TWAS

A surprise delivery of
pumpkins!

Today, many students are expressing how tired they are! I had to remind them that it is their first 5-day school week for the entire month of October! While we were working on our TWAS, Mrs. Dehn stopped by to ask for help carrying in over 80 pumpkins that were donated to our school! It was quite the surprise!

TWAS-Oct.26, 2012

This week at school we had a UNICEF assembly and we did a song. We kind of messed up at the beginning and started to get better through the song.  We had a video about what UNICEF is about and it was about 5 minutes I would say. So far bird’s hill school has raised $345. In the morning we have been keeping everyone updated on how we are doing on the announcements and I was the first day with Kyla. It isn’t that hard it was actually fun.

In math we had a large number quiz and it was pretty easy because we have been doing all the stuff during math periods anyways. Today we had our mental math paper where we had to write answers without writing it out to help. I was the first one done and Jack was about 5 seconds after. We also got our patrol membership card which is like a V.I.P pass that can let you go to the movies or wheelies and stuff like that. On Tuesday we had our bus evacuation and it was fun learning what to do if something ever happens. Grade 5’s couldn’t patrol them though but I can next year.

Book Brag Board . . . students
share about the books they're
reading to get their classmates
interested!

In ELA we learned about a book brag board. It’s a board where you write down a book and say what is so awesome about it. We have also been doing reading strategy’s that will help us for when we are reading. We just finished reading the book holes. It was a really good book. We also started to read a book called wonder. It is about a boy with a messed up face and is going to school. In science we did weather and climate and we need to put them into categories. We had Mrs. Malawski for that. We also had social studies and we learned about the land bridge. I finished after about 15 minutes. It was kind of hard.

For book buddies we taught the kids a owl poem and then helped them make a owl. Dylan’s owl was so cute. His owl had tiny eyes and wings that stuck up. It was so awesome how it turned out but I just put some claws on his feet.  In French I finished my personal sheet and it was hard finding the words though.

In gym we played Pac-man. There are puppets and you have to stay on the line without getting tagged. We also played sponge bob square pants and you have to get across bikini bottom without getting tagged and I was Patrick. We also had choir and it was fun. We have super singers and I was one of them and I got a nib. It was a great week.
