Week of October 1st

Reading: Lately our class has been assigned a type of book.  First a mystery, next an adventure.  When we were supposed to turn in our book, we do a report and a presentation.  Super fun!!!

Math: The math we are doing is really fun.  3rd graders are doing rounding of whole numbers and adding and subtracting them and the 4th graders are doing decimals and answering questions from their math book and the Smart Board.  The 3rd graders like what they are doing.  I am not sure if the 4th graders like what they are doing because I am not one yet.  

Stock Market Game: We just started but we are doing great!  We are all really excited.  There are 11 teams in the area and one of our teams is in 1st place right now.

Writing: Most of us are already done with "The Case of the Missing Summer Vacation" and are publishing!  I mean, it's only been a few days and we're already at publishing!!!

Social Studies: This week for Social Studies we have been working on what Obama and Romney are going to do for Health Care, Energy, Equal Rights, and all that kind of stuff.  Also we watched the debate of Obama and Romney which was very cool for the Creators!

Science: This week we watched a few videos and we drew atoms.  We are in the middle of making the Periodic Table.  

Art: We are working on op art.  We made pop out hands, an opposite stripe page, where you trace objects and then draw stripes and make the objects opposite.  We also did a free style picture where we have to make everything pop out.  To look at the pictures you can come look in the Creators classroom.  

Brownie Points: This week in our class we had a ... BROWNIE PARTY!  We loved the brownies with caramel and chocolate...mmm!

First Friday: The first Friday of every month is very fun.  On the first Thursday of the school year, we chose three things we wanted to do.  We could chose from, for example: drama, cooking, art, French games, library, or chess.  All sorts of stuff!  Then on the first Friday of every month we get to after Gathering, go outside to recess and snack, and then we go to the class we wanted to go to first on our list.  These classes aren't regular classes.  We don't get to go to cooking class on regular days.  In Art we get to do extra cool crafts that we don't usually get to do and other fun stuff!  The first Friday of every month is super fun!
