the library. P.S. I didn't clean up mine and Louie's mess, so give an extra high five to the Budd Group today for their hard work in keeping the school so clean! See ya tomorrow!
