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.

Turtle Week by Trey

This week is turtle week.  On Monday a marine biologist came to talk to us.  We played a game and only two out of a hundred eggs survived.  Mine was eaten by a Mako shark.  After that we went to lunch and finished the school day.

A Look At Our Week

By Aerielle R.

This week on Monday we presented our Science shirts.  We had a lot of neat, creative words.  Julia Palmer had property, it means a characteristic trait, quality, or 5 senses, and for smell she put perfume all over it.  You could smell it all over the room.

Caroline's Thoughts of the Week

This week we went to Montgomery.  We had a lot of fun.  We visited the capitol building and Archives building.  Also, we went to Old Alabama Town.  Also, we went to gift shops.  One in the capitol building and one in Old Alabama Town.

This week was busy and exciting.  On Monday we sang in chapel.  In math we are working on fractions.  In history we are studying chapter 6 Rebuilding Alabama.  During reading we are working on our new unit, Illustrations.  In Science we are focusing on circuits.  Tuesday we went to the book fair and they had great books.  We had an exciting week.

This Week We...

This week we made a series circuit.  We had 2 light bulbs, 3 wires, and one battery and those are the components.  My table made 2 light bulbs and one motor work on the same wire.  In history we are starting a new unit.  It is chapter 6.  That's just some of what we did this week.

Lilly's Look at the Week

This week we had a speaker from Alabama Power.  She told us about electricity.  She showed us the Safe-t-opolis.  It would show us how dangerous electricity can be.  We also had a Math test.

A Week Through Alexis's Eyes

This week we went to a play called Babes in Toyland.  The play was about a girl that went to Toyland because she thought the Toy Master could help her with her mortgage.  It ended up the Toy Master helped everyone with their mortgage.

Our Week by Glynn

THis week we did a lot of fun things and dome work.  We learned our new unit in math.  One day in math we played a game all of the lesson.  In reading we finished our unit and we finished our projects.  We also had a party for Ms. Brown when she left.

The Week According to Trey

Monday was the best Monday ever.  I could not wait to write about when we were in Technology.  We learned that we were starting an endangered species project.  I'm so excited to see what animal I'm going to get.  We also made our Science hats.  They were all amazing.  Then we went to the Exploreum.  We learned all about Science and animals.  That's how our week went.

This week we learned a lot of things.  We're learning decimals.  Our test is November 9th.  It's a little confusing.  It was also Halloween week.  We all counted our candy.  It was a lot.  That's some thing this week.  At least what I can remember.

When we saw our mentors we talked about smoking, drinking, and texting while driving is bad.  We all drew pictures.  Some of the sayings were "Budweiser's not your supervisor" , "Bud light is not all right,"  "Smoke is no joke"!

We also had OLSATs on Friday.  It wasn't fun.  It was very long.  We had 72 questions.  It took 40 minutes.

Owl Pellets...Day 2 Dissection

I dissected an owl pellet.  I had a bird in my owl pellet.  It was really fun.
 I took it home and played with it.

This week we dissected owl pellets.  I thought it was going to be really gross. 
But it was just fur and bones.

Reiney took all the pictures posted this week.

Lewis was all hands in for this dissection.

William tried very hard to match up his pellet bones
to the rodent skeleton taped in his journal.

Glynn and Reiney getting ready to open up their pellets.

I'm not so sure about this Mrs. Benton.

"Look at what's in mine.  I see bones!"

Elizabeth and Lily study their bone identification charts.

"You can have most of my bones Trey. 
My mom would freak out if I brought these home."

This is soo cool Mrs. Benton.  Can I keep it?

A Moment From the Week

We had a great first week of school.  In Science we learned about the human body.  We learned lots of facts about the state of Alabama.  Did you know that the state flower is the camellia?  We have a new writing teacher this year, her name is Mrs. Dalanzo.  We had our Math fact quiz, our Science test, and our Spelling test.  We're going to have a great year!
