Martin Luther King Video

We made a Martin Luther King video. We had to record our voices reading his famous "I have a dream" speech. We learned all about his speech and talked about how he changed our world. We then each got a part and we had to read it. Miss Crowley recorded us reading and then we made pictures of Martin Luther King. Using iMovie, Miss Crowley made them into a video. It was really cool recording our voices and learning about his speech. We're going to watch it over and over again!

When Sophie gets really really angry!

We had Project Cornerstone this week. We read when "Sophie gets angry-really, really angry." We talked about the book and how the colors changed in the story. We also talked about what happens when we get angry and how we feel like our emotions. 

Then we got to do an experiment. We made little volcanoes with vinegar and water. One volcano had red paint and the other had blue paint. We were supposed to make the red one explode and the blue one not explode. It was very difficult to make the blue one not explode. 

Then we talked about ways to calm ourselves down. We read a sheet of examples and decorated it with love stickers. We also drew on it to help us remember what we talked about.

The Estimation Jar

 

Each week the Apostles of the Week get to fill up a jar with stuff. They have to count the items and give our teacher a note or an email that says how much is in the jar. Then the Apostle brings it to school and we look at it all week. Then on Thursday we get to vote using the iPads. The person that was the closest wins! I put Legos in my jar! I can't wait to see who gets the closest! By: Komodo Dragon

Chocolate Cursive

Yesterday, we started learning cursive. We used chocolate pudding. First, we wrote the vowels and then we practiced some of the consonants. We used one finger to write each letter. Then we ate it at the end! Some people thought it was gross like Komodo Dragon, but most of us loved it! We had lots of fun learning cursive and can't wait to keep practicing! By: Orca

Dinosaurs!

In Science we've been learning about Dinosaurs. It was really fun and we did a lot of work on it. We learned that not all dinosaurs look the same. Some have horns and some have sharp teeth. They eat different things and they live in different areas of the world. They different teeth so, they can eat different thing.

At one point all the dinosaurs lived on one continent. We also learned about fossils. Fossils are very cool and they are what tell us about dinosaurs.

The Greatest Commandment!

We were talking about the Ten Commandments and how God wants us to be the best people and follow them. Then we talked about the greatest commandment. The Greatest Commandment is, "Love God with all your mind, all your soul and all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself." By: Panther

Christmas get together with our Buddies

We made these with our buddies before Christmas. The angels stayed up, but most of the Santas fell down. By: Morray eel

When we got together with our buddies we got to make the santa and angels. You cut them out and color them however you want. There was a little slit to show where to tape them. If you taped it right, they stood up, but most fell down. We had lots of fun making them. Our buddies liked them too! By: Bassett Hound

Jiji travels the World

We have an app on our iPads called ST MATH.  It is a cool app. On the app you play math games and you get percentages every level you move up. Our class is working hard to get everyone to a 100%. Jiji is the ST MATH penguin. He plays the games with us. Every ten percent our class gets, he moves to a new place. When we got to ten percent, he went to Canada. When we got to twenty, he went to New York. Then he went to France. Now we just got to 40%! He is in Tanzania, which is a country in Africa. When he moves to a new place, our teacher gives us a party! We can’t wait until we get to 50%!

Hot chocolate Cause and Effect Stories…

            We made Cause and Effect stories. First, we read cause and effect stories, so we would know what to do. We read “If you give a mouse a cookie” and “If you give a pig a pancake.” Then we made hot chocolate pictures. We had to cut out the pieces and glue them together. Then we had to decorate the mug. We added glitter steam and real marshmallows. We hung them on the wall.

After we made the pictures, we wrote our own stories. I wrote, “If you give a mouse, hot chocolate,” but some other people wrote different ones. Koala wrote, “If you give Olaf (from frozen) hot chocolate.” Komodo Dragon wrote, “If you give T-rex hot chocolate.” We loved writing our stories!!
