Reader's Workshop
I’m Dardyn and I am Jasper.
In reading we are learning about The Revolutionary War. You guys are probably thinking do you guys research on the internet? Well no we use books instead of the internet. In reading you read so much but you also learn new things there's even a book about George Washington's mom. There were easy books and hard chapter books. We started with the easy books and worked our way up. We also identified text features for these books. The text features are compare and contrast,problem and solution,chronological,sequence,and description.
Writer's Workshop
Book called “ Fox “ it was good and held an important message. We learned how it was important to keep good friends even if there’s a better offer. We learned how you have to find a book you love to write a literary essay. We made sure to know every detail. We even did a script and the teachers performed. To know more on how to find traits read the next paragraph! _Payton
In writing we learned about how to find character traits and how to find text evidence from a type book we are reading. We are reading Fox as the class and it is about a dog named Dog who is blind in one eye and about a bird named Magpie who lost one wing. They become very good friends. Then fox comes along...
Math
Recently we started Unit 6. Unit 6 is mostly about division. We also learned how to use a protractor to measure angles. But back to division. We learned a division strategy called partial Quotients. For example To do 72/4 you put the 72 on the inside and you box that then you put the 4 on the outside. So Then you do a basic fact like 4*10 because you know that does into 72 at least 1 time. So 4*10 is 40 so then you do 72-40 which is 32. Then you can do 4*5 which is 20 and you know that goes into 32. Then you do 32-20 which is 12. Then you do 4*3 which is 12 so you would do 12-12 which is 0. Then you add all the numbers you multiplied together which is 18. Also sometimes there is a remainder. So, If you have a problem while doing partial quotients that has a remainder, you won’t be able to find any more problems that will go into your number. So, Whatever you subtract to and can’t get any more is your remainder. But otherwise, that is partial quotients. We hope you enjoyed reading about our math classes! Stay cool everyone! PS, Welcome to the world Kaubin children Cole and Leah!
Science
In Science we have been learning about environments and food chains. An ecosystem is a type of environment. A environment is a way to describe a place sometimes for example a swamp has a wet or a swampy environment because a swamp is wet or swampy being a swamp. Another way to describe an environment is some sort of place where a animal or human could live.
Social Studies
By: Jared, Jack and Logan
Hi my name is Jared, hi my name is Jack and my name is Logan. In Social Studies we have started our Amazing Race unit. The first region was the Northeast. Some places we learned about were Hershey Pennsylvania, Erie Canal New York, Washington D.C,Boston Massachusetts and Montpelier Vermont. The second region we visited Southeast region. Some places we visited was the John F Kennedy Space Center , Jamestown Virginia, Everglades, Appalachian Mountains, Memphis Tennessee, New Orleans Louisiana,Natchez Mississippi, Montgomery Alabama,and a oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. We also had things called roadblocks these made it so you took longer to get there. Some of the road blocks were we had to re wrap Hershey kisses and one time we had to make a paper airplane and make it go a certain distance. Also one was were you had to pick a bandied out and if you got healthy you could stick the band aid anywhere on your body and continue but if you got unhealthy bandied that said malaria you had to put it on your head and wait three minutes before you can continue . Also we are going to visit the rest of the regions soon.

Club Kaubin and New Teacher!
Hi our names are Sara and Tess and we are going to talk to you about 2 things! One is that we had Club Kaubin and we got a new teacher. First we will talk about Club Kaubin. They way we earn it is we get our compliment chain down to the floor! The compliment chain is a paper cain and we add paper once we get a compliment like in art or gym and then we add it to the chain. We were allowed to bring in anything we want like ipads, nintendo switches and other things. It was and hour long and we could do whatever we want. Now about our new teacher… Our new teachers name is Ms.Hallenbeck. She is nice we are so happy to have such a nice new teacher. Club kaubin was super fun!
Talent Show
Today we will be talking about the talent show. The talent show is full of many acts of students from Lizzy Haddon in grades 3rd to 5th. This year’s theme is through the decades. The first act was called 9 to 5. It is about people how go to from 9:00 to 5:00. I liked the typewriter in the song. Very cool. The second 4th grade act was Wanna Dance. It was about a girl wearing a bow in her hair, rainbow dress, and matching bands on each wrist.The third 4th grade act was What Time is It. It was from the High School Musical. It's about kids who can’t wait for summer to come. The next fourth 4th grade act was called Game On. It was about all of the video games through the decades from Pong (the first video games you could play on you TV) to Fortnite. Oh, I almost forgot: The MC’s! In the first half of the talent show the MC’s were Jack McGroarady, Gavin Mceever, Vandon Schaeffer(Me), Sasha young, And Elizabeth Breck.
Immigration Ceremony and Revolutionary War Museum
This month we recently went to the American Revolution museum. We had so much fun! We learned all about the people who fought in the war, we also saw immigrants that came from another place far away. Then immigrants came up and took their certificate and said “your are now part of America.” Then at the American Revolution museum we saw pictures and a lot of other people who were at the war. Many people were killed. We researched people who were on ships, in tents aka George Washington Over all we had so much fun!
Mock Trial Field Trip
This week we went to the court of appeals and we got to perform a fake trial about the book Because of Winn Dixie and one of the characters Otis gets in trouble for playing music or disturbing the peace. The defense Attorneys are saying that he was just trying to keep the animals from causing a bunch more ruckus. The prosecutors are trying to convince the jury that Otis’s music is disturbing the peace. Both sides will have equal time to try to convince the jury that their side was right. Then we went to the court of appeals to see what would have happened if he had lost (he didn't). Hold your applause. Okay let it out.
