Welcome, Mr. Eric Ellingworth


Okay, bloggers, time to welcome Mr. Eric Ellingworth to Water for Sixth Grade and to Social Studies. Mr. Ellingworth will be student teaching in social studies for the next two months. While he is here, we will be studying Ancient India and Ancient Greece, two very intriguing civilizations. Mr. Ellingworth is from Redwood Falls, MN. He went to college at Augustana College, where he played football as a wide receiver. Mr. Ellingworth, like Mr. Klumper, is a member of one of the most prestigious groups in the country, the "Flyers." While Mr. Ellingworth is here, I expect the same level of respect that you give to me. It will be a good two months.

Since Mr. Ellingworth just got here, I thought it would be very fitting to show him the power of the blog. I have told him a little bit about Water for Sixth Grade, but now I want to show him it in action. It will take awhile for Mr. Ellingworth to learn your names and get to know you. So, we are going to have a blog activity to help Mr. Ellingworth get to know you.
Here is your task: Students, post a comment on this blog post. In your comment, tell Mr. Ellingworth something about yourself. It could be your favorite movie, favorite book, what you like to do in your free time, favorite video game, anything you want to share about yourself. In addition, I also want you to post a question that you may have for Mr. Ellingworth. This will be a great opportunity for him to share about himself and get used to using Water for Sixth Grade. He will reply to your questions. This will be very helpful, as Mr. Ellingworth tries to get to know you all.

Post a comment:
1. sharing something about yourself
2. a question that you have for Mr. Ellingworth

Thank you.


I hope you are all ready for a great second half of the school year. It will be one you will never forget.

Hi Mr. Ellingworth. I can't wait for you to come up and teach. Me, I really like sports. I play track, basketball, and my favorite football. If you had to know one thing about me, it would be that i love football. I played running back on my team. My team made it to the third place championship twice and won and made it to the first place one this year. We won that year too. This surprised me but I carried the ball thirty-two times for a hundred and ninety-four yards. I scored twenty-eight touchdowns on the year. On defense I played safty that blitzed every play and I mean EVERY PLAY. I am very fast. I wish football was all year round. I also ski. I've skied for eleven hours once. I am a Minnesota Vikings fan; I like the Twins too. I don't really watch basketball that much. My question for you is what is your favorite NFL team (Vikings.) :)

Welcome to the Brandon Valley 6th grade Social Studies we are all glad you got a chance to come and watch how we do our work! I am going to start of by telling you something about me. I went to Elementary School in Brookings for kindergarten and half of first grade. Then my family and I moved to Brandon and I went to school at Brandon Elementary for the other half of first grade - third grade. Then we built a house on the other side of town so then I went to Robert Bennis Elementary School for 4th and 5th grade and ended up here in Brandon Valley Middle Shool for my 6th grade year. This leads to the guestion I am going to ask you. What school did you go to when you grew up? Thank you for reading my comment and welcome to The Middle School!

dear Mr.Ellingworth,the thing about me is that i am a total bookworm and that i skipped second grade because I was amarter than everyone else and I got all A's and I was too smart for 1st grade. My questions are how old are you and what do you want to be when you graduate. Graduate is one of my spelling words this week. The other questions are, so you want to teach or would you want to be a doctor or follow in Mr.Klumper's footsteps and be a scocial studies and spelling.

samanthab9 said...

Today is my birthday(12),and I past through Redwood Falls,MN this weekend on my way to Olivia,MN to get to cute schipperke dogs. One thing I would like to know is how old are you?

Mr. Ellingworth said...

Hi Macy,
Thanks for the comment. What is your favorite thing to do at Great Bear - Ski, Tube, or Snowboard? I actually hope to teach either 6th or 8th grade someday.

Andrew,
Thanks for sharing. You're right, Augie is the best school ever! The position I played at Augie was Wide Receiver. All the wide receivers at Augie are known as the "Flyers."

Dodge,
Thanks for sharing. I really like steak, too. I love sports, so my favorite thing to do in my free time is watch ESPN.

Emily,
That's awesome! Redwood Falls is also known as "heaven on Earth." I know Cindy Collins. She is a teacher in the middle school I went to. Is that your aunt?

