What A Busy Two WeeksThe last two weeks have been very busy. This week it is Parent Conference week, so we get out of school at 11:55am. The teachers have to be able to get ready for the meetings, so we get out early. This is an extremely busy week because we have to read Where the Red Fern Grows, do math and take our Reading test on Friday. Beach Party Dance-a-thonLast Friday was our Dance-a-thon. The theme this year was beach party. Friday was also the hottest day in Camarillo History. Camarillo broke its previous record... It was 108!! At the dance party it felt like we were actually at the beach! After we finished dancing and went outside, everyone got even hotter! We all started grabbing the water. We drank almost all of it before we got back to the classroom. At 2:00pm we went to the MPR and took our class picture. That was so fun. The photographer took about 7 regular pictures and then 3 funny ones. ;) Where is Fall?Last week Camarillo broke an all time record for the hottest day. The old record was 103 degrees and the new record is now 108 degrees. It moved up 5 degrees! Wow! When is fall coming? The leaves are changing, but the climate is not. For the last few weeks it has been up to 97, 98, 99, 100, and 108 degrees. We don’t know when fall weather is coming, but we have heard that there will be Santa Anna winds coming soon and with this heat, this is going to be a nightmare! New Math ModuleThis week we started Module 2. So far it is very easy. We have taken 2 quizzes for lessons 1, 2, 3, and 4. When we finish half of the module it will be pretty easy for most of us. Makerspace TourThis last Thursday, we had principals and teachers come to our school and take a tour of our Makerspace. These principals and teachers were from surrounding school districts (Ventura, Rio, and Port Hueneme). Ms. Fargo lead a lesson on Stop Motion Animation. We have done this before, so we got to teach our Little Buddies how to use the Lego Movie Maker app. A few groups showed the principals and teachers some of our cardboard creations. It looked like they were loving the Makerspace! Our class is thinking that they will want to make a Makerspace at their schools too. We had a fun time and we hope we get to show off this room again soon! Goodbye MaxOne of our classmates, Max, is moving to Orange County today. We will miss him so much because he is a great friend, is nice to everyone around him, and is very funny. He is wearing a white tshirt today and is letting everyone sign it. We hope he makes tons of friends at his new school and we hope he never forgets us. Hopefully we can Skype him sometime to see how he is doing.
Hope to see you soon, Max. Have a great time! Make some new friends like us! ;) What a Busy Week!We recently found out that we are going to be doing a book report. Many students already have their books picked out and are busy reading. In Science, we finished learning about plant structures and functions. We will have a Science test next week. On Monday, we planted our own beans. We are watering and observing them daily. The cotton the beans are placed in is turning brown and the beans are losing their protective coating and are starting to grow. We are also did a celery experiment. In Math, we have been learning how to multiply and divide decimals. For example, 0.084 ÷ 7 = 0.012. We had our End of Module Test yesterday. Ms. Fargo will have them back to us on Monday and we will be starting Module 2. P.E We are very excited to get two days of P.E. with Coach Stewart. We have been playing kickball and 4-way soccer. 4-way soccer was pretty fun, but the way we played it was very simple. We all were on two teams, so we had to score on 2 goals because it was 4-way soccer. Two people were blocking two goals, so it was kind of crazy!!! Little Buddies Our Little Buddies are in Mrs. Adrian’s second grade class. We have met with our Little Buddies twice now. On Wednesday, we met with them and made cards that told them all about us and we learned all about the Little Buddies. The cards had our favorite animals, our favorite color, our favorite sport, our favorite food, and last but not least, we both had to draw self portraits. Mrs. Adrian was sick today (in case you are reading, we hope you feel better) and could not join us in the Makerspace with our Buddies. We helped our Little Buddies make rural, urban, and sub-urban landscapes out of cardboard. MakerSpace So far in the Makerspace we have been building and participating in the Cardboard Challenge.
