5. Senora Guillen came in to teach us Spanish yesterday. She taught us a song called, "Bobby and Maria." HP
6. In writing workshop we started brainstorming ideas about our character by thinking about who they are on the inside and what they look like on the outside. We also were thinking about the attitude they have toward themselves and the attitudes others have toward them. HS, RB
7. We started going to Mr. Seek's class for Science. We are studying food chains and food webs. We looked at what happens if you take one piece away from a system and how it will affect it. MA
8. Some of us got new partners in math. In math, we are researching how many kids can be in a group if there are 100 kids and 13 chaperones. We are trying to use efficient strategies and models to show our thinking. We determined the differences between models and strategies and we are also trying to figure out which model will help us to solve division! CO. HP, FH
9. The Veterans came to our school on Monday and we asked questions about their experiences and they answered us based on their experiences. DS

11. In Ida B., Ida is trying to apologize to Claire by going to the bathroom at the same time as her. She wants to be in a private place because she doesn't want to be humiliated by everyone. When Ida goes to the bathroom quickly, finished her business, opened the stall door and was standing directly in front of Claire! What will happen next... HP
12. We had DreamBox players of the week. Our current top players are Garrett, Michael, Frank, Harrison, and Cristian. Who will be the top player of the week? How many hours did you play this week? RB & MW
13. We started our math moments journal this week. This is where we have to find real math problems in our lives! We have the whole week to find a moment and our parents can help point out moments. GS & AA