Logan,
What's up dude? A good friend of mine actually plays Division 1 hockey at MSU-Mankato. His name is Jerad Stewart. I got a scholarship to play quarterback at Auburn, but I turned them down to go to Augie instead and stay close to home. Because I didn't choose Auburn, they offered my scholarship to some guy named Cam Newton instead. I heard he's not very good though.

Nick,
That's awesome. I love running, too. I played. Wide Receiver at Augustana.

Alex,
That's awesome! You sound like an awesome athlete. I don't think I've scored 28 touchdowns in my entire life! Congrats on a great season. I'm also glad you are a Vikings and Twins fan! I'm the biggest Minnesota Vikings fan alive. We'll have a lot of fun talking Viking football!

spencer D6 said...

hey mr. Ellingworth!


my name is Spencer Donaway and I'm a black belt in tae-kwon-do. I was wondering, is football your favorite sport?

Mr. Ellingworth said...

James,
My favorite console is the PS3 as well. Tell me in class what your favorite game is. Mine is NCAA Football 2011 and Tiger Woods Golf.

Sonjah,
You don't hurt them too bad, do you? Unfortunately, I never was in college at the same time as Mr. Klumper. However, my older brother was in college at the same time as he was. They played football together so I watched many of Mr. Klumper's football games. Also, Mr. Klumper's younger brother and I played football and went to college together.

Taylor,
That's awesome. I'm glad you're an Augustana fan. I decided to be a teacher so I can hang out with cool kids like you all day long.

Kaitlyn,
It sounds like you're an awesome softball player and dancer. I'm sure you're good at many things as well. I hope to teach either 6th or 8th grade someday.

Abbi,
It sounds like you have a bunch of cool pets. I do not have any, but my older brother just got a black lab named Rocket. I got to play with Rocket a bunch of Christmas break.

Alex,
Thanks for the comment. I grew up in Redwood Falls, Minnesota and went to high school there at Redwood Valley High School. It was awesome. Redwood Falls is about half way between Sioux Falls and the Twin Cities.

Abby M,
I do think Mr. Klumper is cool. You seem pretty cool, too. Do you think Mr. Klumper is cool?

Aly R,
I like to play sports in my free time, too. I went to high school in Redwood Falls, Minnesota at Redwood Valley High School.

Mr. Ellingworth said...

Kate F,
Guess what? I've never played soccer before so you are probably way better than I am. I went to high school at Redwood Valley High School in Redwood Falls, Minnesota.

Selena,
Thanks for sharing and Happy early Birthday! My golden birthday was when I was 2 so I don't remember it. That's cool that you like monkeys. Imagine how cool it would be to have a monkey as a pet! That would be awesome! I have two siblings. One brother who is 26 years old, and one sister who is 17. I am 22 years old. Guess what? I went to the Vikings/Cowboys football game last year and got a picture with Jerry Jones, the Cowboys owner. Let me know if you would like to see it sometime.

Emily K,
That's awesome that you are a Twins fan because they're my favorite team, too. I have a younger sister who got to sing the national anthem at Target Field for a Twins game this past summer. Have you been to any Twins games?

Monet,
I am a huge Minnesota Vikings fan so we will get along great! My favorite college football team is the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and Augustana of course! :)

Sam,
I think it would be cool if I could teach at Brandon Valley. That would be awesome!

Molly K,
I do not have any pets, but I hope to get a dog someday. My brother just got a black lab. His name is Rocket. He's awesome! Let me know if you would like to see pictures sometime!

Brandon,
Congrats on a great football season. I played Wide Receiver at Augustana. In high school I played WR and cornerback, too. I also was a kick and punt returner in high school.

Elsie,
That's awesome! However, it's not awesome that you're an SDSU fan. Next time you talk to Mr. Klumper, ask him how many touchdowns he scored against SDSU his freshman year. You will be amazed! I could maybe do 10 pushups with a person on my back. I'm not sure though because I've never had to do pushups with someone on my back!

Carly,
That's awesome that you love softball and school. I love learning new things, too. I had many great teachers growing up that inspired me to be a teacher. I also have a passion for working with young people (especially sixth graders). I look forward to teaching you during the next few months.

