Week of September 24

On Tuesday, our school wore red in support of Tyler Holst. He had a heart transplant on September 25th. He is currently in 3rd grade. Tyler is doing great and we are sure he approved of our support.

In Language Arts on Tuesday, we had a snowball fight!! We had several questions written on a paper which we crumpled up. Before we crumpled the papers we answered all the questions but one. Then the snowball fight took action! We threw the balls around for 15 seconds then we scrambled to pick one up. Mrs. Bradley told us to un-crumple the papers and answer the final question. This snowball fight was for our lesson on theme.

In Health, an auction was in progression. Everybody had $2,000 each. They could spend it on any item they found on the sheet of paper handed to them. These things range from going to a successful college to raising happy children. As with all auctions, highest bidder won the item. If you bet all of your money you automatically won the item! It was fun for all!

On Wednesday in Language Arts we did the hashtags activity. To do the hashtag activity, you read a story with a partner, come up with a theme for that story, and write it as a hashtag on a board or some other surface where the rest of the class can see. Some of the hashtags included are: #KeepCalm, #BeKind, #SteryotypesAren'tTrue, and #ListenToOthers.

On Thursday, we had a Vocab Goose Chase! For this activity we got to run around the school finding
examples for the vocab words we were given. The classes were split into five groups. The groups
shown were the winning groups from hours 1,3,5, and 8.
In order to win you had to take the most pictures and match them with the vocab words and
explain your example. It was a very fun way to help us study!

Also on Thursday, our school got free bagels and coffee! That was the highlight of the day!

Preston Ohm ran a 19 minute time during his cross country race this week!!
He was the fastest boy for ZM. Great job, Preston! Way to represent ZM!

In Language arts we are doing a fun activity to help us with our vocabulary 11 words. In this game you had to write to correct word on the board, then you got to choose if you were going to shoot the ball, or mark off another teams point. It was a fun game. In choir they earned a free day by getting so many marbles in the container so they got to do what ever they wanted in that class for the day. In band class we got new songs for our spring concert. They are called Grease, and Visions. It was para appreciation week day this week, so on Monday they decorated the staff break room with streamers and balloons along with food. In health we are finishing up our Self-Esteem unit. As you can see we are taking notes again. Now it is before the test, and we are prepping for it.

Week of September 3rd

In Life Science, we made observations on specimens. We had to identify two things that we saw, such as color, shape, spots, etc. Some specimen examples are Sea Cucumber, Pig Embryo, Frog, and Starfish. Later we reviewed our observations with the class. In Language Arts, we did book speed dating! First, we split the desks into pods. We were then given a stack of books. Then we picked out a book and gave it a first impression rating based on its cover and title. We read a little bit of the books and then rated how much we liked them. In the end, we chose whether we liked the book, loved the book, or hated it. We checked out some of the books that we LOVED so we could read them outside of class! On Friday during Power Hour, we went outside. We go outside on Friday if none of our work is missing or late. During that hour, most of us played nine square. Others walked around and enjoyed the nice weather. It was fun! In History, we learne...

This week in Power Hour we worked on school work and also did a class Kahoot. Kahoot is a super fun online website that we have used since 4th grade. It is not only a way to learn, it is also competitive which makes it fun and helps you learn. The Kahoot we did in class was about connotation and denotation, this was also on our Reading Terms Quiz that we had in Language Arts. In Language Arts we had a Reading Terms Quiz and our weekly Reading Log due. We also started a new book called "Freak the Mighty" by Rodman Philbrick. This is personally one of my favorite books, it is about a very tall teenager named Max who is not is not very smart but very tall and lives with his Grim and Gram. There is also another character named Kevin who has a disability with his legs and can't walk without leg braces and crutches. The story is about their adventures and the way another person can bring out the happiest and best out of you. In Science this week ...
