Book Fair - Hayyah

I am so excited about the book fair. I am going

to get a lot of books. It is on October 14th and it 

is on the way. I can't wait. There are going to be

things like video game control erasers, diaries ,

pens, bookmark, etc. I am sure if 

you love books or cool things you will love the 

book fair as well for sure! I hope I will see a lot of

people there. I can't wait to see you there!

Tests-Ietta

I just had 2 practice performance tasks ( tests in math ) today.  Tomorrow we have a writing test ,but I am not worried about it.  In October we have benchmarks which take so long to finish.  I hope it goes a lot better  than I think it will.

  You get 90 minutes on the benchmark and ONLY 1 BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

  The writing test that's tomorrow is 2 hours and 1 BREAK AGAIN, but I am looking forward to that because I like to write.  I write a lot of poems!

  Practice performance tasks aren't that bad.  They can take three days to finish or like the ones we did today were only  5 minutes each.

  I hope we have no more tests today!

My School Playground-Danaya

My school playground is so so so so FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have 2 humongous fields for football and soccer.   We also have 3 playgrounds and 2 sets of swings. We have 11 slides,and also a rock climbing wall and things we can climb and shake each other. On our biggest playground we have monkey bars and a lot more i can't even think of. That is how wonderful my school playground is.

HALLOWEEN -Cassius T.

  Halloween is coming up people!!!!  Halloween is my favorite  holiday ever.  Just imagine a day when you get to be someone different and scare the guts out of kids.  Plus you get a junk load of candy for FREE.

  This all started about 2,000 years ago in Europe when people thought that on October 31, evil spirits would roam the towns.

   Later in time people believed that an evil god would harm people if you did not give food and sweets.

That is how trick-or-treating came.

 

 

 

 

Anaiya - Book Fair

 Book fair is October 14-18. They have diaries, eraser phones, bookmarks, pencils and a lot of stuff I can't all name! Book fairs have lots of different books, such as chapter books, picture books, 3D books, and joke books. There are a lot of things you can get at a book fair. I usually look at the chapter books when I come into the book fair. Your class will usually go to the book fair to look at some of the things that are there before you buy it. 

Remi - What I did over the summer ;]

Ada - Our trip to Sandy Creek

       When we went to Sandy Creek we were very exited because we got to go one hikes and learn all about microorganisms. We got to learn about were you could find signs of microorganisms one of the places you could find a sign of microorganisms is on a rotting log. Also we got to look though microscopes and see if the water they gave us had anything in the water. And we got to test if you could swim in the water there. We had a great time and I wish we could do it again. :)

Hayyah - Sandy Creek Field Trip

On Tuesday we went on a field trip to Sandy 

Nature Center. It was fun because we went

hiking and saw so any cool things. When we 

saw a Granddaddy

Long Leg spider the tour guide

picked it up and let us hold it but, they don't

 people. After we went inside and looked

through microscopes and looked at fungi and 

we even saw a cockroach  up close.

It looked nasty I almost jumped out of mu seat. 

I bet you would jump out your seat to unless

you love bugs anyway I had a great time.

I also want to thank the bus driver and the

teachers for taking us on this field trip. 

I almost forgot thank you Sandy Creek Nature

Center. It was an amazing trip!

Fun Field Trip To Sandy Creek Nature Center - Ietta

 The field trip was really fun!   It was at the Sandy Creek Nature Center and we learned about microorganisms.   We looked through microscopes and went on a hike.  The people that were guiding us were pointing out places were microorganisms were.  It was really fun and I wish to do it again.

Danaya-Sandy Creek

I have some very very cool news, I went on a field trip to Sandy Creek Nature center!!!! 

    I saw many kinds of insects and I saw a granddaddy long legs and it jumped on me and I got very scared.  Next when group 2 went inside    we saw different  kinds of bacteria and we also saw a cockroach through and it scared me a little because I am terrified  of cockroaches.

But I really enjoyed it.

ANAIYA'S E.L.T. PROJECT

For my E.L.T project I'm doing a project on making a new country. The country's name is Emosewa which is awesome backwards.

We decided that the ruler will be a king and queen. I wanted to have babies for an army with candy and sippy cups for weapons.

Our country will be in the middle of the ocean. I also wanted our country to be under the ocean or in the air but we have to have a realistic country.

We are also still researching different government. The way we are going to build the country 3 D which is going to be cool. 

 

Cassius--Social Studies Research Project

    In social studies  we are studying the Civil War.  Now we need to write an informational text about a Civil War figure.

   To prevent everyone wanting the same person  we had to close our eyes and pick from a plastic bag.  If you didn't want the person you got you had one minute to trade with people.

    I got the best I could but I still really don't like the person I got.  His name is Robert E. Lee.  One reason I don't like him is because he made some bad choices like joining the Confederate Army.  He also turned down being the lead of the Union Army.

   The writing assignment is really stressful and kinda boring.  Especially with the person I'm studying.  :(

Ada- Author visit

Have you ever met a famous author? Well when the 5th and 4th graders got to meet one we were all very excited. Her name was Gennifer Choldenko. She told us all about her amazing books and how she got the ideas for them. She also told us stories about Alcatraz and the prisoners that lived on Alcatraz. And she told us how she got the information about Alcatraz. We learned lots of things like Machine Gun Kelly's real name was George and his wife made him do those bad things. It was so fun learning about her and how she got ideas for books and I wish she could come again.

Ietta - Our 3rd,4th,and 5th grade Musical

  I am so excited the musical!  I don't know who I would like to audition for.  My favorite part of the musical is SINGING.  This year the songs and script is are TOO, happy.  Most of my friends are really excited as much as I am.  The musical is called Happy the High Tech Snowman.

 It's pretty basic , kids make snowman.  Then, the snowman some how (impossibly) comes to life.  Happy, (the snowman) wants to learn about technology.  The kids teach him about technology and one of the kids makes a video of Happy and puts the video on the internet.  Scientists and Reporters wanted to put Happy in a freezer.  The kids knew the reporters and scientists were coming ,so they did a snowman flash mob so the reporters and scientists did know which one was Happy.You know the same old thing there was a happy ending.

 We have been practicing the songs and even though the play is so silly I still want to do it.

Remington--parent breakfast

Two weeks  ago was  Parent Breakfast .

It was okay  but it was short .

Most of the 5th grade parents were there.

It was almost an hour .

They came to spend time with us.

All grades have the Parent Breakfast, but

that was the last for us.

 

Anaiya-Author Visit

An author came to visit us to Chase Street School! It was so cool to listen to what she had to say about her book. One of my questions I had for her was have she ever been to Alcatraz island. She has other books named Al Capone Does my Homework and Al Capone Shines my Shoes. I saw some very cool pictures and heard some very interesting stories.The author's name is Gennifer Choldenko and I thought she was very nice and sweet and I'm very happy that she wrote those stories!:)

Circus Smirkus camp by:Cassius T.

         Circus Smirkus camp is a sleep away circus

camp in Vermont. I think they have recently bought a permanent place to set up the dormitories.They teach juggling acrobatics aerials etc. Usually they rent a boarding school

so they can have the dorms. The boarding school I stayed at was in the mountains and the view was amazing. In the distance there were wind turbines and ski lifts.  Vermont is really cool looking.  ;D
