October 15 News

October 15 News by Cole and Sara
This week we celebrated Thanksgiving. Everyone brought in a vegetable. I brought in broccoli (Cole). We washed our hands and cut up the vegetables and made soup. We also made bread and butter. It was delicious and fantastic!
While the food was cooking we wrote about Thanksgiving in our classroom in our writing journals.
This week we each got our own pen pal. We worked with the hard-of-hearing students from
Pepper's class. We wrote letters on special "Domo" paper and made handprints using blue paint to give to our pen pals. My pen pal's name is Chloe (Sara) and mine is Benjamin (Cole).
Mr. Deacon taught us about urban and rural communities and we painted rural paintings and we glued newspaper rectangles on paper to make urban art.
We recorded us singing our Room 5 song (just click on the triangle below and listen to us singing!).





We made addition tables in math. It is like using a paper calculator.
We went to the gym and had Fun Atheletics Day.
We started to write stories about if our pencils could talk. My pencil would say it would cheat on the spelling test (Cole). My pencil said, "Can I have something to eat?" (Sara). Of course these are fiction stories!
Good bye from Sara and Cole
