Assemblies

Featured Blogger: Benny

Hi my name is BENNY. Every month we have one assembly. At assemblies we sing songs and we talk about what we are learning in school. A few classes share what they are learning. For example, the 4th grade shared about the yellow zone, red zone, green zone, and blue zone. One song we sing every time is the Lilja School song. Assemblies are awesome!

3rd Grade Buddies

Featured Blogger: Gianny

Hi my name is Gianny and I am going to talk about our kindergarten buddy’s in 3’rd grade. My kindergarten buddy’s name is Avery and we have played many games together. Like a turkey game where we traced our hand and turned it into a turkey with our kindergarten buddy. Soon after we turned it into a turkey, we colored it. On Halloween we made monsters together and we turned it into puppets. We are going to see our buddies again on Thursday! It’s so much fun to play with our buddies!

Freckle

Featured Blogger: Nicholas

Hello. My name is Nicholas. I am going to tell you all about an app named Freckle. Freckle is an app you can do on the ipad, chromebook, and more. First you must type in a password and then your first and last name. Then, there is 4 subjects you can do: Math, Science, Social Studies, and ELA (which stands for english language arts). In math, you can do fact practice or adaptive practice. Either way, you must get enough coins in order to go to the piggy store where you can buy clothes for your avatar. In math adaptive practice, there are 6 subjects you can do: base ten, geometry, measurement and data, operations and algebraic thinking, fractions, and financial literacy. In ELA there is also 3 things you can do: skills practice, library, and word study. In word study, it teaches you all about vocabulary like suffixes and everything else. In library, it makes you read a book (nonfiction or fiction) and quizzes you along the way. In skills practice, it is practically the same thing except it also talks a little bit about our language. If you try out Freckle I promise you will LOVE IT!!!

Zones

Featured Blogger: Roman

Hi my name is Roman and I’m going to tell you about the zones. The zone you mostly want to be in is the green zone. Now I am going to tell you how you can get in the green zone. You could think happy thoughts and take deep breaths, you could even use positive self-talk, you could give calm reminders and just keep trying your best! You should not be in the red zone. To get out of the red zone do the things to help you get in the green zone. There are 4 different zones: green, red, blue, and yellow. There are so many ways to get out of the red zone and to get in the green zone. Blue zone is like when your hurt, shy, sick, nervous and relaxed. Still you do not want to be in it you want to be in the green zone. If your in the yellow zone your embarrassed and jealous, overwhelmed, grouchy and crabby, annoyed, uncomfortable, anxious and worried. Its a lot right. And now I am going to tell you how to get out of the yellow zone.To move spots you could take a walk around the school, you could take a gulp of water, you could read the room and talk to a friend, take a break from everybody and read a book. Our whole class made a packet of all the zones and how to get out and how to get in. We’ve been talking a lot about the zones and my teacher Ms. Sprague has been teaching us a lot about the zones. Maybe when you’re at home you could make your own packet of red zone, yellow zone, green zone, and blue zone and how to get in them and how to get out of them.
