Today we wrote onomatopoeia poems. We put them on construction paper and decorated them. In music we practiced our ukuleles and recorders. Most of us got new belts. In math Betsy’s class learned how to change mixed numerals into improper fractions and improper fraction into mixed numerals. We had Hollytime. She is reading The Candymaker to us. Now we are going to computer class.

We made $22.00 more dollars from the Bake Sale today. Thank you!!!!

Wednesday by Scott and Cassie

In Betsy’s math class we learned how to add and subtract fractions with like denominators. After Fruit Break we read to our little buddies in Katlyn’s class. In drama we practiced our plays and in art we added to our tissue paper collages. In class we worked in groups to brainstorm ideas for fractured fairy tale puppet shows. Our bake sale brought in $40.00! There are things left over, so we can buy something tomorrow, too.

Tuesday by Scott and Cassie

Betsy’s math class did some pre-algebra and learned about greatest common factors and least common multiples. In art we worked on our tissue paper collages. We read our books and wrote alliterative sentences about a character. Betsy read The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig. In science we investigated the wheel and axle by comparing how much force it took to move a stack of books with and without the help of a wheel and axle.

Bake Sale Wednesday

Please remember our Bake Sale on Wednesday. If you have time, either store bought or homemade is fine.

Thank you!

Monday by Cassie and Scott

Betsy read The Three Pigs to us. It was funny and a little weird. Betsy’s math class did Mental Math and worked on DynaMath. In Spanish we worked on Spanish booklets. We had to fill in the blanks with the correct Spanish words. We read Science News and learned that lizards have interesting ways to escape from predators. Some can run across water and others shed their tales if a predator grabs them by the tail. We worked in groups to make words out of letters that were in a 3 x 3 box. The letters had to connect to each other. After Spanish we corrected sentences that were on the board then we got our portfolios for Conference Day. Now we are going to music.

Friday by Cassie and Sarah E.

During math we went to the music room and listened to the Middle School Rock Band Friday Group play. We read some more Cinderella books. We wrote stories and passed them around and each person in the group added to it, then we read them to the whole class. They were funny.  Betsy taught us a game called Alva where you have two sets of cards. One set has topics and one set has letters. You turn over one of each set and name something beginning with the letter that fits the topic. Whoever says it first gets the cards. During Buddytime with Tulie’s class we made Valentine cards for the Troops. We used candy canes to make hearts. Now we are going to Spanish.  

Thursday by Sarah E. and Cassie

Betsy’s math class worked on long multiplication. Kim’s math class got new folders. We went through old papers and put finished work in the new folders. Holly read to us and then we went to music. In music we learned about the base clef notes. In science we used spring scales to find out how much force it takes to pull objects up inclined planes. Now we are going to computer class.
