All About Today

Dear Readers,
    Today in art we finished our portfolios for our different art work. We also put on some finishing touches on our animalitos. These were made out of sticks and did not fit in our portfolios since they are not flat and are delicate.
    When we did music today in our classroom, we played music styles bingo. This means we learned what the styles sounded like before we could play. It was very fun!
     In the afternoon, we made comic stories that were fiction that had a problem and a solution. Some of us made covers for our stories by using construction paper. We learned that a fiction story is a made up story with made up characters that has a problem and a solution. They are interesting stories.

Heritage Day-Getting Along

Dear Readers,
    Today in the gym we went to the sixth grade heritage show and it was really cool. We learned alot about the other countries that the girls or their families came from to the United States. In E.L.A. we are learning about how people get along like citizens in the same country coming from other countries. So, we connected the two events of this morning and our reading for today. We also celebrated Ava Kennedy's ninth birthday. What a full day it was! We had a great day!

Helping Others

Dear Readers,
     We are back at our blog writing more about our day. We have been growing herbs and spices in clay pots. They are growing very well. Today we learned about Cinco de Mayo and how important freedom is to all of us. In math we played money bingo and Jacqueline and Katey were our winners. We found some for our 30 book challenge in the library at library time today.
     We have been learning how we can help other and how others help people to make the world a better place. Space day was May 1 and we have been talking about how learning about outer space is connected to helping others. Stay tuned to what we learn tomorrow.
