Hello, this is Marissa and Alanna writing what we did this week!
This week was Red Ribbon Week and spirit week!
On Tuesday it was twin day! You had to wear matching clothing with your friend!
On Wednesday, we dressed up wacky with mismatched clothes. Especially Alanna.
On Wednesday we had market day and we bought things that second grade made with fake money. They did a really good job at making the things they sold. They also did nails, face painting, and tattoos which were really good.
On Halloween, it was cool seeing all the different costumes and how creative people were. We played Halloween Math Bingo and Halloween Jot Thoughts. We got cookies, ring pops, chips, and we passed out the candy grams which were either a popcorn hand or a lollipop. Alanna tricked everybody by giving them a little package with a candy wrapper and one piece of candy.
It was a super fun week because all week we had spirit days so we could dress up.
Have a Happy Halloween and get a lot of candy!!!!!
Hi! This is Hannah and Will! Here is our Friday Update about what we did this week:
Hannah: On Monday we used chromebooks with the Kinder buddies.
We showed the kindergarteners how to type and they wrote their cute
little stories. Then we read them picture books! ;-)
Will: So at star academy we have kind kids club or KKC so kid president declared it is socktober. (Here is a link to the Socktober website.) We are having a warm things drive to help the homeless.
We did sidewalk chalk where the parents pick us up at we had to write kind things like have a good day or you’re awesome and we are doing random acts of kindness.
Mrs. Hines had us write with sidewalk chalk, some kinds messages!
Will: Author Jenny Lundquist came to our 5th grade class and talked about her books Seeing Cinderella, Plastic Polly, Princess With The Opal Mask, and The Opal Crown.
She talk to us also about being a writer and how long it takes to write a book.
Hannah: We had girls lunch with Mrs. Hines and Mrs. Curtis. They talked about friendship and thinking before you speak, and things that friends do, that may hurt, and how to avoid it. Also, we talked about sincere apologies, and what they can do.
They had us watch a video about kindness and how words can hurt.
So then we picked a partner and wrote a nice adjective about them.
(artistic beautiful: above and kind, witty and creative on the bottom)
Everybody had good stuff to say.
We get out early every day next week!
Anyways, don’t forget spirit week is next week! It is going to be RAD!

Hi this is Mimi and Arielle. We are so awesome - we are writing this blog for you!
This is our ghost door designed by Maddy and created by Maddy, Mia, and Karoliena. We did a vote with the class to choose which door design we would put up on our door. The whole school was doing it, and my personal favorite is Mrs. Luhrsen’s doors. She had some kind of creature with a monocle and a leech on her other door. You have to see it for yourself to actually know what I’m talking about.

October is the month 5th graders get to be in Kind Kids Club. 1st graders did it in September. 5th graders have to do at least 20 kind thing to help people out. 1st graders had to do at least 10 kind things.

Hi, it's Mrs. Rohrbacker now! I would like to introduce our Wonder point of view trailers. We worked really hard on these! Wonder is a book about August, a boy with facial deformities who goes to school for the first time. In our class, we broke into 9 groups and each group made a trailer about the book from a particular character's point of view. Here they are!
Via's point of view - Via is August's older sister.
Miranda's point of view - Miranda is Via's best friend, and has known August since he was a baby.
August's point of view - August is the main character in Wonder.
Summer's point of view - Summer is a girl who immediately befriends August when he goes to school.
Jack's point of view - Jack is one of August's good friends at school.
Mr. Tushman's point of view - Mr. Tushman is the principal at Beecher Prep, August's middle school.
Justin's point of view - Justin is Via's boyfriend.
Julian's point of view - Julian is the boy who bullies August but later realizes he has made a mistake.
Mrs. Albans point of view - Mrs. Albans is Julian's mother. She is against August being at Beecher Prep.
