Book club

Book club is when a group of people read the same book together. Today the book I'm going to tell you about is called "Frindle". It's about a kid named Nick who changes the word pen into the word frindle. And then the whole school starts using the word frindle instead of pen. And then the whole state hears about this word and then they start using it and then the whole WORLD starts using it.  It's a great book. You should read it!!

Recess

Today at recess I was on the bars with 3 other kids. It was so fun! I even learned something new. Lots of kids say that recess is their favorite part of the day but I think that recess is my second favorite part of the day! On the bars at recess my friends were doing lots of tricks. One of my friends can spin around the bar more than 3 times. Isn't that cool?  I really wish that I could do it but I'm practicing it.  I'm so close!!! Maybe you could try! And if you don't get it the first time keep practicing!!!

Read aloud

Today we read two chapters in read aloud. The book we're reading is called Ragweed. It's about a mouse named ragweed who goes to a place called amper ville. Ragweed mets lots of other mice but there one problem. There's a cat that lives there and his name is silver sides. Silver sides is a really mean cat. And I'm guessing that his favorite food is mice. It's a great book. And here's some of the characters that are mice: dip stick, ragweed, lug nut, clucth, windsheld, blinker and fog light. And the two cats are named: gray bar and silver sides. You should read it! It's the best book ever!!!!

Reading is cool

Today we were reading our easy books! Easy books are books that aren't chapter books so we call them easy books. They are really fun! At reading time we usually sit at our tables but if we are good then we get to sit around the room. But if you're not good you don't get to sit around the room. Good example: I get my work done on time with out reminders. Bad example: I was talking too much and I had 4 reaminders to stay quite. But today there were lots of people that got to sit around the room. We like Fridays because we get to sit around the room.

P.E

Wednesday in P.E we got to play castle ball. Castle ball is when there are two teams and they both have a castle made out of hola hoops. And they have pins set up right next to the hola hoops. You try to knock the pins down on the other team before the other team knocks your pins down first. When you knock all the pins down on the other teams side you try to hit their castle. And last but not least after you knock the castle down you win...THE GAME!!!

Multiplication

Today in math we did multiplication. It was our 3rd or 4th day doing it. This is how we did it. We had a piece of paper ( with lots of stamps on it) and we wrote numbers in the corners of the stamps. Then we had to cut out the stamps in to big chunks. Then we had to glue the  big chunk of stamps on it. Then we had to multiply the numbers. It was really hard. After that we got to color on the paper we worked on!!!

Magnets

Today in science we got to use magnets. It was really fun! We used lots of different things. We tried to get metal to stick to the other objects. Some of the things that stuck to the magnet were a close pen, a nail, a washer, and a brad. A brad is a type of metal that sticks to a lot of things. The thing that was the most attracted to metal was the washer and the nail. Lots of people were trying to push the two magnets together but they wouldn't budge. And last but not least the force we used today was called magnetism.
