Week Of May Third

Monday- We had concert practice for Tuesday's concert. It was hard to get back to our normal schedule! We have had a week off for April break. In Elf we went to a local river (Brown's river) to examine what organisms live there. We found cray-fish, insects and snails. We'll be uploading pictures of what we found on Monday. We also watched a webcast from Scholastic. We watched 5 authors like Gordon Korman compete head to head on their knowledge of kid's books. The winner chose one class (who registered) to give books to. I thought it was pretty cool to see how they were competing. The questions were interesting!

Tuesday- We had our concert. We sang and played recorder songs and the gym was full! We didn't have art because the concert took longer than we were expecting. In Spanish, we learned more about a different language and played a game called "Swat". We also took a test. In math we played a game that taught us more about decimals and fractions. We skimmed and scanned for fractions and decimals in Math To Know and the Burlington Free Press.

Wednesday- We had music and sang songs and played games like stop and drop. We also picked a slide show for different topics and technology. In math we played a decimal game that was like War. It helped everybody understand decimals. In composition, we made songs to go with Hot Cross Buns.

Thursday- We planned what kids are going to show at the technology presentation next week. Like making movies, Google Earth and how we use the Flip camera. Wyatt and Lukas made a movie that they showed us for a book response. We also had a reader's theater group present. Lindsay and Kathleen presented the book The Perfect Pet. We also have an incubator with 24 chicken eggs inside. We are going to raise them until they hatch and then we'll be giving them to a farm. When we candled the eggs, most of them were stuck to one side. Mrs. Randall said that this is the first time she has ever seen this. We hope for the best! We are going to be Skyping Madeleine Kunin next Tuesday morning so Eleanor can ask further questions for her wax museum figure.

Friday- In guidance we played a game with crates that involved a lot of team work. We are getting our pictures taken this afternoon! Eleanor and I will be Skyping our K-Buddies this afternoon to talk about what they've been working on this week. Clara gave a book talk today. The message of her book was to never give up and the main character travels a lot. If you're looking for a good book, check out our class wiki!
