Halloween Parade

Today we shared our Air Users.  We learned about synonyms.  Synonyms are two words that mean the same thing.  Mr. Johnson admitted he was wearing a wig.  We did our Halloween parade.  We went to the Care Center and downtown.

Today we finished building our air users.  We will share them with the class tomorrow.  We wrote a story together.  We can bring our costumes to school tomorrow for our parade.

In Science we worked on building our Air Users.  They have to use air to move, float, or glide.  Some of us are making parachutes.  Some of us are making planes.  Tomorrow is Cowboy Day for Red Ribbon Week.

In Math we had a review page.  It reviewed tens and ones.  On Friday we need to bring our Halloween costumes.  Tomorrow we should wear red for Red Ribbon Week.  Miss Kenyon read us a book called Michael Recycle and taught us about cause and effect.

Monday

We learned about drugs today.  We should not take drugs.  At the assembly today, we watched a dog look for drugs.  When Mr. Wulf walked in, he barked at Mr. Wulf.  It was funny. 

This week is Red Ribbon Week and we need to remember:

Monday (Today) - We brought our stuffed animals.
Tuesday - Wear our Red Braclets
Wednesday - Dress like a Cowboy/Cowgirl
Thursday - Wear a Red Shirt
Friday - Crazy Hair Day

Numbers and Books

We learned about numbers and number words.  An example of a number is 100.  An example of a number word is one-hundred.  We read Dalton's Student of the Week book.  Today we played the Corner Game in Music.

Funny Things

We learned about nouns today and we listened to a noun song.  Nouns are people, places, or things. Mr. Johnson was a sheriff in our Math game.  He could take tens or ones or hundreds away if we had more than 10.  We had computer lab today.  We brought home notes about Red Ribbon Week.

What We Learned About

We made balloon rockets in Science.  They went really fast and the air came out of them.  The air pushed the bag to the other chair.  In Guidance we wrote words about how we cooperated with other people.

Our News for Today

Today, we all wrote in our weather journal and our learning logs.  We also read a book and finished our tests.  We made propellers with straws and tape.  Mr. Johnson took a hair dryer and blew our propellers into the air.  Also, Dalton is the student of the week.

Grandparent's Day

We read to our Grandparents.  We also played Math games.  Grandparents helped us do spelling words.  My grandma said to write that grandparents don't know how to do iPads.  It was a really fun day!

Our News for Today

We did a test in Math.  It was a subtraction test.  We practiced reading our books for the people in the Care Center.  We will go there tomorrow.  We got our identification cards.

Today we learned about fire safety from the fire fighters.  They said to make sure you have a meeting spot to go to if there is a fire.  Don't get your stuffed animals or your games, just get out of the house.  The hot air balloons will be here on Friday.  We read at the Care Center on Friday, and it's Grandparent's Day!

By Rachael

Today we made grandparent surprises.  We will give them to our grandparents on Friday.  In Math we had to find the missing part of a subtraction sentence.  We designed our own hot air balloons.

Fun in Science

In Science we made three parachutes in our table groups.  We went outside to test them out.  They flew away so we had to catch them.

By Gabriel

Parachutes!

We learned about parachutes today.  We tried different kinds.  We used paper towels, napkins, and tissue paper with strings and paperclips as the people.  We dropped them to see if they worked well.  It was fun.

The Blogging News

We made lists of what we learned about air, and questions we still have about air.  Mr. Trenhaille was playing the drums outside with the band.  We are going to the Care Center next week to read to people.

Today's School News

We learned about bubbles.  They were big bubbles.  There was air on the inside of the bubbles, and soap and water on the outside.  In Guidance we made funny plays.  They made us laugh.  We did MAP tests today.  It was our last one!

Wayne State College Clinical Students

We'll have some new faces in our classroom for the next couple months.  Two Wayne State College education majors, Miss Kenyon and Mr. Johansen, will be spending some time with us.  They are taking part in a "clinical experience" in which they observe the classroom, teach a couple lessons, and then plan and teach an entire week by themselves (with the regular teacher in the room).  I always enjoy having these students join us as it allows me to see how our classroom interacts with other teachers.  We are excited to have them here!
