3Sp Compliment Checklist!

Featured Blogger: Sammie

3Sp is trying to get a reward by putting together 10 parts to a pumpkin.  Every time we get a compliment we get to add a part to the pumpkin.  We needed to get 10 compliments!  3Sp got all 10 compliments on 11/9/16 and got every part! 3Sp voted for a reward! The rewards to choose from were a movie or a games and crafts day. The movie got the most votes. 3Sp is still trying to chose a movie that we can watch. If we get a couple of movie ideas or if we only get one movie idea, Ms. Sprague will add some ideas or pick the only one that came in! 3Sp will watch the movie in December! We are so excited to watch a movie soon!  On November 14, 2016 3Sp made one movie suggestion and Ms. Sprague is looking for more! If 3Sp students are going to bring movies in it will have to come in soon enough for the movie.  3Sp is looking forward to the movie!  3Sp is waiting to find out which movie we will watch!  Kids in 3Sp are wondering what the movie will be!  we will be watching the movie on a half day!  3Sp is so so so excited to watch the movie!  Our class has one movie option but Ms. Sprague is looking for more!!  We can’t wait!!!!!!

This is 3Sp's pumpkin and compliment checklist.

Halloween Party!

Featured Blogger: Tessa

It was Halloween and everyone was excited for Halloween! Especially for our Halloween party!  So many people were talking about Halloween.  People were also excited because we were getting kindergarten buddies!!! Read Sophie’s blog to find out about kindergarten buddies! So many people had awesome costumes like greek gods and Mal and Evie from “Descendants.” After recess we were super excited because now we were going to have our HALLOWEEN  PARTY!!!  We came in the classroom and some of our parents came. Tess’s mother baked cupcakes and they were so good. And some parents brought in pumpkins. There was enough for everybody to decorate. Everybody had a lot of fun. Some people decorated theirs really funny like Abby put mustaches on every side of her pumpkin. It was really funny. Halfway into the party we had the cupcakes. It was so good.  The cupcakes were awesome. Every part of the cupcakes were GOOD!!! Everybody loved the cupcakes and we got three cupcakes each! There was also pretzels, carrots, and juice boxes. After all our parents left we got to do Halloween word searches and find the hidden picture sheets. There was two actually. One was with pigs and the other was a Halloween style. After that we had snack for the kids who wanted it, while the other kids who didn’t want snack worked on their activity sheets. And sadly that was the end of our Halloween party! I guess I’ll just have to wait until next year but over all think this was the best Halloween party ever!!!

The Government's Job

Featured Blogger: Sophie

In class we have been talking about what the 3 branches of government do and how to become president.

TO BECOME PRESIDENT

To become president you must be born here.(USA)  Also you must have lived here for 14 years.  You must be at least 35 years old and you can’t have committed a serious crime.

3 BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT

Legislative:

The Legislative makes the laws that could become real laws.  Congress is made of the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Executive:

The Executive branch is the branch with the president. The president can put a new law or a bill to action or veto it.  Veto means to disagree with the law that they want to become a real law.

Judicial:

This branch is the Supreme Court.  The Supreme Court has 9 judges.  The Supreme Court is one of the biggest courts.  The president picks the 9 judges

That is what we learned about the government!

Buddies

Featured Blogger: Sophie

Buddies are so fun and cute. You get to do activities with them. You get to help them.   It’s really fun and they’re your buddies for the whole year.  It’s so exciting. They are awesome and they can do so many things. They are very good buddies. They are good at crafts too. It’s really exciting when you get a buddy because they are a new friend and because it’s exciting.  It’s very fun because they keep your buddy a secret a whole part of your life. So as you can understand it is very exciting to find out your buddy who they have been keeping from you for a whole part of your life. You get to learn their name and their favorite color and you get to meet with them once a month!   

Plants in 3Sp

Featured Blogger: Alex

One month ago we planted plants and some did not grow (including my plant!!!!!).  And some grew huge like: Matthew Oliveira’s, Angel Morales-Rivers’, and Jessica Rothschild’s. They all are under the small heat lamp so I think the big heat lamp is too high or there is too much water under the big light.

Ms. Sprague’s mom has come in twice now. First, to plant them. Second, to check on them. Well what did we do?

So, the first time, we spread out newspapers, took pots, and put dirt in the pots and knocked the pots on the newspaper-covered-table to get the dirt to the right level. Then we planted lettuce, spinach, or micro greens.

The second time we answered a question. “How can we help our plants grow?”

We came up with a watering schedule:

Monday: Tess, Sophie B, Peter,Gavin

Tuesday: Jordin, Ella,  Abby, Braeden

Wednesday: Alex, Sammie, Angel, Matt

Thursday: Layla,  Kian, Haily, Jessica, Tessa

Friday: Jack, Landon, Sophie W, Will

Now, we will keep an eye out to see if all the plants grow.

Japanese Okaido

Featured Blogger: Layla

My whole class and some other class and grade went to the gym and went to see the Japanese drum players!  When the Japanese people came out everyone was very excited even me!  Then they introduced themselves after they taught us some Japanese.  Then they played the drums and it was the song to bring down the god of dragon.  One of the drummers said that they saw it and I saw it too but everyone else didn't.  Then they did a little show for us and at the end of the show they put in the drumming sounds and it was really funny.  After they told more stories and they put in some of the drumming too.  They also got out this weird person that comes out in Japan when there is an omatsuri.  Omatsuri is music and dance.  Almost at the end they let kids go up stage and everyone said that I should go up because I am Japanese and I have played it before.  So I raised my hand.  I got picked and the person asked if I was Japanese and I said yes!  When I went on stage I was a little scared but everybody in my class made me get ready and it was pretty easy because I just had to follow the person that was also from the band.  I forgot to tell you the name of the band.  The name is Okaido and they work in New York.  At the end they played one more song for us on the drum again but this time they made a really good song with the drums.  I was really happy when the Japanese drummers came, but when they were talking in Japanese and they were teaching us I was bored because I already knew Japanese.  I felt like it was the best day and best performance ever!

Me on stage playing the drums!

The Peace Flag Project

Featured Blogger: Haily

One day 3Sp and 2Cr came together and did a project about peace!  Our teachers partnered us up with 2Cr and then we got a circle paper which is either green or blue. Then we got either a green or blue regular sized paper and had to cut thick and thin strips of paper to make a peace sign on the circle. Then we either drew a picture or wrote about what peace means to us. After that we had to write our names in pencil then marker. After that we had to turn it in. When we were done had to read to our partner any of 2Cr’s books. At the end we had Friday Free Time together with 2Cr. It was a very fun day with 2Cr. I can’t wait to meet up with them sometime soon!

This is a picture of the peace flag and the peace symbols we made!
