As usual this update will be a composite of student reflections on the week. We are really chugging along and making progress everyday.
We did awesome stuff with electricity and ukers are now bringing home their ukes. In library we are using pixler.
This week we did lots of work with division and models. We also did some work with electricity and it’s source and how it works. Well that’s the week. bey bey
This week we were playing the grinch game in p.e it is one of my favorite games. We had a chex mix sale, I saw one person who got like twenty bags.
What I loved so much about this week is that I got to bring my Uk home to practice and show my parents what I have learned. I also loved this week because in Art we did a lot of x-mas projects.
This week, we started a new topic, electricity. So far, we have learned about full circuits, and cells (batteries) by watching a video. We also learned about motors, with an article from The Way Things Work. A website taught us more about circuits, and Mr. Willard taught us about bulbs, light, and, heat. We have also experimented with circuits, using, “aligator” clips, a power source, and either a motor, or a bulb.
We started electricity and learned a lot about it like how a motor and a circuit works.
This week we got checks mix. There was a line around the corner. Students were getting checks mix for their parents, themselves, and their younger siblings.
This week we worked on electricity and yesterday we also tryed to make are lights light up and my partner was Kameron and we liteup 1 light bulb than we liteup 2 and we did that one and than we did 3,4 and we got up to and that was fun and I love what we were doing.
This week we started a unit (to take place of reteach) on electricity. Again I was not there yesterday (Thursday,) but, this time I was going to an eye doctor appointment. I also shared two times this week.
Have a great weekend!

Also this week, you will notice your student(s) coming home with some of their work, this is so they can show it off! This is always fun and please try to remind them to bring their notebooks back to school on Monday.
We worked furiously on our book posters.
This friday my class is playing the grinch game. My teacher just has to play the grinch game in a good way. I like to be a hoo not a grinch because all the grinch's do are kick around hula hoop to make people bring the light bulbs back to the mountain.
At recess today i'm going to play football we pick teams with team captains I hope i'm on my brothers team.
I am so excited for pe because we are playing the grinch game I love it because there are some grinches a max and hows dawn in howvil.
I really liked reteach this week, because I learned a lot! I also liked reteach because I got to do a lot of writing.
This week we were working on are book posters and I did me poster about The One And Only Ivan and we also are bringing are Abenaki project home and i cant what to bring are Abenaki posters home and I love my Abenaki project.

The first week of December!
This post will be a conglomerate of authentic student reflections from the week. I have done some editing for spelling only, as to preserve the essence of everyone's thoughts.
This week, I was absent on Monday, it is bad because I missed school, but it is good because I finished Catching Fire! I checked out Mockingjay at the library, but I have had trouble starting it. First, my brother was playing his video game music when I started to read it. Second, I was on the bus and I couldn’t concentrate because my friend was listening to my favorite song with earbuds, and I wanted to listen too. That leaves me with chapter three.
This week we had the same sub that we had the week befor. His name is M.r Mich he was a nice sub. We also presented our abenaki posters. My poster looked had a boat, bow and arrow and a picture of a abenaki shooting a deer. My story of the abenaki started out like this….. ‘’Boom!’’ A gunshot rang out through the woods. The abenaki were out hunting again.
Ukers are finished there uk's (and added new strings). our Abenaki mini-unit is finished and the was a fire drill and assembly.
I was in florida most of the week, and I don’t have a lot to say here. We had a cool fire safety talk!
This week I was very excited! The class had an museum walk on our abenaki work. Plus this week we were getting ready to work on some poster and that willard kid is doing pretty good on his. I herd that we in pe are going to play basketball. Speaking of basketball on thursday was the first basketball practices it was very exciting! That was the most exciting thing this week bekas I have been practicing for a long time.
This week we had the fire drill for safety. The firefighters came in to teach us and we learned how to be safe in a fire drill. They also taught us that if a fire were to go off in our house we stay come and to be alert. What i’ve been tring to tell you is that don’t cook when your alone or with your older sibling.
Today we had a fire drill! After the fire drill, we went to to the gym for a assembly with the firefighters for fire safety. It was really interesting to hear about how you can cause a fire. For example, you shouldn't have a toaster under cabinets because if your toaster burns, the fire will go through the cabinets and you will have a fire in your cabinet! After the whole assembly,the firefighters surprised us with little prizes. You could get a glow- in the dark frisbee, or you could get a water bottle. I personally wanted the water bottle. You could also get this color pencils and if you rub them, they will change a different color. I got a blue with white built into the pencil, I also got a purple with hot pink built into it. And finally I got a rubber bracelet with words on it that says “Practice Fire Exit Drills!” It has been a fun day so far!
there was a fire drill. there was a assemble.my foot felt like it was parlisd bekose it was aslep.
-Have a great weekend!
