Number the stars

In NUMBER THE STARS so far we have been getting to know more about Ellen's family. And we figured out that there is no Great Aunt Birte, but they still had a funeral. In the casket was a bunch of clothes for the Jewish people because they were going to sneak out with Peter. Peter gave the baby medicen to keep the baby from crying because they were sneaking out. We predict that Annmerarie might miss Ellen when she goes to sneak out.

Pulley simple machines!!!

We made pulleys today in science. The materials are made like Legos. This experience is very cool because Ms. Stemmons and Mr. Villasana came in especially for us. This is what the pulley looks like!! By Makenna, Rachel, Mailei :)

Everyone has a different design . It looks like tie die too.

Book clubs

A few weeks ago we started to read new books in our book clubs. Some books are A Week in the Woods, The Kid Who Ran for President, The Playful Puppy,My Brother Made Me Do It, and Wringer, Every day at reading time a group goes on on the floor to do a meeting and in the meeting we talk with Mrs.Mathes and we tell what happened in the book and at the end of the meeting we say how much pages/chapters we want to read. The other days we read on our own and wright our thoughts on Schoology. By Asher & Henry

Rectangles and squares

We are made rectangles and put them on paper. But before we did that we made them on graph paper according to certain rules. Then we measured and made the perimeter of the rectangle out of strips of colored paper.

Number the stars

In Number the Stars  Annmarie and her mom are hiding Ellen because she is Jewish. Peter is hiding Ellen's parents. Right now Annmarie and her mom are at their uncle's house. They think it's more safe for Ellen because there are a lot of Nazi's in Cooenhagen. The next chapter title is called "There Will Be A Death". We predict that the death will be uncle Henrik because he is hiding Ellen. We are really enjoying the book.

Aging booth

In class yesterday we played (well not necessarily played) aging booth because it as the 100th day of school. In aging booth you take a picture of yourself and it takes you sometime like 2047. We learned that when you take a picture of yourself and make yourself look old, it isn't pretty.
