Daniel D. MLK Violin Concert at Creighton
I thought it was going to be boring but then he started to paly on his violin – all the music we like to hear – and I had a ball. – Jamece
The Barack Obama speech was great. And Daniel D.’s tribute to MLK was great to hear. And he was cute. – Jaleaha

An Outing to the UNO Hockey Game
Northern Natural and the UNO Women’s Soccer Team hosted Girls Inc. to a night at UNO Hockey last Friday. We had a blast. The girls were treated to pre-game pizza and pop. They got to mingle with the soccer players and talk to them. I love that the soccer players talked about being on the honor roll and being serious students. The told the girls it was fun to play soccer but they also wanted to keep their grades up. Northern Natural also gave each girl a winter head band, sort of an ear warmer. The girls loved them because they think they are all too cool to wear hats. This winter, those head bands will come in very handy! Oh yeah, UNO won. – Ms. Emily
The soccer players asked the girls about themselves, too. They asked about their likes and dislikes, which sports they liked to play, and where they went to school. It was a nice opportunity for the girls and the soccer team to share a little bit. – Ms. Fatema

Kyanna’s book choice
My book is about jungles – with a monkey, a giraffe, and a zebra. And snakes and tigers and lions. And alligators. My favorite is the gorilla. – Kyanna
“Girls Choice Day” in the GIRLStart Room
We had more girls than we normally do because Ms. Mara was out today but the girls did well and they were excited to change learning station and rotate to a new one each time. Yesterday we added a writing station and the girls really enjoyed that. We will keep their writing samples in a portfolio to measure their writing progress throughout the year.
