Buddies Part 2

Featured Blogger: Abby

Yyyyeeessss!!!!  We have buddies again! I can’t remember my buddy’s name though.  Think Abby.  Think .   Later Ms. Hirsch came in and started pairing up the buddies again. “Sam and Jack, Tessa and Edwin…” Ms. Hirsch was saying.  Wow there are a lot of buddies, I thought. “Abby and Evelyn.” OOOOHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That’s my buddy’s name!  What activity are we going to do this time?  “Bingo dots,” Ms. Hirsch said. Bingo dots?  What are those?  Ms. Hirsch explained that bingo dots were little dots of paint that are inside a bottle and the bottle is filled with paint so the Bingo dots don’t dry out.  “I brought these special papers that you can fill them out with the Bingo dots,” said Ms. Hirsch.  “Wow Evelyn you are a very good at coloring!” I said.  When it was time for the buddies to leave everybody said goodbye.  “BYE SEE YOU NEXT TIME!!!!”  I can’t wait for the buddy’s to come back because I had a really fun time.

The New Snack Time Book!

Featured Blogger: Tessa

In snack we are reading a book called The One And Only Ivan.  Ivan is a silverback gorilla.  He can be very funny sometimes. Ivan thinks a lot. One of the things Ivan thinks is that humans talk too much. Also Ivan says that gorillas are very patient and humans, well, he thinks not so much. Ivan used to be a wild gorilla, but now he lives in the Big Top Mall at Exit 8. It’s not an appropriate habitat for any animal to be living in. Ivan has been living there for 27 years (9,855 days). The domains that they have for the animals are like jail cells. Ivan has a lot of stuff in his domain like a TV and a mini swimming pool with dirty water!  But Ivan can do a lot of things that other gorillas can’t do, like he can draw. He says that he draws a very good banana but the owner (Mack) of the Big Top Mall, says that his drawing is a piece of junk.  Poor Ivan.  Ivan once thought he was the only gorilla left then… he saw a real gorilla on his TV in his domain.

Ivan has friends like Stella (elephant), Bob (dog) and other animals like that. Everything is all normal, until the animals find out that a new animal is coming. Everybody is excited, but Stella is not. She says it is a elephant and she is a elephant. She is worried that she is going to have to share her cage with the elephant. The cage that she has is already so tiny, she could only take two steps each way!!! Stella was right. It was an elephant but it was a baby. Her name was Ruby.  Ruby starts calling Stella Aunt Stella and they become connected.  Like they are family!!! A couple weeks later the book is very sad. Sadly Stella DIED!!! Ruby is very sad. The Big Top Mall is sort of like a circus. The Big Top Mall has shows and Ruby is so sad she can’t even do her tricks!!! Also Stella knew that she was going die so she made a promise with Ivan to keep Ruby safe and have her live somewhere other than The Big Top Mall. Ivan said … yes!!! Ruby has a lot of questions for Ivan. A couple minutes after Stella dies, Ivan is so sad. He wishes his heart was made of ice. Poor Ivan. If you like this blog, you’ll probably like this book. You’ll have to read the end to find out!!!

Cursive

Featured Blogger: Jack

Hey, do you what 3Sp is learning? We’re learning cursive!!! The first letter we learned was L. We’re learning lower case letters first, then upper case letters. We learn cursive letters in a blue workbook. By the way, we also learned E, H, B, F, K, I, J, P, R, S, T, U, W, C, A, O and D. All the letters start at the grass line. What's the grass line you will ask? Well, there are 4 lines: the worm, the grass, the plane, and the sky line. Got it? Now, let me tell you what part of the day we learn it. We learn cursive either at the end of the day or in the morning. We do skywriting, which is when we write the letter in the air. We also need to practice at it to get good at it. Cursive is... AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!  And the BEST!!!!!!!!  By: Jack

Culture Cubes

Featured Blogger: Will

Hey! Guess what 3Sp made! Culture cubes!!! There are 4 sides and a bottom...AND you draw a self portrait on the top!!!!!! I put music, food, language, customs, and family tree on it.  It was really cool to be able to make a culture cube! Everyone will get to share their culture cube.  So far we've had 1 person share. There are a lot of different religions in this class so we will get to hear a lot of different things from a lot of different cultures! Some of the languages are Portuguese, German, and American. We put a lot of effort into the culture cubes that we made.    We are going to learn a lot about each other’s cultures when we all share.  

The ending of my blog !!!

Playing the Recorder

Featured Blogger: Matt

Hey 3Sp got recorders!  The colors are red, blue, white and green.  I got blue and I am learning how to play it.  We read about when the recorder was first made.  Some of the class got to trade parts of their recorder. No germs were on it.  I love it.  We are learning to play them!  You should play it at home.  I am so happy we got them.  Also you should put your name on the case.  You have to get the white belt.  You might be asking how do you get the white belt.  Well you have to know how to play hot cross buns.  Our class knows how to play!  Playing the recorder is fun!!!
