Week of September 10th

Our Weekly Wisdom for the week was "Make Today Ridiculously Amazing." We did!

Morning Meeting: We came up with a new secret handshake, in this case it was a foot shake.  We are working on good audience behavior and good eye contact when talking with others.  

Gathering: This week we talked about the Hunger Walk.  Please see the sign-up in today's Friday Folder.  It is going to be very fun this year and we hope you come.  We are having a food drive that starts on Monday.  Please donate non-perishable food.  We also sang the banana slug song for the first time.

Language Arts: Wordly Wise is a vocabulary packet that we have to finish by the end of the week.  We had a spelling test on it that was very fun.  We wrote summaries about a story we read.  We used sticky notes to help us write the summaries, to ask questions and think about vocabulary.  

Math: We divided into 2 groups for math this week.  Everyone worked on place value, comparing and ordering numbers, and the purple group worked on decimals.  We played Number Top-It for our math game.

French: We have been learning about transportation.  We played lots of fun games too.

Writing: We are still writing about the Case of the Missing Summer Vacation.  We learned about how to peer conference and we learned how to proofread.  Most people are still working on their rough drafts.  

Science: We did some awesome science experiments about States of Matter.  We learned everything is a state of matter that isn't in a vacuum.  

Social Studies: We learned about the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights and why people came over in the first place.

Fun activities: In art we made 3-D hands.  We are 1 away from earning a Brownie party.  Also, many people bought coupons with their million dollars.  We also got a new trampoline.  If you are working hard, you get to jump on it for 30 seconds.  You can do all sorts of things on it, but you have to hold onto the handrail.  It is fun.  


Here we are with our new trampoline!
