Highlights of the week from Felix

This week we watched a movie about the Mayans and we took notes on it.  In the picture, it is a jaguar in the underworld.  We know this because the jaguar is not well fed and the dot in the belly marks that it is sick.  I learned from the movie that the Mayans of the south left because of drought. They thought they were going to come back but they didn't.  The archaeologists thought they didn't come back because there was political tension among the leaders and they couldn't organize a return.

Then we started a new unit on writing - realistic fiction and small moments.  Next week, we are not going to have school.  I'm going to Los Angeles for Thanksgiving and I am going to have roast beef for lunch on Thursday.  My grampa is getting really excited about it.  And, hi.

The PTA said that they would contact us about the $1,000 for typing in January.

Highlights of the week from Charlie

On Wednesday, we went to Zoka's and we all got hot chocolate or an Izze.  And the green group got to present to the PTA and they said they were persuaded but they need to get approval from the PTA board.  Also at Zoka's, we got to share the persuasive letters we've been working on.  On Thursday in art, we are making paper mache jaguars with jugs.

Highlights of the week for Matthew

My highlights of the week were unicycling in gym, the Veteran's Day Assembly, and finishing our stakeholder persuasive letters.  My group did the PTA.  I am excited for Monday because we have no school.

The blue group presented their letter to Mr. Mike.  They asked for permission to use the internet. I think they did a good job and they worked really hard.  I hope the PTA will donate $1,000 for us for Type to Learn.

This week we finished our reading unit and we are going to Zoka's on Wednesday.  I can't wait.  I'm going to probably order hot chocolate or cider.

Josiah's Highlights of the Week

One of the things I'm really excited about is I've got Parkour - sort of like gymnastics so it is lots of running and jumping but you usually do it outside. Also, I'm excited because tonight is family fun night.  The Brumbaughs come over and we get to watch a movie and play Xbox.

I'm also excited because we are doing cursive.  I think "q" is harder than the "g".  I hope that our group persuasive letter to Mr. Golosman will persuade him to let us have a typing program at school.  One of the choice book I'm reading is Diary of a Wimpy Kid.  I like it.  I can't wait until gym.