Kayla,
Thanks for sharing. I decided to go into teaching because I really enjoy working with young people and I really love Social Studies!

Carter,
That's awesome that you love to hunt. I like to hunt and fish, too. I wore the #1 in football at Augustana. However, I was #81 my freshman year. Mr. Klumper was also #81 his freshman year.

Haley,
Thanks for welcoming me to BVMS. I went to Elementary School for Kindergarten through 4th grade at Reede Gray Elementary School, 5th grade through 8th grade at Redwood Valley Middle School and 9th through 12th grade at Redwood Valley High School in Redwood Falls, Minnesota. I graduated in 2006.

Sidney,
That's awesome. My favorite book is Shutter Island by Denis Lehane. My favorite movie is Gladiator.

Victoria,
That's really cool. I do not have any pets, but my older brother just got a dog named Rocket. He is a black lab. I got to play with him a lot over the break.

Marissa,
Nice to meet you too!

Kaylee,
I really like tennis, too. I'm not very good though. My younger sister is pretty good and she beats me all the time. To answer your question, I started playing flag football in 4th grade and tackle football in 7th grade, so that is 14 total years! I've played football longer than you've been alive!

Congrats on a great football season. I played Wide Receiver at Augustana. In high school I played WR and cornerback, too. I also was a kick and punt returner in high school.

Elsie,
That's awesome! However, it's not awesome that you're an SDSU fan. Next time you talk to Mr. Klumper, ask him how many touchdowns he scored against SDSU his freshman year. You will be amazed! I could maybe do 10 pushups with a person on my back. I'm not sure though because I've never had to do pushups with someone on my back!

Carly,
That's awesome that you love softball and school. I love learning new things, too. I had many great teachers growing up that inspired me to be a teacher. I also have a passion for working with young people (especially sixth graders). I look forward to teaching you during the next few months.

Kayla,
Thanks for sharing. I decided to go into teaching because I really enjoy working with young people and I really love Social Studies!

Carter,
That's awesome that you love to hunt. I like to hunt and fish, too. I wore the #1 in football at Augustana. However, I was #81 my freshman year. Mr. Klumper was also #81 his freshman year.

Haley,
Thanks for welcoming me to BVMS. I went to Elementary School for Kindergarten through 4th grade at Reede Gray Elementary School, 5th grade through 8th grade at Redwood Valley Middle School and 9th through 12th grade at Redwood Valley High School in Redwood Falls, Minnesota. I graduated in 2006.

Sidney,
That's awesome. My favorite book is Shutter Island by Denis Lehane. My favorite movie is Gladiator.

Victoria,
That's really cool. I do not have any pets, but my older brother just got a dog named Rocket. He is a black lab. I got to play with him a lot over the break.

Marissa,
Nice to meet you too!

Kaylee,
I really like tennis, too. I'm not very good though. My younger sister is pretty good and she beats me all the time. To answer your question, I started playing flag football in 4th grade and tackle football in 7th grade, so that is 14 total years! I've played football longer than you've been alive!

Guess what? I've never played soccer before so you are probably way better than I am. I went to high school at Redwood Valley High School in Redwood Falls, Minnesota.

Selena,
Thanks for sharing and Happy early Birthday! My golden birthday was when I was 2 so I don't remember it. That's cool that you like monkeys. Imagine how cool it would be to have a monkey as a pet! That would be awesome! I have two siblings. One brother who is 26 years old, and one sister who is 17. I am 22 years old. Guess what? I went to the Vikings/Cowboys football game last year and got a picture with Jerry Jones, the Cowboys owner. Let me know if you would like to see it sometime.

Emily K,
That's awesome that you are a Twins fan because they're my favorite team, too. I have a younger sister who got to sing the national anthem at Target Field for a Twins game this past summer. Have you been to any Twins games?

Monet,
I am a huge Minnesota Vikings fan so we will get along great! My favorite college football team is the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and Augustana of course! :)

Sam,
I think it would be cool if I could teach at Brandon Valley. That would be awesome!

Amy,
Thanks for the question. My favorite color is blue.

