A Very Cold Day

Today it was very cold, but that didn't stop us from having fun. In PE we played the game "Royalty." It is almost like dodge ball, but if you get hit you must sit down and the royalty must tag you to get back in. If the royalty gets hit, the game is over. In French and Spanish, we practiced writing our numbers. Afterwards, we had math which was fun because we got to play Place Value Quizmo. We had DEAR right after lunch for 25 minutes. Then we banned the word big by coming up with synonyms to take its place. In our short assembly, the upper school chorus sang the song, "That's What the Devil Says." We used WHALES ON STILTS to help us create a descriptive paragraph about a picture of an abandoned warehouse. Now it's off to recess! In conclusion, it was really fun for a Monday!

Spectacular Science

What do paper airplanes, the solar system, and writing checklists have in common? They were all things we worked with today. In computer class, we used the Science Explorations website to cut and paste information about the solar system into a word document. We had to leave PE early to have our yearbook pictures taken. In math, we worked on comparing and also rounding larger numbers. Our experiment in science class let us do something our teachers never let us do in school, make paper airplanes. We experimented to see if attaching a paper clip to the front of the planes would allow them to fly farther. The day ended with a discussion about our writing checklist. Signed: The Class
