Week of October 26

Social Studies: We are almost done with the election.  We had a debate in Gathering on Friday.  We also showed our commercials to the school.  We have a good feeling that we are going to win.

Language Arts: Most people are reading chapters 8 and 9 in their books.  We also worked on our book reports.  We had to do a summary and our best paragraph writing.

Math: We did x 11s and x 12s.  Mrs. Price showed us a trick with 11s that is kind of fun!  We also did the stock market game and it was awesome.  

Writing: We are writing about "If I Were President."  We have to write 5 paragraphs from the outlines we made.  We are doing great.

Science: In science, we are working still on Chemistry.  We did some experiments and we went through the Scientific Method.  We mixed Borax, baking soda, and vinegar.  It only fizzed and didn't blow up like we thought it would.

Gathering: This week was our First Friday Gathering.  We said the pledge and sang the Star Spangled Banner and made a video to send to Mrs. Dumler's husband and the others in his troop in Afghanistan.  We also had a debate for our election coming up.  We went to special classes.  

Homework: For homework we've been working on our packet like usual.  Also, some people asked for extra homework pages so they worked on that too.

Brownie Points: We have 4 brownie points.  That means 8 more to go!

Halloween: We had a great Halloween parade and party.  We worked on fun pages that day that worked on math and other things.  Some of us also made a cool ghost picture with our feet.