Jeremy,
I've been to the races in Redwood Falls many times. To answer your question, I scored 3 touchdowns at Augustana.

Morgan,
BOOOOOOOOOO! I strongly dislike the Packers! I'm a Vikings fan. I hope to teach either 6th or 8th grade Social Studies one day. GO VIKINGS! :)

Nikita,
I do like cheese. My favorite pizza is cheese pizza!

Jessica,
I decided to be a teacher once I went to college... so about four years ago.

Dianne,
Great question! My middle name is Gordon. What is yours?

Hanna,
Yes, I remember you! Mr. Klumper says you're a weirdo! Just kidding :) I thought I wanted to be a teacher from the time I was very young. However, it wasn't until college when I knew for sure I wanted to teach.

Mr. Ellingworth said...

Rebecca,
That's awesome. I like country too. One thing that I love is my family. I also love sports and listening to all kinds of music!

Maggi,
That's really cool that your family does foster care. That is something I should look into as I get older. I am still in college at Augustana. I am a senior and have just one semester left. I graduate in May 2011!

Erin,
That's awesome that you're an artist. I wish I was good at drawing and painting. I've been playing football for 14 years. That's older than you are! I like to think I'm good at it, but Mr. Klumper is better. Thanks for welcoming me to the class. I look forward to being your teacher.

Taylor,
I like basketball and softball, too. College football was a lot of fun. I had a great time playing it, and met a lot of great people while playing.

Cole,
I've never wakeboarded or snowboarded before, but I'd like to! I play wide receiver in football.

Jessica,
Nice to meet you. I look forward to being your teacher for the next couple months. Unfortunately, I did not score after this picture. I think I got pushed out of bounds on that play. The thing I like most about Social Studies is history and geography. My favorite sixth grade unit is Ancient Rome! I think you'll like that unit, too!

Sheridan,
That's really cool. You sound pretty intelligent! I'm also glad you spelled "graduate" correctly. I am 22 years old. When I graduate, I would like to be a teacher. I really enjoy young people like yourseld and am also very passionate about Social Studies, so I will most likely follow in Mr. Klumper's footsteps and become a Social Studies teacher.

Lexi,
I like to dance, too, but I'm not very good at it. You are probably way better than I am. To answer your question, I am 22 years old.

Eric Ellingworth said...

Libby,
I do not have any pets. However, my brother just got a dog named Rocket. He named him after his favorite football player growing up, Rocket Ismail. I got to play with him a lot over Chirstmas break.

Ozzie,
That's not good that you got hit by a car. I hope you did not get hurt. Getting the chance to have a positive impact on kids is why I decided to become a teacher.

Kaylee,
I do not have any pets. However, my brother just got a dog named Rocket. He named him after his favorite football player growing up, Rocket Ismail. I got to play with him a lot over Chirstmas break. He is a black lab. Also, I bet you could strike me out in softball.

Mason,
I actually do know your brother. I think we lived on the same floor in Granskou Hall during 2007 and 2008 (sixth floor). That's awesome. Are you going to go to Augustana, too? It's a great school!

Samantha,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! That's awesome! I've been to Olivia, MN many times. To answer your question, I am 22 years old.

Eric Ellingworth said...

James,
My favorite console is the PS3 as well. Tell me in class what your favorite game is. Mine is NCAA Football 2011 and Tiger Woods Golf.

Sonjah,
You don't hurt them too bad, do you? Unfortunately, I never was in college at the same time as Mr. Klumper. However, my older brother was in college at the same time as he was. They played football together so I watched many of Mr. Klumper's football games. Also, Mr. Klumper's younger brother and I played football and went to college together.

Taylor,
That's awesome. I'm glad you're an Augustana fan. I decided to be a teacher so I can hang out with cool kids like you all day long.

Kaitlyn,
It sounds like you're an awesome softball player and dancer. I'm sure you're good at many things as well. I hope to teach either 6th or 8th grade someday.

Abbi,
It sounds like you have a bunch of cool pets. I do not have any, but my older brother just got a black lab named Rocket. I got to play with Rocket a bunch of Christmas break.

