Review Publishing Party

Featured Blogger: Angel

We always have publishing parties at the end of each writing unit.  We had a publishing party because we were reading our own opinion piece.  It was a fun publishing party.  We also had popcorn.  It was also fun because it was interesting to hear  people’s opinion pieces about a video game or book.  I hope you think this is interesting!

Class Restaurant!

Featured Blogger: Layla

Hello my name is Layla and I am going to tell you what we are doing in math.  We are doing a Restaurant project!  We also get to pick our own names for the restaurant with our partners.  Then we get to draw a sketch of how the restaurant looks on the inside.  We have to do math problems to count the squares because we used graph paper.  We had to count the kitchen and the dining space.  The last step we had to do to get onto the menu is to remake the sketch but neater with colors.  Now we are on to the menu.  For the menu you can pick at least 8 items if you want.  My group did 9 items for the main part.  The menu has a lot of things to do.  The last draft was on technology so we had to type and then after we got it checked, our teacher printed the menu so we can do it like a real restaurant.  Of course it is not going to be a real restaurant because we can not afford that much money to build it and it is really fun doing the restaurant!  My favorite part so far is that we got to write an advertisement so we can make people come to our restaurant!  Then we are able to write a check for our restaurant!  After we are done with the check, we have to check off things that we finished and if we missed something we would do it.  After we are done with that we pick what kind of final project so we can tell about it by creating things.  My group did powerpoint.  For the powerpoint we used the iPad and the computer.  Other ones are commercial: for that one we use the app called green screen, flyer: for the flyer we design a flyer to spread the word so the people could come, model: for the model we use model magic and make the model of the restaurant, and last but not least the powerpoint which I already told you about.  These were some things that I told you about in math and I also thought this was really really fun!

The 4th Grade Concert!

Featured Blogger: Ella

Hi I'm Ella and I'm going to write about the 4th grade concert. All the songs were amazing. It was awesome!!! I didn't really have a favorite song because all of them were so good, but there was one song that I really liked. It was the song that sounded like two songs at the same time. The songs sounded beautiful together.  It was great. There were about four songs and I thought every single one was great. The music the beat were all fantastic.  Did you know our school has its own theme song? But I'm not going to sing it or anything but it's really catchy! I was so excited. I knew their songs would be just great.  I loved every single word.  Now some of you might be parents that are reading this.  A lot of parents did come to hear their 4th graders sing.  I’m pretty sure that everyone reading this would love to hear the 4th graders sing.  Singing is a great thing to do and it doesn't need a certain age.  It’s not dangerous, you can do it anywhere.  Boys and girls can do it.  So if you ever thought, “Oh signing is for girls,” or “Singing is for boys,” no don't say that ever again!  Well I mean you shouldn't say that ever again.  So the 4th grade concert happened in the morning but that's a good thing because 1: it set the day off to a good start 2: it woke me up and 3: well concerts are just better in the morning or at night no more of this afternoon stuff. The good thing about having a concert in the morning is that you have the songs stuck in your head and for some people it just gives you a happy feeling for the rest of the day.  But when you do it at night it gives you happy dreams.

Sweet Treats

Featured Blogger: Jordin
 
Hi I am Jordin.  Let me tell you about Sweet Treats.  It is a nice project if you like to have fun.  We did the project so we could learn about pictographs, bar graphs, and line plots.  First we made a bar graph to show how many people voted for that candy.  After the bar graph we wrote a response and showed our work.  Then we drew detailed pictures of our idea for making the candy.  Then we made a name for the candy.  Our flavor was Raspberry Caramel Delight because that was the first one to get the most votes.  Also we wrote a review on our sweet treats projects.  At first when we started Sweet Treats we didn’t really get it.  When we looked back we looked at our progress on from when we first started.  At the end of the project, we presented our Sweet Treats and we made posters to show our work.  We enjoyed making our own projects and showing our own work!

Snowman STEAM Challenge with 2Cr!

Featured Blogger: Sophie B.
Last month we (3Sp and 2Cr) did a STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art Math) challenge.  We had to make a self standing snowman with a 2Cr student.  It was hard.  We could only use some materials.  Here are the materials we used:  2 sheets of newspaper, 1 pencil or 3 popsicle sticks, glue, 2 yards of toilet paper, 2 feet of masking tape, 1 foot of clear tape, 1 paper plate to put our snowman on.  This project took two days.  One day for making our snowman, the other for decorating.  These are the materials we used to decorate: 1 piece of orange paper, 1 piece of green, purple, or turquoise, 2 pieces of black paper, 1 pipe cleaner, glue, and some tape.  Outside of our classroom there are pictures of the snowmen.  Also out there are some of the snowmen.  We worked very hard on these.  So please take a look when you can!
