Many Things Happened This Week
Many things happened this week. We had a bake sale to raise money for our playground. We earned $167 and change in the bake sale. The people we sold to were the 3-4 graders and the 5-6 graders. We still have to sell to the second graders and we are going to sell popsicles to them. Our total for the playground project is $437 and change.
We have been working in Music and we recorded our songs. Our songs are Celebration which we changed to Recess Time. We also had Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and we changed that to Homework is not fun.
We had a Math test. We started a new History chapter. We are starting a new Reading unit. Our project is an in class Poetry project. We went to the Duke on Friday. It was cancelled because they heard thunder. That is what we did this week.

Alexis's Thoughts of the Week
This week our class proposed the Playground Project! It went really good and nobody messed up. After some thinking, they said yes! Right now we have about $253.00! Make sure you send your kid with money on Tuesday for our bake sale. Have a great week!
A Word from Glynn
This week was so much fun! On Monday we had a normal day. Tuesday in Science we did experiments. We worked hard on our proposal for all of the people who would like to come. The rest of the days were normal until Friday. On Friday we had our turtle cake walk and it was so much fun because we all listened to music and the whole grade was there. Mrs. Benton's class raised the most money for the sea turtles so we got to keep Saintly. The fifth grade play was also Friday. It was so funny and good and then after that we went to the skillet for the rest of the time. It was a really fun week.
