This week we had our Wisconsin Forward Testing.We did the math and English/ Language Arts part. Today we are having a pizza party from the teachers for our outstanding work on the tests. Our social studies projects are due April 13th. We are learning about important people from the Revolutionary War.  In science we are learning about Newton's laws of motion.
This week we made ABC stories. An ABC story is a story that every new sentence you have to go in alphabetical order.  We had to make an ABC story for a fairy tale that we chose.
In art we are starting to use paper mache. Last art class we put a bunch of newspaper together and put tape on it. This class we will put paper mache around it.
During Lent we are reading a book called The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. Every day we read one chapter and the day after we read we must answer a question for the chapter. Whoever has the right answer goes into a drawing to win a Jolly Rancher.
Remember earlier in the year when we read Wonder?  Now, every day the blogger must put up a new precept from the book 365 Days of Wonder, a book that has precepts for every day of the year. Today's precept is Life is like a roller coaster with all its ups and downs.
On the 13th of April we have a half day and we get out at 11:30  to begin our spring break. In May we have our Spring program.

On Monday, we had music and Spanish. We got into the Blues music unit. On Tuesday, it was Mardi Gras and Mrs. Caporale gave everyone in the class a triple stuffed Oreo because we just finished our opinion essay. On Wednesday, it was Ash Wednesday and everyone got ash crosses on their foreheads. We also started the Iditarod project.  There was a "pep rally" and students from the school participated in some events such as the human Hungry Hungry Hippos game. On Thursday, we went on typing.com and did more of the Iditarod project. We had more music and talked more about the blues and switched seats. Mrs. Caporale introduced us to a book about a bunny made of  china named Edward Tulane. We did a science February weather graph. We had gym with Mr. Peterson's class! It was also Dr. Seuss's birthday. On Friday, it was the last day of Jump Rope for Heart. We chose what we wanted to play with as long as it involved jumping. There was a raffle in gym today for our class and John, Libby, and Chanse won. In art class, Mr.Kilps showed us about how to make things out of clay. We had a Social Studies test today.  I hope you enjoyed this week's blog post. ;)
