International Dot Day

Comments Off on International Dot Day

The first grade celebrated International Dot Day on Monday, September 15th, the kindergarten on Tuesday, September 16th.  International Dot Day was started by a teacher in Iowa in honor of the book, The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds.  We watched a video interview with the author describing how he was inspired to write the book.  Then he read the book.  Mr. Reynolds dedicated the book to his 7th grade math teacher who dared him to “make his mark.”  You can watch the video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKKVDaHiM4E

After hearing the book each student made his own “dot” using a special page from http://www.thedotclub.org/ and Colormix.  When viewed with a special app the flat pictures become three-dimensional. You can get the app from Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. Check out http://www.colarapp.com/ for coloring pages.

Here are a few of the finished “dots.”

Hawks Hopes of Going Undefeated Is Now A Lost Thought

Comments Off on Hawks Hopes of Going Undefeated Is Now A Lost Thought

The Hay Springs Hawks had hoped to make this year an unforgettable one by going undefeated in the regular season. Last Thursday night the Hawks faced the Hemingford Bobcats quickly killing that dream as they went 3-1.

The Hawks had come out early hitting hard, but the Bobcats didn’t back down. They stopped the Hawk’s run game almost completely, ending with ZERO rushing yards. Their passing game wasn’t much better, with 4 completed passes and threw 3 interceptions

The Bobcats didn’t put their second team in until the middle of the third quarter. The Hawks quickly jumped on that and put up 16 points late in the third. The Bobcats wouldn’t have that though. They put in the first team again until late in the fourth, when the Hawks put their second team in against Hemingford’s second team. The score was 62 to 16 but Hemingford decided to pound the ball in on the 3-yard line, making the score 70 to 16. With four seconds left Chris Ray returned the ball making the final score 70-22.

Next Thursday night Hay Springs face off against the Leyton Warriors. Kick off time is 7 pm. Leyton is the top district rival for this years’ Hawk’s football system.

Fall Begins with Rain

Comments Off on Fall Begins with Rain

On the first night of autumn the rain began to fall. As the rain started falling, bean harvest was put on hold, making the rain a good and bad thing.

The storm started with a big blow of wind followed by lightning and thunder. The storm lasted throughout the night. When morning rolled around the storm was gone and there was a storm front that moved in and brought some blessed rain.

As the day went on, the rain continued to fall but not a constant rain- it would stop and then start again making the day gloomy. Farmers are not too happy with the rain, yet it is much needed for all of the cornfields. However, beans are ready to be harvested now, therefore, now farmers are put on hold until the beans that have already been cut are dried out. and start when the beans and ground  becomes dry the harvest can be continues.

Comments Off on Hawks Go 3-0

Last Thursday night, September 12th, the Hawks played the Edgemont Moguls on the home field. The Hawks quickly shut the Moguls down in the first quarter, ending with the score of 34-0. Shortly into the second quarter Coach Jason Funk took out the starters to replace them with the second team. Chris Ray said, “We executed our offence and defense efficiently to come out on top early.”

The Hawks still put up 30 points, but the Moguls weren’t going home without a score on the board. They returned to kick-offs but weren’t able to get the two-point conversion and the other was an attempted PAT that was also shut down by the Hawks.

In the 3rd and 4th quarters the Hawks put up another 8 points in each ending the game with the final score of 80-12. Jordan Houser exclaims, ‘’We could have gotten out of that game without them scoring, but we’re not the type of team to run up the score.”
