The Playaways are very helpful and it makes things easier to read. They have buttons to control the track and volume. They come in boxes and you have to use your own headphones to listen to the audio. The Playawyas are awesome because we love to listen to read alouds. We all love the Playaways.

On January 25, we attended the Masterpiece assembly. Throughout the whole show there was a puppet performance and our librarian, Mrs. Martin, read chapter 1. Masterpiece is part of the "One School, One Book" book club. Last year was Adventures of a South Pole Pig and the year before we read Kenny and the Dragon. The main characters are Marvin, his family, James, and the Pompaday family. Marin is a beetle and lives under the kitchen sink with his family. In chapter 1, Marvin had to go down the drain pipe to get Mrs. Pomapady's contact lens. He had to get it so the plumber wouldn't find his cousin, aunt, and uncle's house. After the assembly, our mascot, Okie, came to each classroom and waved and said hi! Also, our principal, Mr. LaFrance, came in to our class with a sled that had Marvin on it. Marvin carried the books on his back. There were enough novels for the whole school to get one. This week, Mrs. Foley let's us draw comics of the story while she read. Check them out! Let's find out what happens this year as we read Masterpiece together! by Lyla, Fallon, & Harsith
Dav Pilkey wrote and illustrated books including Captain Underpants, Dog Breath, Dog Man, Kat Kong, and Dogzilla. Kat Kong and Dogzilla both involved Dav's pets: Leia, Dwane, Rabies, Flash, and Blueberry. In Dog Breath, Hally, the dog had a major problem with her breath. Also, Dav Pilkey had a bad habit that in school . . . he wrote comics during class. He also suffered from ADHD when he was a kid. Dav lives with his wife in the Pacific Northwest. Dog Man is a popular book series he create. Our class enjoys it. The villain is Petey, and the heroes ares Dog Man, So-HO, and Lil Pete. Dav likes silly humor, and we do, too! That's why we love Dav Pilkey. by Jackson, Oliver, & Isaiah
littleBits are like Legos, but they use electricity. The pieces have magnets in them so they can connect. We have made alarms, cars with headlights, catapults, and a lot of other stuff. Our teacher gives us all new activities each time we do STEM. Our class was split up into groups of two or three. There was a blue group and a red group. If you were in a blue group, you had to use a 9-volt battery. If you were on a red team, you had to use a laptop for an energy source. Our class loved this activity. by Liam V., Liam P., & Jesiah
A week ago, we started reading trickster tales. A trickster tale is a genre in which somebody tricks someone else. There could be an animal or person. The trickster tales we read were Aunt Fox and the Fried Fish, Rabbit Races with Turtle, and Hungry Spider. Our favorite was Aunt Fox. You can learn a life lesson. One life lesson is don't brag from Rabbit Races with Turtle. Each story had a Reading Counts quiz. We thought they were fun. by Sara, Alayna, Charlee, & DaMia
Every third grader in District 87 got a dictionary from the Bloomington Rotary Club. They gave us a word to look up, snowflake. The dictionary had a map in the back. There was a sticker on it that said Rotary Club. They said not to take it off so we know where we got it from. We took them home and left them there forever. They were so heavy in our backpacks that we almost dropped them. When we got home we were really excited to look up more words. After winter break, we wrote thank you letters to them. We had so much fun with them. We like all the definitions and words in our new dictionaries!! |
