Episode 11

Tapeman had to stay at school over the Thanksgiving break because no one invited him to their house for a turkey dinner. That allowed him to get lots of rest in Mrs. Harmony’s room. He was very excited when the students returned because he got to learn about genetics. He did not realize that his 23rd pair of chromosomes was XY since he is a male. One bright student even decided that his translucent skin color is recessive so both of his parents are probably almost see-through as well. This might mean that he sunburns easily so we are going to give him a bottle of sunscreen to carry with him when he goes outside to participate in Fun Friday.

Episode 10

Well, Tapeman has decided to move to Mrs. Ellis’ room. She and the students are extremely nice and helpful. His first day there was the benchmark, and he was so nervous that he passed out and fell on his face. The students said that if he used Prove It! that it would help him to do his best. Guess what? It did!

After that, Tapeman headed to gym where he talked so much that Mr. Norman took a letter and made him sit out! He behaved better in all of the classes that followed that he was able to go to the Privilege Party. It started with an auction where Mrs. Farley sold him a basket of candy for $350 FMS dollars. Next, Tapeman went to Mrs. Ellis’ scavenger hunt where he found all of the items and was rewarded with a popcorn ball and a Patio Pass. Mrs. Harmony’s snack room was delicious with many treats. Finally, it was off to play bingo in Mrs. Robert’s room. Tapeman didn’t win, but he had a great time with the Camelot team!!!

Episode 9

Tapeman eagerly awaited Mrs. Martin's Hombase on Monday morning. The students were happy to see we had a new student and made him feel right at home. Tapeman must have been tired from such a busy week last week, because he spent his first day sitting in the back of the class, with not much to say. Unfortunately, he lost his first privilege letter for wearing a hat inside after many warnings! On Tuesday, he started fresh and was glad to get out and take the long walk inside the building for lunch! For the rest of the day he was excited to read fairy tales and enjoyed them greatly!

Episode 8

Tapeman arrived and yelled, "my students!" He just sneaked through the door from MAC 315! That is short for mobile academic cottage! He got here on Wednesday during bus time!

He arrived wearing several shirts and WINGS! Must have been how he arrived so quickly and quietly!

The class decided since the Swine Flu is so contagious, and Tapeman forgot to bring his form in on time to get the shot, that they needed to add some precautions to help him stay well through the flu season. We gave him a bottle of Germ-X, a surgical mask, and a latex glove. Gee, we sure hope he isn’t allergic to latex. Now he will be safe since he isn’t getting his H1N1 shot!

Good luck, Tapeman! Stay well because we love you!

Mrs. Kramer’s class

Episode 7

The students in Mrs. Terrell’s class were so bright that Tapeman decided he needed sunglasses and decided he wanted to go to UVA. Before he left though, he dressed up with his bow tie and new hair style for picture day. The wings helped him to get to his next location.

Episode 6

October 19, 2009

I had an awesome time in Mrs. Haney’s class. The kids were really excited to see me!

On Thursday we went to the library. Mrs. Young told us about call numbers, and we went searching for books with different numbers. When we finished, I went straight to the computer to take AR tests. I took AR tests on The Wednesday Wars and Miss Spitfire. Both books were outstanding, and I passed the tests! I only have to read one more book before I can go to Putt-Putt for the Virginia Readers’ Choice Field Trip. After my AR tests, I had a chance to read in the LGI, and Mrs. Haney took pictures of us. I told her to make sure she got my good side. I love the library!

I ate lunch in the cafeteria with my friends. Everyone wanted me to sit with them! I had delicious chicken nuggets and a yummy cookie. I can’t wait to try the pizza!

On Friday we worked with our Lit. Circle groups. My group is reading I Am David, and it’s a great book! I was the illustrator, so I shared my illustration with the group. We took turns sharing – it was so much fun!

During Fun Friday I walked the track with some cute girls! Someone bumped me and almost broke my arm. Mrs. Haney and some of my friends fixed me up in "Mrs. Haney’s Emergency Room." Some strong packing tape did the trick. I still had fun, although my arm hurt a little bit.

The weather is cold now, so Mrs. Haney’s students gave me a winter hat this morning. Thank you! I’m ready for the next Fun Friday!
I had a great time in Mrs. Haney’s class, and I will be sad to move on. I met some amazing people, and I won’t forget my new friends!

Love, Tapeman

Episode 5

Ms. Cobbins' Class

When Tapeman came to visit our science class, he was there bright and early to greet the children as they came through the door with a happy "Hello!" and a bright smile.

Tapeman helped with solar system projects. He examined specimens through the microscope. He learned a lot about cell reproduction and received an A on his quiz!

Alas, Tapeman had to be on his way to continue his tour of FMS. The students were so sad to say goodby to a really great guy!
