Highlights of the week for Django

We made a text feature chart.    We learned about maps, pictures, diagrams, bold print, sub headings, charts, etc.

My highlights of the week was PE and library.  In library I found some new books.  There were a lot of Pokemon books.  I couldn't check them out because I had 3 books check out already...for about 3 months!  I like Pokemon.  We just started playing flag football in PE; it's really fun because some of the other people don't know how to throw a football so it is fun to help.

Highlights of the week for Hiram

This is Kina and me holding the eggs

This is me and Kai making the sign

We are holding up the signs we made

Ms. Kathleen was demonstrating what it was like in the old days about segregation

We are walking in our Peace March

I liked the Peace March because it was fun and I had a good time holding the sign.  The ruler to our sign fell off I was the drummer.  I was drumming on the sign.    I liked making the sign with Kai.  We had a sign that said "We have a dream that people used words, not weapons".    I liked learning about the differences between the two eggs - we looked 2 eggs and noticed the differences between the two.  One was brown and the other was white but the insides were the same.  The eggs were representing people. 

Highlights of the week for Isabel

My highlight was when we went to the Shrinking Bigfoot Assembly.  I liked how they talked about electricity.  I learned that if you keep the lights on too long, then it is wasting electricity.  We want to save electricity so we can share with the earth.  I learned burning fossil fuels creates carbon dioxide which is bad for everyone.  It can break through the forcefield around the earth.  And it makes the sun too hot for the earth.This is called global warming.

I also learned sisters fight a lot.  I learned it from the example in the assembly.  'Cause Brittany leaves stuff on a lot.  Ashley's like, "Hey, you left the refrigerator on". 

Lauren's Explorations

Hi Class!

During the break I went to Utah to visit my cousins.

We went to see this tree of light.  It was very bright!

It snowed a lot while we were there. And there was so much snow that we could make a snowman at my Grandma's house!

And we went sledding.  It was lots of fun!

And we went to see the Nutcracker dance. In one part there was a big boom where a person appeared and there was a cannon that was even louder!

The gingerbread house was really big and had two floors.  It looked like someone had gone in the gingerbread house.

We ate at a Japanese restaurant and they cooked right in front of us! There was a big fire!

I can't wait to see everyone in class again!

Highlights of the week for Elsa

I really liked the Dick Whittington show.  I liked the cat and I also like the pirates.  The cat was cute and I just like pirates.  I liked writing; I am almost finished with my story.  I feel good about the process.  First, you write a draft.  Second, you revise by yourself.  Third, you revise with a friend.  Fourth, you edit by yourself.  Fifth, you edit with a friend.  And then copy.  I enjoyed copying the most.  I also liked PE and Art.

I went to visit Santa this week.  I told him what I wanted and then he gave me a mini candy cane.  I got to wear pretty dresses.  Mine was purple.  And that's all.

Highlights of the week for Cannon

At Monday's assembly, our class presented questions about what we will learn in the next few months.

1. How can we make our planet better?
2.  How are we all taking action?
3.  What is global warming?
4.  What are the school communities in Arizona and Mexico?
5.  What is an environment?
6.  How do our needs and wants impact the environment?

My highlights of the week are the dramashop and art.  I enjoyed pretending to be a rat in the dramashop. The dramashop was about Dick Whittington.  I liked art because we got to make a city and finished it. 

Highlights of the week for Luke

We made tons of building in art.  It is called City by Design.  We crafted tons of buildings.  We made a model city or town.  I made a department store. 

I liked Hugh and Caleb's waterslide.  I liked the diving board and the public swimming pool that Jules made.  And the diving board makes you hit the roof.  By hit the roof, I mean the diving board was so close to the roof that you landed on the roof.

To prepare for the assembly we are hosting next week, we made a sign that said "What is Global Warming?"  We were going to do a presentation about environment and what can we do to make our world better and more.  And we will learn how to do this in the next few months.  We will learn about his with Ms. Bixman's class and Ms. Vandermeulen's class and a class from Mexico and a class from Arizona.
