Doors decorators!

This is our door that we made for the door decorating contest.  We all drew door ideas. Then Ms.  Mathes picked one.   Our idea for the door came from VIivian and Kinley.  Ms.  Mathes picked it because a lot of kids drew hot chocolate pictures. The class voted in colors for the cup and the background. Then we split into groups. Some groups made the cups; some groups made the marshmallows; and some groups made the snowflakes. 

Ready for reading

To end our fluency study we read a picture book to the class with a partner. We read books that had a Lot of punctuation. Everyone did a great job changing their voice for punctuation and the mood of the characters.

Abc 17 News: Where the news comes first

Today we went to the KMIZ news station. First we all got into groups.  Once that was done we we went into different places. Some people went downstairs to the green room where we put on a green blanket that made us look invisible. The people upstairs in the control room could not see the parts of us covered with the green blanket. Then we rotated I went up stairs to the brain. The Controls room controls a lot of channels like METV, FOX, ABC, KMIZ. They told us about what they do.Then we learned about advertising and how they do news stories. 

Snowboarding marshmallows

On Friday we where working on the door decorations. We are doing marshmallows sliding in to a cup of hot chocolate. This is what we have made so far.

Science

Yesterday in science we talked about the food groups like grains, protein, fruits, dairy, and vegetables.  We learned that half of your plate should be fruits and vegetables. You need to eat from all of the food groups because each group gives you different nutrients your body needs.  

Ragweed

For read aloud we are reading Ragweed by Avi.

This is Ragweed. He is 4 months old. He wants an adventure so he leaves his country home to find one.

Ih

This is Silversides. She is going after Ragweed because she thinks that cats are first, people are second, and mice are third. Silversides made a club that spells F.E.A.R. They call it fear because felines stands for the F enraged stands for the E, about stands for the A, and rodents stands for the R.

This is Graybar.  He is a street cat.  He was the only cat that went to Silverside's club because he does not like mice.

This is Blinker. Blinker is a white mouse.  He was raised in a laboratory and then he went to a pet shop.  Then he got taken home by a girl.  One night he sneaks out.

Music Tuesday

Yesterday we went to a choir concert and heard some of the 5th graders singing Christmas carols.  They sang it to us because it was a practice and they are going to have a real performance on Thursday for the parents.  It will be in the cafeteria.  They sang songs like "Jingle Bells" and they sang songs that you do with your family and they sang silly songs and serious songs. 

Germy situation

On Tuesday we made up our own germs. We made them out of what our teacher gave us like pipe cleaners, paper, puffballs, and other things. Then we wrote facts about our germs. The facts were things like how do you get cured when the germ is  in your body.  People would write like you have to eat candy to get rid of the germ and you get the germ by eating healthy stuff.
