This is the blog. Read it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Language Arts: For Language Arts we are kind of rushing since we get out of school in 9 1/2 days. It is a great challenge to see who can finish the book in a matter of 9 1/2 days. Some of the kids are almost there.
Math: This week in math we measured things and did scale drawings. We also found perimeter and area of a classroom.
Writing: We are continuing to work on the picture books. Mrs. Price said we are going to type it up on Tuesday. I can't wait. I wonder when we are going to start drawing the pictures. That will be fun!
Science: In Science we are learning about DNA. We made one out of pipe cleaners and beads. We also had to draw a mom and dad. We had to chose eye color, hair color, cleft chin, widow's peak, etc. We can make it up or use real parents. That's what we are doing in Science.
Social Studies: We left on a westward trail this week. Some of us are going to Oregon and others are headed to California on 2 different trails. We had to figure out all of our supplies. Mrs. Price has cards that will tell us how the trip is going and we will have to make decisions about what to do. Some of us might have trouble with our wagon or get attacked or even lose people in our party. We have to keep a journal about our adventures.
PE: We had our last PE with Ms. Nancy. We will have the rest with a substitute. Ms. Nancy will be here for field day.
French: So right now we are still learning the body parts. We are transitioning to animals.
Music: This week in music the class did acting out small plays. My group did a zombie apocalypse. It was funny.

Social Studies: In SS this week we are studying the Oregon Trail. We are in groups to gather supplies to go on the Oregon Trail. We made up a group name and fake names for ourselves. We have to decide which trail we're going on and everything else. That's what the Creators are doing in SS.
Recess: At recess 4 square is in the house!! Lots of people are playing it! Also people like chalk and hopscotch. At lunch we're doing a lot of eating and talking. Also we're listening to Frindle on audio. YUM!
Grandparents and Special Friends Day: For Grandparents and Special Friends Day, our grandparents (and others) came to school. We made a Venn Diagram, did an art project with them, played a math game with them, showed them our stained glass, and had cake. We also went to the book fair with them and gave them magnets with pictures of us. It was a grand-party! It was really fun!
Book Fair: The book fair is epic!!!! They have lots of cool books, chapter books and picture books. Check it out!!!!
PE: We made hopscotch. It was fun. We also played bonball. It is a lot like baseball.

What you are reading right now is the blog. I mean duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Language Arts: In Language Arts we are reading about and studying pioneers! We write a play about the chapter after we read it.
Math: This week for math we did (GASP) MATH. But...it was really easy. We did reflection, rotation, and translation in the green group. The purple group is adding and subtracting fractions.
Writing: Our writing has changed! A lot of people are making "story maps" to lay out our stories for our books. Mine in particular is about a bunny who wants to be a rock star.
Social Studies: In social studies we're studying the Oregon Trail. The Creators partnered up and did math by adding how much stuff they should bring on the wagon. We also watched some videos from Lewis and Clark. We watched some from the Native Americans' point of view and Lewis and Clark's. That's what we're doing for social studies.
Science: In science, we made punnet squares because we are studying genetics. We made paper pets and used punnet squares to make their offspring. It was cool.
Computer: The last 2 weeks we have been working on a Cape Disappointment PowerPoint. Making the PowerPoint was fun! I liked adding animation. It was fun!
More on Computer: IXL is over. I am sad. We got a lot better at math. I can do 13x12 now!
Art: We are making a super secret project for Mother's Day. Find out more on Sunday!
Artist in Residence: In art we are working with stained glass. We are making a glass table and stained glass mosaics in frames.
Library: At library the class went after French because we were going to the play on our regular day. The librarian brought 2 dogs. They were cute and happy and small.
Brownie Points: We are so, so close to getting a brownie party. We just need 2 more. We already have 10 so we need and I mean, NEED to get 2!
MS Play: On Thursday, the lower school students went to a play at the middle school called "Smote." It was a catch on King Arthur. They named it "Smote" because the author used it so much in the book. Everybody there laughed and clapped so hard. It was a great play.
