Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss! The students saw the video of, 'Oh, The Places You'll Go' this morning, to honor Dr. Seuss. There is a great message there: choosing friends wisely, knowing the diference between right and wrong and as we get older we all at one time or another find that sometimes, life is not fair, but we soldier on.
It has been an extremely busy yet exciting week. I'm enjoying grading the Civil War Hero reports and we've started reading them aloud to the class with many questions from our audience afterwards. Yesterday we had the privilege of attending the fourth grader's Living Museum. We were able to talk to Jedediah Smith, Amelia Earhart, Joaquin Murrieta and many other colorful characters which made California history what our state is now. I personally never knew that Amelia Earhart flew out of Oakland, California on her last and final flight. We were also treated to the fifth grader's version of the U.S. Constitution or Birdietution as one of the groups called it. We learned about the three branches of government: the legislative, judicial and executive.
1. Madeline - I liked working on our landscapes in art, music, learning more about Guido de Arezzo, the Living Museum, and the U.S. Constitution in Miss Calcagno's classroom. Jedediah Smith, in the Living Museum, even had the bear that bit him with him! Emily Leyfur in 5th grade, drew some wonderful pictures for their Constitution project. I also liked celebrating my birthday with my class.
2. Ivan - I liked the Birdietution in 5th grade. It was funny. I also liked our U.S. States sticker book, learning the song, 'Way Up North to Alaska', while we were in Alaska and Nathan's brother, Liam in the Living Museum.
3. Kenna - I liked music a lot, learning the keys on the staves, the 5th graders Constitution was funny and the Living Museum was really great!
4. Nathan - I really liked the Living Museum, my brother, Joaquin Murrieta and Amelia Earhart were cool! I also liked the US Constitution project that the 5th graders did and finishing my report on Abraham Lincoln.
5. Aidan - I liked George Hearst and Leland Stanford in the Living Museum, I also liked the computer videos of China and the Birdietution in 5th grade.
6. Vicki - I like the new music teacher's voice, P.E., art and doing the hula when we were in the state of Hawaii. We weren't really in Hawaii, but we were learning about that state!
7. Renee - I liked the stickers in our State Book and learning about the states. I also liked doing our landscapes in art, the new music teacher's piano, taking my science quiz and doing the hula when we were learning about Hawaii.
8. Stefan - I always like P.E. and playing Graveyard! I also liked the Living Museum, Jedediah Smith travelled a lot! And I liked taking my quiz in science.
9. Liam - I liked estimating in math this week, the new song at assembly, reading my report on Frederick Douglas to the class, the Living Museum, learning and watching the videos of each state that we are learning about and art.
10. Oliver - I liked taking my science quiz. I am happy that Mrs. Wendlandt gave us plenty of time to take it. I also liked P.E., art and learning about the states.
Rohan, we hope that you are enjoying your time with your grandparents. We missed you today.
