Week of May 13th

Language Arts: In Language Arts we are reading books about the Oregon Trail.  We are still working on our plays too.

Math: Thursday was the last day of the Stock Market game.  The green group also had a math test.  Purple group is working on adding and subtracting fractions.  It was fun!

Writing: Our class is writing our young author's book.  One student is writing about a mustache and I am writing a scary story.  

Science: This week in science we are studying genetics.  We looked at how you get blue eyes or brown hair.  We made our own creatures and made Punnett squares.  

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.  

Performing Arts: We are working on a play for performing arts.  No more information though.  It is a secret!

French: So in French we are studying about the body.  So far we know les youx, les areilles, and les hez.  There is also le cheveux, les epaule, and le scas.
