the week of the 31st


Mrs. Graf reading to us

Monday: Mrs.Graf read OWNY THE MAIL POUCH POOCH to us. It was about a dog that helped the US Postal Service over the years. The dog will be visiting another school after each classroom has heard his story. We also watched a movie called Justin Morgan Had a Horse and there is a literature circle group reading this book.

Tuesday: We started making our VT Economy books and our group is working well gathering pictures and facts for our book. We look forward to sharing the book with our class! In Spanish today, we had a test about what to call grown-ups and your friends.

Wednesday: In math we had an assessment that everyone seemed to do well on! We look forward to starting fractions. We got our book orders! Some of us got many books! I can't wait to read mine! In music we learned a new song on the recorder called Chinese Song. We also have composition, which is very fun! We get to make our own songs using a program on the lap tops.

Thursday: We had a 1/2 day today! We walked to the post office to mail out our letters to our state representatives. We look forward to hearing back from them! At the end of the day, we did a science investigation that was very fun! We wanted to find out what the temperature was for an ice cube as it melts.

Having fun infront of the post office!

Friday: Today we had another 1/2 day! (conferences) We met with our literature circles and discussed what was happening in our books. We have learned many new words! My group is reading Cave of Falling Waters. It is about an Indian girl who is trying to survive a time period where illness is usually fatal. At the end of the day we discussed what we had learned about our science investigation and put our data into a line graph. We had fun doing Brain Builders at the end of the day!

Our groups work well discussing!

Hope you had fun reading our Blog!