Alex,
Thanks for the comment. I grew up in Redwood Falls, Minnesota and went to high school there at Redwood Valley High School. It was awesome. Redwood Falls is about half way between Sioux Falls and the Twin Cities.

Abby M,
I do think Mr. Klumper is cool. You seem pretty cool, too. Do you think Mr. Klumper is cool?

Aly R,
I like to play sports in my free time, too. I went to high school in Redwood Falls, Minnesota at Redwood Valley High School.

CarlyC4 said...

Hi Mr.Ellingworth,
Carly Campbell again I totally forgot to ask did you get a full ride scholarship for Augie? If you did what for football,academics or what? I want to go to Augie and plan to get full ride for softball which I am catcher or for my academics. Plus I think Augustana is a awesome college! =)

Bryn N4 said...

My favorite color is blue and my favorite food is tacos or pizza I told you that today in class at my desk by your computer. My question for you is what is your favorite color and long have you been in sioux falls.

rohans8 said...

Hi Mr.Ellingworth my name is Rohan. I'm a HUGE packers fan. My question is what position did you play in football.

Carson Haase 9th Period (homeroom) said...

Hola, Mr. Ellingworth

My name is Carson Haase and I play hockey with the Lady Flyers (Sioux Falls) JV And Varsity team. I love to go to College Hockey games and ride snowmobiles with my family. My favorite colors are orange and blue because they are FLYERS colors. My favorite food is Pork-Chop on a Stick (invention my grandpa came up with some how so you don't have to use a plate!) I also love hang out with friends, and having a good time, but who likes to have a bad time?

My question for you is: Do you play any other sports other than football? (hockey, baseball, basketball, etc.)

Mr. Ellingworth said...

Roman - Come on, man! The Vikings are awesome! I am actually 22 years old which is twice as old as you are. My favorite sport other than football is track & field.

Tyler - I played Wide Receiver at Augustana. Wide Receivers at Augustana are known as the Flyers.

Carly - Sounds like you are a very smart girl and a great softball player. I got a scholarship for both football and academics at Augustana. College at Augustana was a great experience.

Bryn - I remember you telling me that yesterday. You should wear your Augustana gear to class! My favorite color is blue and I have lived in Sioux Falls since August of 2006.

Carson - The Flyers is a cool name for a hockey team. Also, porkchop on a stick is a great idea. I should try that. In high school, I played football, basketball, and track. I also play golf and softball in my free time. I love to golf.

Mr. Ellingworth said...

Spencer,
That's very cool that you're a black belt. Now I know not to mess with you! Football is my favorite sport, but I also like to play golf.

ZaneS8 said...

Hi Mr. Ellingworth!

My name is Zane, and I am in Texas now on vacation. I am in Mr. Klumpers 8th period class. But lets get to the information. When I'm back in Brandon, I like to stay inside and watch TV or play video games. If I'm not inside I like to snowboard.
But since I am in Texas right now and getting 70's weather, I might as well tell you what I like to do down here. I do enjoy being in the water wether its at the beach or at a pool. But, I usually get out on the golf course as much as I can. I do enjoy playing football as well. BUT, I have 1 question, is your goal to be on the NFL some day? Becouse if you do, try your best to get to the Vikings. PLEASE RESPOND!

KaTeLyN NiSsEn Pd 3 said...

Hey, Mr.Ellingwoth, my name is Katelyn Nissen.A couple of my favorite hobbies are to go wakeboarding, play softball, I really like to go swimming in the summer, and I just started to learn how to ski, and well I REALLY enjoy that.Oh, my 2 favorite teams are the Vikings, and IA HAWKEYES, since I just moved from IA last summer. My question for you is, Do you like to ski? Have you ever etempted to ski??

Carson Haase 9th period said...

Cool..... We (Grandpa, me and other family members) have a Sportsman's Show every year and we sell pork on a stick there because grandpa owns a groecery store in tracy mn. You should come up some time, there're really good... :)
I also thanks for the compliment on the flyer thing....

Hope you have a good time with the whole grade!

Carson Haase 9th period said...

