Well its when the whole United States try's to take the most AR tests!And we try to beat last years record do you want to know what the record is ok it's 3,581 ,992.Thats a lot isn't that ! It was fun making it.

Diving Into the Table of Contents ...


What did Alex think?


How about Kaitlyn?
Today I got to make a tabel of contents on a book. The book did not have a tabel of
conten's . My teacher askt me to make one. So I did. Some of my friends did one to.
It was cool and Osum. The book was calld African Elephants. We all did the same book I like to
do that. It was cool.

Mackenzie's take on the whole thing?
Today i made a table of contents it was fun and amazing .When you do a table of contents you have to think of some chapters for the book .some books are hard and easy and in the MIDDLE!
Normally In a nonfiction books have a table of contents and it tells what the number of the chapter. Do you like to read becose I do!

Today we learned about George Washington and his contributions to our country. What better way to tie in a craft? Make the cherry tree that he chopped down with Red Hots and construction paper, add a silhouette of Washington himself with lined paper on it, and have students recall the facts they learned! Too fun!

Play-Doh Fractions

I Learned fractions and we did a play-doh thing and I did a fraction with play-doh and the fraction I did 1out of 8 and the reason It was a triangle was because it was suppose to be a pizza pie. that is why it is a triangle. It is so so so so so so so much FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to try agin because it was not the same size. There is a pitcher it looks fun doesnt it. Because it is by the way my name is Hannah. I really really liked this fraction thing.

Brush, Brush, Brush Your Teeth!

Thanks to Pinterest, of course, I found this cute hands on activity to show the power of brushing your teeth. I soaked hard boiled eggs all night long in coke and explained that this is a lot like their teeth. We brainstormed how we could get all that gunk off our teeth and the importance of it. Students then tried to brush the coke off the "teeth".

I think it was a success as I saw many disgusted faces and I heard lots of, "I am SO brushing my teeth tonight!"

Mackenzie's view of the experiment:

I learned that if you don't brush your teeth you can get a cavudy and you have to go to the dentis and have it fill it in. And I thought it was fun and excsiting. I thought it was awesome and the Best thing ever.I thought it was fun. I thought it was best thing!
