Today 3rd graders came to check out the 4th grade ABC books on display. "Be sure to check out Tony's," suggested Samantha to one of the younger ones, "because it's really big and has lot of pictures of him at the places he's been in North Carolina. It's really crafty!!" There were also be some ABC PowerPoints on the Big screen to look at courtesy of Eric.
PARTY!!!
"Hip, hip, hooray! There's a parté this Thursday," screamed TJ. Everyone is invited to attend to celebrate the end of 4th Grade. We're going to kick our party off with a big SPLASH!! "Students who earned tickets will get to trade them for a bucket of water and students will get to splash any of the teacher with it," explained Lizzy. You will earn as many tickets as your score went up from 3rd grade. For example, if you had 344 in reading last year and you got a 355 this year, you would have grown 11 points so you would get 11 tickets to buy buckets to splash with. There will also be dancing, snacks, board games, singing, and much, much more. The party starts at 8:30 and will last until lunch. Any snack donations, particularly fresh fruit and veggies, would be much appreciated.
Awards Day
Don't Forget, this Thursday afternoon will also be our final awards ceremony for the school year. "Awards Day is to award students for what they did this year. For example, some will get an award for Accelerated Reading if they got all of their points for AR," explained Tony. "Make sure you come to see me walking up to the stage to get my ALL of my awards," bragged Te'ona.
"FUN!" that was the word used by Ashley to describe EOG Week. "I definitely agree," responded LIzzy to Ashley's word. "I love taking the EOGs so I can pass and move on to the next grade." Ashley meant something different. After finishing the EOG, we got to have fun but about the actual EOG, she said, "I felt tired and scared after taking the EOG." Stacie's favorite part of EOG Week was eating the snack Mrs. Robinson passed out everyday and watching movies and playing games. After we took the EOG, she was happy about not doing any more work. "The movie's were really funny and entertaining and my favorite was watching Series of Unfortaunate Events and eating the tasty snacks." "I thought the EOG's were EASY!!" said Gabe. His favorite was the math caculator inactive. "I think I did better on the inactive than any of the other section." He was able to prove all of the prove all of the questions on the inactive, but had to guess on just a few of the question on the active. But you should, there were a whole mess of questions on the calculator active. "My favorite part of the EOG was the reading," explained Xavier. "I think it was kinda easy because they had easy stories." He did have to go back over the stories though and read them over to get the answers to the questions. Finally, this week Telisa learned...NOTHING!! "But let me explain. How could I learn something, if I already knew everything on the test?" Her smart teacher, Mr. Kellogg (and no she's not getting bribed to say this), taught me everything I needed to know to pass.
"Wiggle break!!" That's what Kayla replied when Telisa asked her what her favorite part of the day was. "I played Uno. We used regular rules. I played with Telisa and Stacie while everybody else was at the DJ party." Gabe learned that scientists are trying to invent a fake heart so when people are trying to have a heart transplant, and there aren't any real hearts available, they will have one so they won't die. "I found out from one of the science books on the reading table," explained Gabe. "It was all about how the heart pumps the blood through the body to different jobs." If you are interested, the book is titled, The Circulatory System by Darlene R. Stille. "Well, I was watching my friends at the DJ party while I was stuck inside playing Uno with my friends," complained Stacy. "Everybody was at the DJ party because they sold one or more boxes of Candy. I felt miserable because my friends were having fun and I wasn't," even though she was playing Uno with her friends.