I happened to notice your from Redwood.... I asked my dad if he regonized the name and he said he had you mom as teach once or twice.... My dad is from Redwood too..... Maybe you regonize our name... HAASE..... there are quite a few of us around there still...
One more Question...... What are the " Flyers" that it talks about in the paragraph about you....

Carson Haase 9th period said...

You mostly likely know where Tracy, MN is right? Well, my grandpa, Bruce Schelhaas, owns Tracy Food Pride. I am also pretty sure that my uncle, David Haase, owns a car wash in Redwood to but I am not quite sold on which one it is. But maybe you might regonize names or something. Dad seems pretty sold that he had your parents
for teachers.

Mr. Ellingworth said...

Zane,
Nice to meet you. I hope you're having a good time in Texas. I love to golf as well so I wish I was in Texas to play some golf, too. The Vikings are my favorite team, too! It would be really cool to play for them.

Katelyn,
Sounds like you love water sports! I've skiied before and I really enjoy it. However, I've never wakeboarded but I'd like to try! You're a Hawkeye fan? That's too bad. I guess I won't hold that against you :)

Carly,
On top of majoring in Social Studies and Education, I also majored in business administration. I think if there was another thing I could major in it would be journalism so I could be a sports writer for Sports Illustrated.

Dayton,
That's cool about your cousin. What is his name? I think it would be cool to teach in Brandon! If I could teach any grade it would be either 6th or 8th grade.

Carson,
Really? That's really cool that my mom taught your dad. I will ask if she knows him. At Augustana, the wide receivers are known as the Flyers. Mr. Klumper is also a "Flyer."

Selena,
I think it would really cool to have a monkey, too. I'm not much of a COwboys fan, but my roommate loves the Cowboys. Well, see you in 4th period!

Carson,
PS - I do know where Tracy is. I've been there many times for different sporting events. I'll talk to my parents tonight so I'll see if they remember your dad. I'm sure they do!

Small world right? Did any one else go to the stampede game tonight? It was a good game... They won 2 to 1 in over-time. Was a good time with the whole team... (LADY FLYERS) One of the parents told us if the whole team stood up and danced to one of the music breaks she would give us $10. And we got the ten bucks. I am sad though... they don't sell snowcones anymore :(. Hope everybody has a great weekend. I know mine has come to a great start. I get to go ride snowmobiles with two of the girls on my team tomorrow and I am really excited. I am a true winter person. Hey Mr. Klumper, I am going to Tracy this weekend. Kidding!!! Have a good weekend!

Anthony,
Thanks for posting, dude. How big was the carp you caught this summer? By the way, you're going to have to show off your singing voice one of these days.

Carson,
Did you have fun at the Stampede game? I'm not much of a hockey fan, but I'm starting to get into it somewhat.

Morgan,
Nice to meet you. My favorite class in high school was a Video Production class that I took my junior year of high school. Basically, we got to make a lot of cool movies in that class. It was a blast! I went to Redwood Valley High School in Redwood Falls, MN. I'm actually somwewhat of an OU fan. I actually went to the Oklahoma vs Texas Tech game two years ago down in Norman. Remind me to bring pictures to show you.

Carly,
That's awesome that you're going to Augie for softball camp. Augie is really good at softball.

Selena,
My favorite football team is the Minnesota Vikings. They had a rough year this year, but I'm confident they'll bounce back and have a great season next year.

Hey its me again. I have more questions too.

#1 Do you have girl friend?

#2 How many siblings do you have?

#3 What are your favorite sports?

#4 What are your favorite sport teams?

#5 What are you favorite foods?

Mr. Ellingworth said...

Morgan - I played Wide Receiver in college. You like SDSU? You should ask Mr. Klumper how many touchdowns he scored against SDSU his freshman year of college. Also ask him who won the game?

Dayton - I plan on getting a Master's degree eventually, but I'm not sure if I will complete it at Augustana. If I get a job around the area then I probably will.

Selena - I hope you had a great birthday!

Anthony - Thanks for sharing. I have two siblings, one brother who is 26, and a sister who is 17. My favorite sports are football and golf. My favorite football team is the Minnesota Vikings and Notre Dame Fighting Irish. My favorite food is steak or seafood.
