Blog Of The Day

Hi,My name is Carla,and this is my first time writing the blog.Today's the last day for ISTEP! I-Step has been very complicated for some students,for the others it's really easy.What we've been doing in ISTEP is Math,L.A,and Social Studies.There's two sessions of all of them.
In reading,we're on chapter 10.The books that we're reading are Hatchet,The Sign of the Beaver,Caddie Woodlawn,The Cay,and Island of the Blue Dolphins.We have these reflection papers that we do every night after we are done reading.Mr.Walden calls the Island of the Blue Dolfins,"Island of the Blue-Green Turtles" Or something like that.

IMMA FIRIN' MAH LAZARZ!!!

Hey, this is Jarrett. this is what...my 10,000th time writing the blog?
So in art we are making these cool clay cylinders to make signatures. People used them for thousands of years.History lesson: In the olden times,people had cylinders strung around their neck for two purposes. The first was to sign "receipts" and other household items that they bought. The second was to ward off evil spirits.
Also, in band, we are playing 3 songs,two of which are VERY hard. The easiest would have to be America the Beatiful. At first we were horrible, but we improved. The hardest would be our newest, The Tempest. It's very fast paced, and Fire Dance, our other hard one isn't quite as fast, but still hard. A few people (including me) are thinking what would happen if we combined The Tempest and Fire Dance. I think it would be the BEASTLIEST SONG OF ALL TIME, but very,very fast. And the parts for certain instruments are hard. The clarinets have to repeat the same note for like 30 four-beat measures with no breath marks or rests!
Also, Mr.Walden is going to make our subjects a bit more fun to learn. Supposedly, we're going to have our subjects like Jeopardy. ( Starts to hum theme song) What else is going on... Weather is warming up, so hardly any more jackets... Although with warmer weather means rain... I don't know why, but I always liked rain. Still do. So, along with the Jeopardy thing, Mr.Walden plans to take it easy on us for getting in trouble. We can still get refferalls and such, but no more recess taken away! Woohoo! (insert all possible happy smile face emoticons here) Also for the those of you who recognize the title...

I can't think of a title......(weekend)

Hi this is Tyler Locander and I'll be writing the blog for today! Today has been going great. Right now is D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything And Read) time. Last night it rained so we can't go outside for recess...... Yesterday alot of people didn't do their reading or reflection paper. Today in band we got to watch a movie (it was funny). The weekend is finally here! Yesterday Mr. Walden left at lunch. We had a subsitute his name was Mr. Mayhew. We can't wait until we get to go outside for recess agian. Today in P.E. we're having free choice Friday. Free choice Friday is every two weeks. It is where we go around and pick what we want(for exp. knockout, hula hooping, jump roping, and some other things i can't think of). Yesterday the blog was hilarious!

Pencil Farm.

G'day mates! Everyone is finally glad it's spring and just look at the lead and ink blooming below! Too many pencils if you think about it. Sam must have alot of harvesting to do this year. (Plays "Combine Harvester")

Though Sam should have not had these (just way too many) it's still hilarious :). Please give us your opinion on it! Even though it's a few weeks past spring break... welcome back! But don't blame me for not knowing when we last did the blog. I don't really keep track of it.

We have been working on ratios in math and (thankfully) got finished with parent teacher conferences. We are doing persuasive writing in language and working with supply and demand in social studies.

And getting our energy out by going outside for recess. So don't really worry, (well maybe a little.)

So we hope to see you in next week (or day's) blog.

SEE YOU LATER!!

Strange Creatures..

As we all know Meghan Sommers is holding a book from the book fair. It has been happening this week (April 2nd -April 9th.) They have lots of books and small writing materials for school. and some you have to take home. This week we did not have a spelling test or pretest but we will have one next week because we've been working on the words for next week's test. The words we've been working on are contractions: it's, they'd, I'll, and conjunctions, pronouns and verbs. Making sure for the parents: we have had very little home work. In social studies we have been doing stuff about prices, demand, and supply. You should ask your children about those words they will tell you a lot. Science is usual --nothing much but we did start a new chapter. Some math home work not much. We haven't had much reading. Friday we had a ""End of the 3rd Quarter Party"!! The party was for certificates for A/ B hono roll,tardy slips/days not here. Well, that's it for this week!!! BYE!

Meghan is scaring her classmates..

Life is easy then tricky

Its me again,Lorenzo P. The class is doing penpal letters to our penpals in Bloomington. Later on, we're going to Bloomington if the class stays good. So now were learning about life that can get hard,budgeting. So we're practicing using money in our life. No were not using real money.Were also doing BookFair.There are two books I want, but its kinda long so I'm going to tell.Were learning about circuts in science. Its kinda easy and a little tricky FOR ME, but Im still learning. Also in music class, the band class is learning something hard. Its called Fire Dance by Douglas Akey. You may of heard or not. Its long and fast and hard. Plus the song has one hundred measures. Im running out of things to say. So this my third time doing the blog and its fun its just hard to think of something. In gym, its survivor week. Its a thing were you can get bandannas thats has a picture of your team and compete other teams. But don't think your will win if you have a good day beacause you have most of the rest of the school on your team and they might have a bad day. So if you were first in the moring, you might be last in the evening. Thats all I've got to say so bye.

Back from Spring Break!

After spring break already? To me it went by too fast. We're getting to the process of writing a persuasive letter to the president. We all get to write whatever we want to him as long that it is in the persuasive form of the letter. I think it's going to be fun. Hopefully he will read them. Mr. Walden the coolest teacher of all time. He said that The President reads only 10 letters a day. It's a small chance but we're all hoping that he will. Cross your fingers. Something else in social studies : we're learning about the economy and that you need to budget your money or you will run out. In math we're learning about ratios and percentages. In art we are doing this religous cylinder roll. You make a cylinder out of clay and when it drys you mak designs in it and were going to roll it on a flat piece of clay and the design will come off onto the clay it will look really cool. Mrs. Stuckey showed us one that she made it looked awesome. Thats it really. talk to you next time.

sincerily,
Tyler l
