Book Fair

Featured Blogger: Joey

The Book Fair is a fair that you go to buy books that you want. You can also buy posters that you think are interesting. They have numbers so you can say what number poster you want. The numbers on the posters went all the way up to number 25. Your teacher puts books in her slot so you can pick any from his or her slot. Then you can buy books for your teachers that they want and sign it and give it to them. During the Book Fair if you had library you would have to have library in your classroom. Also the Book Fair was open from Wednesday to Thursday and it closed at 8:00pm.  Obviously the Book Fair was held in the library. At the Book Fair there are also books on tables so you can see them, and there are books on the shelves so they look like they are advertised. There were long books for the 4th graders and short books for the kindergarteners and medium books for the 2nd graders. The Book Fair was fun and I got some really cool books!  

Travel Agency & Mystery Envelope

Featured Blogger: Brooke

So in class we are doing a travel agency project and we have a group and a planning sheet. Why we did the travel agency project is because we had an envelope and we had to open it when we knew all about the maps so we could understand everything. You would get to have a group of three or more and you would get to pick a poster or iPad. My group chose a poster and on the poster you would have a key and a map. You could either tape the map on the poster or draw the map on the poster. Another thing is on the planning sheet you would have a directions paper for your poster or iPad. You need to have a compass rose on your map so you know what direction you’re going. That’s how our groups made the travel agency project.

The envelope had green, pink, and yellow paper and a map of Lilja. You would have to trace the route on the map. You had to follow the steps on the color paper you got. Then you would follow the track you made and there would be sticky notes on the wall. Follow them and you would find the treasure. There were bags in the treasure with two pieces of candy, an eraser, and a maze puzzle. Finding the treasure was really fun!

Playing Soccer in Gym

Featured Blogger: Maria

This week we were doing soccer in gym. We played a game that we had partners. One partner had to jog with a soccer ball when the other partner was just just jogging. When Mr. DeMayo said stop, we  had  to find  our  partner and  whoever had the ball had  to  kick it  under their partner’s legs while the other  partner was opening their legs.  In another game we had  teams, like  defense and offense, but it was hard because we had 2 balls. These are only two of the games that I have explained, but were many more!

Reflex Math is Fun!

Featured Blogger: Felitcia

I love Reflex Math because it helps you get faster with your facts. Also it helps me! You can make a girl or a boy for your avatar and dress them when you have enough money. If you need help with your math, Reflex Math helps you! There are stores in the game, but when you first get it you just have 3 of them. One game is called “Ninja Star.” In this game you jump and get points! My favorite was when I got a green light. A green light is when you play it a lot. When we get a green light, Ms. Sprague gives a sticker to us.  That is why I like Reflex Math!

Perfect Personal Narratives

Featured Blogger: Libby

In writing we are making personal narratives. We have read a lot of personal narratives to get us ready for them. 1,2,3 no 4 personal narratives! We have written personal narratives about our feelings. On 10/21/15 we wrote about a time when we had a strong feeling. The book that inspired us to write about a time when we had a silly family story was Knucklehead. We also have written about a memory with a person. On 10/22/15 we talked about where and when to put paragraphs in our writing. Personal narratives, personal narratives, we love to write personal narratives!

Playground Changes

Featured Blogger: Jose

Our playground has new swings and also new poles that are red. I notice a lot of kids play on the swings. Also there are two big piles of wood chips near the swings. One of the swings is handicapped. Also there is a big dumpster on the basketball court. Why is the dumpster there, you ask? Because the gym got flooded so they tore up the floors and put in new floors. That's all the changes on the playground!!!

Class Jobs in 3Sp

Featured Blogger: Caleb

In 3Sp we voted on class jobs.Jobs are like assignments for helping the teacher.  For example, one of our jobs are VIP and VIP is line leader and gets to sit on a cool chair.  Another example is paper passer. When the teacher needs help passing out paper, the paper passers pass them out. A different example is recess basket. Recess basket brings out the recess basket when we go out to recess.  One more example is tech tackler, which is when you turn off and on the lights when we come and go from the classroom.  My favorite job I had so far is tech tackler because I love turning on and off the lights.  One of the jobs I think I will like is VIP because VIP gets to sit in a special chair and gets to be line leader.  The jobs in 3Sp are spectacular because we get to choose them!
