Highlights of the week for Oliver


This week we looked at Google Earth and made our own symbol to show where our classroom is.  This week our homework is to map our bedroom and/or another room.  I decided to map out our living room. 



And these are the jobs we learned about last week.  And my group was the farmers.


This is a display of our work in the hallway.

 This is me sharing my artifact which is a bunch of tiny Seahawks mini-figures.

Highlights of the week for Julia

This week we started a new kind of homework.  Now when we finish reading a book, we write down what we like or dislike about it.  This is the wall of our homework so everybody can look at it.



We learned to be a good community member.  We had different performances and my group was a farmer.  We were learning about different jobs in a community - a lot of our parents have jobs too.
I liked to perform for the class and I liked other groups performances too.


I liked this group.  They are clothes makers.  The did something different than a lot of groups.


This group didn't have time to practice but I think they did a great job.

This group was a cook.  I liked their dances.


They were workers.  I liked Luke's dance; I liked it because it kind of looked like he was building something 'cause he was stomping around.








In this picture, we are revision friends and a revision friend is someone who helps you work on your writing.





This is the whole worker group.

Highlights of the week for Atticus



I liked to look for the worms and the worm eggs but no one found worm eggs.  But everyone found a lot of worms and some were pregnant. 


It was fun to jump into the leaves but we had to rake them up first.  I really like to rake and I got a lot of leaves in the pile.  It was about 1 1/2 feet tall. 

I liked these plants because the one on the very right tasted sort of soury and sweet like a sour patch.  I have a gazillion of them that my sister loves.  The one in the back that has the orange and yellow flowers.  When the flowers dry up, the seeds come out of them and they can plant another bush.

I found a pregnant worm and it tried to get off my hand and it ended upside down in the hay and straw.  It crawled back out and I caught it again the picture above is when I caught it a second time.


I sat with Hiram behind this plant that has really really big leaves. And the tree in the background is really big and cool.

I really liked the Tilth garden because I've been there before and the carrots are really really good.  And the reading celebration was really fun 'cause I got to share my favorite book and we got to share it.  My other highlights of the year were the allergy assembly and PE, recess, art, and library.

Highlights of last week for Matthew






My highlights of the week were the rainy day recess because I played Battleship with Theo and sunk one of his ships and he sunk one of mine.  I liked PE because we got to play real hockey games.  We had the sticks and puck; both team scored once. 


My group worked on the high energy level and low pleasantness level.  We came up with ecstatic and angry.

Highlights of the week for Kina




My highlights of the week were PE because we practiced hockey.  Another highlight is art because we used oil pastel.  It got messy but I liked it.  In library, we read my favorite book.  I also liked making Oliver's card because it was fun.  I liked rainy day recess in the classroom.  We got to color with crayons.  And I also liked rainy because in English we got to play Twister.

Highlights of the week for Jules


I liked looking between the two pictures and seeing the difference.  I am really good at it because I have magazines that have the same game.  
 

My highlights of the year are the allergy assembly and learning in my classroom.  I love the motions for Eagle Watch, Chunky Monkey, Stretchy Snake, Owl Eyes, and Skippy Frog.  I think everyone is a decoding dolphin.  The highlights of the week have been  PE, Art and library.  I like art because we get to paint and draw. I like PE because we get to exercise.  And I like library because I get to pick out a good book.

Highlights of the week for Sebastian


 I really liked my reading group because we got a really good book.  Um, we got a book about a mummy mystery.  I really liked the people in my group because we are smart.


The pajama party was really fun.  And I really liked the stuffies that people brought.  OK.  And, I really liked the movies that we watched; it was really funny.  Ms. Nelson's Field Day and Ms. Nelson comes back.  

 In Keiko Sensei's class, we brought our stuffies outside.  I played a game where people were chasing us around and we were attacking them with our stuffies.  It was a tie at the game.
