 We learned about really cool dances at an assembly!

During the past two weeks...

We had a Veterans' Day assembly. Many veterans came in and talked to us. Our guest speaker  talked about what it is like to be in the army. They did a really cool flag ceremony. 

We also had a dancing assembly that was really cool. We learned about different dances! They taught us about hip hop dance, ballet, tap and jazz!!! 

This week we had an assembly with an author named Ethan Long. He talked about how to create a book. He drew a tiger named Timmy to show us how to make an in-progress drawing. He was very funny. 

We had reading buddies today. We read a book about the first Thanksgiving. Then we wrote a poem with our reading buddies using our five senses. After that we shared them with our classes.

We made homes for our Native American unit. We're excited to test it out.

This week in class...

We studied for our history test on the Native Americans and how they came to America. We had a history test and after the test, we got to get a packet and were assigned regions to study. We got into our groups and on the inside of our packets we had resources that were in our region. All the groups decided on a house design that fit their region and then went to the back table and got what they needed to start building their house. We built houses and then picked a region to test them in. We find out today which houses worked best in their regions.

On Wednesday, we Skyped our buddies in Canada and asked each other questions about Fish In A Tree! It was very exciting! There was a riddle that some were able to solve but some weren't. The riddle was this: There is a bag of grain, a chicken, a wolf, and you on 1 side of a river. You have to get everything to the other side alive. You have only a small boat that only you and 1 thing can go in at a time. You can not leave the wolf alone with the chicken because it will become lunch. You can not leave the chicken alone with the grain because it will become lunch. How do you get everything to the other side? Here is there correct answer: Take the chicken over. Then take the grain over and bring the chicken back. Then take the wolf over and come back. The wolf will not eat the grain. Then take the chicken over and you are done!
