We got a new student this week named Alden! He told us that he has learned some of the same things we have at his old school in Framingham. We are happy he is here. He is really nice!

During our lunch on Wednesday, a meteor struck the Earth and we lost quite a bit of power! In order to save the little bit we had left, the students were challenged to create a car that could travel only by puffs of air. They were given a piece of paper, one foot of tape, two straws, two paperclips, and four life savers to create their car with two other classmates. In order for their cars to be successful, they had to travel a distance of at least ten feet in only three puffs of air! It was fun to see that each of the groups had found their own creative way to complete the challenge!
Remember we need more book tower slips. We're currently in third grades lead but to be in the schools lead we need 8 more. GeometryOver the past week we've been working with geometry. Did you know that a square is a special rectangle? A square is also a quadrilateral. A hexagon has six sides, a decagon has ten sides,an octagon has eight sides, and a pentagon has five sides. We even watched a video about geometry..... it was funny. You can watch it here. MCAS worry dollsHave you ever heard of the worry doll? If you have a worry you put the worry doll under your pillow. You might be wondering why we're talking about worry dolls but we made some for MCAS! The topic for MCAS was E.L.A it took two days. There were three sessions. Session 1, Session 2A and session 2B. During session 2B we were guinea pigs. We tested out a new type of MCAS. Session 2b was a small timed part of the packet. It had a story, some multiple choice questions, some multiple answer questions, and we had to write a story based on the plot setting and characters. In Music class we played do's and do-day's. We got cards that had notes on them and we made little music patterns. We also recited a poem. With do's and do-day's. This is how the poem goes. 2,4,6,8 meet me at the garden gate. If i'm late don't wait 2,4,6,8. That is what we did in music. click on the picture to see the caption This concludes the blog of the week. Thanks for reading.
