Miss Missouri

Yesterday Miss Missouri, Shelby Ringdahl, came and talked to us about how we wanted to be remembered. She also told us how she became Miss Missouri. She told us she wanted to be remembered as kind.  She told us about her self and sang her favorite song for us too.

Summer of the monkeys

Yesterday we finished Summer of the Monkeys.  Jay Berry finally caught the monkeys. He used his reward money to get his sister, Daisy's, leg fixed.  Then got the pony and the 22 he wanted. We learned that you have to put others before yourself and that you have to work hard to get what you want.

Super Subs

Yesterday we had a sub. The sub was Mrs. Cameron :). She was really nice to us. For read aloud we read a book called Shelter Dogs. The dog we read about was a dog named, Kirby. Kirby is a caren terroir. Kerbys owner died and he was left with no food for 6 days. When the social workers searched the house they found Kirby.   Kirby bit two social workers so they took him to the humane society.  They called  a woman that had a talent of calming the most ferosious dogs, but nothing worked. The last day they had to put him to sleep, but the word walk saved his life because he was not getting attention.  All of a sudden he turned into a sweet dog That is the story of Kirby.

Amazing Ads

We are working on ads for our Farmers Market booths. Ads are things that people used to make people want to buy/use their good/service. There are different types of ads. The bandwagon, the snob appeal  and the celebrity appeal. There's also the good points. We will share them with our customers (other classes) when they are done. 

New Pictures

Last week we got new class pictures  for the blog. They are new and this time EVERYONE (Paige) is in the picture. We also got to do a silly picture. There are still people that are going to go to a different school next year though:(.

Summer Buffy

Buffy, our class pet, is shedding a lot. His winter fur is falling out and he is growing in shorter, darker summer fur.  He has a big black fur spot on his back.   It kind of looks like someone shaved him. We are going to have to brush him until he is done shedding.  

Cool Poetry

We are doing poetry. We need at least 10 poems about a topic. Some people even have 20 poems! Some poetry strategies include, metaphors, personification, and similes. Some kinds of poems are shape and haikus.

IPad Madness

Yesterday we started to use the IPads. We are going to keep them for a week.  And we are going to do activities with the IPads. We have talked about our weekend on Today's Meet and we played a word ladder game. We can also do fun but educational apps on them.

Teachers rule

This week is teacher appreciation week! This is a special week for teachers because we appreciate the things they do to help us learn they are careing and loving so let's say thank you to them for all they do. This is the door Sophia's sister drew for Ms. Mathes.

There are about 5 booths.  Some are doing a garage sale, mini bowling, puff and paint, hair spray, and mystery box.  This all happens on the 30th of May. So come on down to your local farmers market ( only for the 3rd grade and Mrs. Bower's class)

Monkey Madness

We are reading Summer of the Monkeys and the main character is Jay Berry. In the book he spots a monkey and the monkey is a monkey that escaped from a circus train. 30 escaped. The monkey Jay Berry wants to catch is a chimpanzee the grandpa says has a $100 reward. That is the jasper Jay Berry wants to catch, but the monkey is smarter than he thinks it is.  Will he win it or will he fail?
