This week we have been working hard learning about many different subjects. One of the things we have been learning about is plants. We have learned what is in a plant cell like chloroplasts, cell wall, and nucleus. Each of us made a slide with onion peels and looked at the cells. The cells looked really cool! They looked like squares. We also learned that plants can make their own food by doing photosynthesis. Now our class is making plant posters. Each of us in our group has a part we are working on. The parts are plant cells, diagram of a plant, lifecycle, and photosynthesis. Another subject we have been working on is poetry. We went out to the football field and took pictures of things we wanted to write about. The next day we wrote prose, sentences, telling about our picture. Then yesterday we started writing our poem. Now we are finishing the poem and publishing it. Finally we have started to plan for our conferences. Most of us are ready to talk about math and reading. Next week we will finish and be ready to talk with you about what we have been doing all year. This is what we have been doing this week.
Thanks for reading,

Dear Parents,
How have you been doing this week? We have been having a great time. First we have been studying hard about our insects. We are trying to finish our posters by Tuesday of next week. Many of us are started and our posters will have lots of interesting information on them.
Math has been awesome this week. We have been practicing how to subtract 6 and 5. We also took a test this week and everyone did very well. In fact almost the entire class passed their fact test.
Another thing we did this week is we had a town hall meeting. At the town hall meeting we sang our continent song for the entire elementary. We sounded like rock stars! Everyone loved us and asked for our autographs.
As you can see we have had a busy week and are looking forward to the weekend.

Dear Parents,
Did you know we learned many different interesting things this week. If you continue to read you will be amazed by all our hard work.
First we have been working on six different bug species. The species we have been learning about are, Praying Mantis, Banded Alder Borer, Black Fly, Darkling Beetle, Orange Rumped Bee, Blue Eyed Dragon Fly, Camel Cricket, and Mosquito. We have found interesting facts like Praying Mantis are amazing killers of the insect world and Black Flies bite people and can put their larva into their skin. Also the Orange Rumped Bumble Bee makes honey and lives in nests.
We have also continued to work on writing our stories from our cartoons. Our stories are becoming extremely interesting and we will publish them on our blog so the world can read them. Hopefully we will make a book and send it home so you can read everyone’s work.
Finally we have just begun learning about x2 and reviewing x7. The class seems to be doing very well but we need to continue to study so that when we have our test next week we all pass. Today in math we learned about fractions and we used blocks to help us understand how different fractions are equal and how they can be added together. It was fun.
We hope to have a great weekend in the warm spring sunshine.
Sincerely,
Your Bug Expert

Dear Parents,
Did you know you need to send in box tops? Why you ask? Well if our class brings the most box tops we can win a party. So please send box tops. Other than box tops are week has been very full.
First we have continued to work on our colonial project. We are making poster to show how the colonists met their survival needs. Did you know that life would not be able to survive sun, water, and plants?
Second our class has been busy learning about how to multiple. Some of us passed our x7 tests. It is important that we keep studying. We have also been learning about division and how to subtract by two which is really easy.
Finally we are making our own cartoon so that we can create a story. It has been fun and we are enjoying figuring out how to make our comic.
All in all we have had a busy week working on math, writing, and our colonial work.
Sincerely,
Your Box Tops Child

Dear Parents,
Once again we have been extremely busy. Our brains are overflowing with our new knowledge.
First of all we learned about multiplication. We have been learning how to multiply by seven. For example 7 times 2 equals14. This is the same 7 + 7. We all need to practice our new facts every night in order to be awesome at them. At lunch we have practiced our facts by playing a free online video game called Times Attack.
Also most of us have finished our colonial letters and we are now talking about how the colonist survived. We are researching how they met their basic needs like getting food, shelter, water, and clothing. Each of us are going to make a poster exampling what we find. Our letters that are complete are posted on our blog. They are really good.
Another thing we are doing is a photo point. Our snow pile continues to shrink but we are having fun going out and taking its picture every morning. The photo point will be posted on our blog once we are done.
Finally in writing we are learning about how to write dialog. We have to use quotation marks to show when people are talking.
Anyway you should be aware that I am really tired and need to veg out all weekend because my brain hurts.

Dear Parents,
Did you know the snow is melting fast. We are measuring the snow melt by setting up a photo point. Photo points are one of the many interesting things we did this week. First of all today many of us completed painting our colonial maps. Some of us even finished labeling them. The map shows the land forms that are found in our colony. The maps are made out of dough made from flour and salt. You mix the flour and salt together with water and it makes dough that dries hard after a few days. We also have been working on our colonial letter. We had to research the location, climate, hardships, and jobs found in our colony. Then we are writing a letter to convince someone in England to come and live in our colony. Many of us are typing the letter on the computer and a few of us have already placed the letter on our blog. Now you know we have set up a photo point, made a dough map, and wrote a colonial letter. Wow what a lot of work.
Sincerely,
Your Colonial Timer

Our blog has some great pictures of our work.
