Then we had lunch and looked at all the exhibits, there was a weather exhibit where there was a tornado type thing also in the weather where it showed a tsunami in a big tub of water! Another exhibit was the hampster wheel exhibitit was cool beause you got to run on a human size hampster wheel! There where so many exhibits and it was ssssssooooooo cool=http://!

GREENBRIAR IS AWESOME

Article posted April 25, 2011 at 08:23 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 504

The smell of new expo markers filled the air! It was the first week of school and I was so excited because I go to Greenbriar and it is the best school ever and I’ll tell you why!

Greenbriar is cool because we have musicals. Musicals are fun because we get to do them in 4th and 5th grade so if you don’t get the part you want one year you always have another year. Mrs. Jacobson our music teacher who is also director of the musicals is very nice she understands if you didn’t get a chance to memorize your lines and she gives you a couple more days!
Another reason why Greenbriar is fun is because we get 2 playgrounds and if in K-2nd grade you get tired of the playground, next year you get to go to a different playground. The other good thing about having 2 playgrounds is if on 1 playground the school is having construction done then you don’t have to miss recess.
The last reason why Greenbriar is awesome is that we have super duper nice teachers, they understand if you where really busy the night before and you didn’t get to do your homework then they are nice and they give you another night!

Those are just a COUPLE reasons why Greenbriar is awesome! Gotta go recess time!

Markowitz

Article posted April 18, 2011 at 05:54 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 459

The Markowitz family is a jewish family that lived in Russia and is immigrating to america because of pogroms. Pogroms are people who do not like jews so they team up against jews and wreck their stores and stuff like that. So the Marks family decided to immigrate to America. The boat ride was a nasty ride everyone was seasick, you where crammed into the steerage of the boat, and you couldn't communicate with anyone because you didn't speak the same langauge. After the boat ride they went to Ellis Island to get checked to see if they had any sickness. Then they went to America to start a new life they had to get jobs in factory's which was really hard. Eventually they adjusted, Sasha the oldest son got married, and Nathen,and emma went to school!

Vocab. (soccer)

Article posted March 25, 2011 at 05:13 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 460

I love soccer you sort of venture out when you start it because you can get really hurt but besides that it is very fun! I was in a quandary when I was in 2 grade because I sort of liked soccer but I didn’t know if I wanted to start travel! In soccer you have to be very keen because sometimes you don’t know where the ball went but if you are very keen you can see the ball even when normal people can’t. I play midfield and I like to posses the ball but I like to pass if somebody tries to steel the ball from me! My coach tries to elucidate how to do a couple of plays to us but when we actually get it he gets really excited! When we are on the field we scrutinize the WHOLE field just in case an opponent we could scarcely see is sneaking up the field for a pass! I love soccer you would be able to tell if you came to my house we have plenty of soccer balls!!!

Last week

Article posted March 14, 2011 at 08:10 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 586

Last week we finished ISATS and we usually do that in the early morning so we got that over with pretty quickly so that took a lot of pressure off the whole class. After that we had P.E. with Mrs. Edwards class and then read Night of the Twisters and did our reveiw sheet. Then we went to lunch and recess after that we read ind. and then had science which we started studing for our test. Then we went to music and worked on the musical. Then we packed up and went home! Then the rest of the week I was sick!!!

The Week

Article posted February 17, 2011 at 05:37 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 549

This week we worked on a ton of things but here are the most important!

In math we started learning about fractions. We learned about the improper fractions, the mixed number fractions, and that you can find if a fractions is in simplest form. You know if a fraction is in simples form if there are no common factor in numerator/denominator.

We're also learning about weather. Ginger Zee came and told us about how thunder storms and tornados are formed. But in school we learned about rain, clouds, air pressure, precipitation, anemometer, wind vane, barometer, humidity, hygrometer, and rain gauge!

We also learned about colonies. We watched a video on the region are colony is in. And we made a script on our colony. We wrote about the jobs, colonial life, geography, religion, slavery, government, and a couple other stuff that I don't remember! and we are going to make the script into a voice thread!

My week was awesome!:)

Frindle=Finished

Article posted February 14, 2011 at 07:02 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 547

I just finished Frindle. I think there are a couple lessons in this book.
#1. Keep going no matter what!
#2. Try your hardest!
#3. Even when times are hard keep your head up and they will get better!
I liked this book because you never knew what was going to happen next! You would of never expected for Nick to go on T.V. or for Mrs. Granger to call herself the villain! I loved this book I would recommend this book to anybody that is creative!!!

Ginger Zee

Article posted February 11, 2011 at 08:28 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 501

Today Ginger Zee came to our school to talk to us about weather. She is a meteorologist that means she studies weather! She also told us the four basic steps on how to predict the weather. She works on NBC5 weather channel. Ginger told us that we can send her pictures of our class and she will put us on T.V. Once when she was 8 she was play ing on the beach and her little brother started screaming because there was a water spout in the ocean and Ginger said she just starred at the spout until her mother said she had to go inside! I learned that there is a lot more math and science in weather than I thought! I can't wait to go on T.V.

Frindle (12-14)

Article posted February 7, 2011 at 07:01 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 592

I just read chapters 12-14 Frindle. Everyones all over Nick because he made up the new word (Frindle). I predicted that he is wishing he DIDN'T make up the word right now because he doesn't want to be the center of attention. Nick also got to go on to t.v. and I thought that people all over the U.S.A. will start using the word Frindle. I also think Mrs. Granger still hasn't given up on there fight I think she just acts like it.I can't wait to keep reading!
