Week in Review 12/3 - 12/7

1. We just earned a compliment this morning because we were trying our best as Writers and Mathematicians. MA
2. We started the Geography Bee on Wednesday and so far Harrison is in the lead with 4 points out of 4 rounds. We will be entering our 5th round and it is getting harder because we are not receiving choices, so guessing it not as reliable as it has been. AA & MA
3. In reading workshop we are reading nonfiction and learning about JR books! We have been using Booksource and Scholastic Book Wizard to help us find JR books. In nonfiction, we are working on revving up our minds and finding the main ideas and supporting details of the text. If we do not have a pencil, we can use our hand to show the main idea and our fingers to show the supporting details. GS
4. Today, we came into the classroom and noticed that Ollie, Mrs. Newkirks class elf, was on our door. Her class was being naughty so he came over to hang with us for the day. AN
5. We started a new read aloud, "Tales of a Fouth Grade Nothing." It is mostly about a boy named Peter and his brother Fudge. Fudge gets into trouble ALL the time! So far, Fudge made his dad lose his important account with Juicy O and he also has stolen Peter's turtle and put him on his brothers arm to wake him up.  KC , WS & AA
6. We celebrated Jake's birthday yesterday and ate delicious cupcakes. Jake's mother, brother, and sister came in to celebrate. They read, "How To Train Your Dragon." CO
7. Miss Sproch is not giving us reminders to listen with attention anymore. We are responsible for doing this on our own now. If we aren't listening with attention, we will lose some model citizen time. RB
8. Julia gave us a book, "In a Glass Grimmly" that was signed by the author. It is a museum only copy. GS
9. Miss Sproch decorated our class with Christmas lights to get into the holiday spirit. HP
