Week of March 11

Math: This week the green group did long division.  Purple/orange group worked on fractions.  

Xtramath: During math we have been doing a program called xtramath.  Xtramath is like online flash cards but when you get one right it turns green and you get to do another one.  When you finish addition you move on to subtraction.  That is what xtramath is.  

Writing: So in writing we are summarizing in cursive.  We are also making stories in cursive.  Mainly we are writing paragraphs in cursive.  

Science: This week in science we worked on our agar and everybody thought it was very cool.  We put some of our agar on some slides and we put the agar under the microscope and some of the agar under the microscope was very, very gross to some people.  Also we have to throw away our fast food project because they were too moldy to be in an actual classroom where it could grow more and more mold.  The fast food Wendy's won out of Wendy's, Subway, McDonald's and Dairy Queen.  We did lots of cool science experiments this week and hope that we can do this again another time.  

Art: We did pixel art.  We also worked on the auction project.  

EMP Museum: On Tuesday, we went to the EMP Museum in Seattle.  The museum was literally right next to the Space Needle.  We looked at "The Art of Video Games" as well as other cool exhibits.  It was really fun.


π Day: On Thursday we have Pi Day because it was 3-14.  We had a pi worksheet for morning work, pi writing, discovered that pi is just circumference of a circle divided by the diameter, and even had pie at the end of the day!

PE: In PE we're doing awesome games and Ms. Nancy is making everything...EPIC!!!  Ms. Nancy has games with scooter boards and it's so fun.  Seabury is so cool!  Wow wow wow.  

French: French was boring as usual.  KIDDING!  It was great!  We practiced saying the numbers and animals in French.  She even gave us animal crackers!  Yay!

Gathering: This week in gathering the Superstars had a presentation about their pollution walk.  They found lots of trash and they thought of lots of solutions.  The DI teams were also given certificates for their great job at the regional competition.  

School Store: For school store, they were low in stock.  They had Dr. Seuss pencils and the sparkle twister mechanical pencils.  They also had tootsie pops and stretchy aliens and things like that.  They said they had domos, but by the time I got there, they were sold out.  Somebody took like all of them and there weren't any for some other somebodies who really wanted some domos and didn't get any.  Other than that little incident school store was fine.
