Over Fall Break, I went to Seattle, Washington. It was so fun. I went with my mom, dad, little brother, and grandparents. We were very lucky, it hardly rained at all. The one day it rained hard, we were inside for most of it.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We went to so many amazing places. We did lots of cool things. We didn’t even have to stay in a tiny little hotel room. We rented out a house. On our first day, we went on an awesome boat ride, where a guide told us all about Seattle.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
In the next few days, we went to tons of places. One of them was the aquarium. The aquarium had lots of cool fish. It also had things like otters, seals and much more. One of the otters spent the whole time right up against the glass. It was so cute. A few days later, we went inside the biggest building in the world. It was a Boeing plane factory and it was so cool.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We also went to the Space Needle. From the top, you can see everything! We went once in the day, then came back at night to see Seattle at night. On the rainy day, we spent lots of time in the Seattle Library. There were so many books. I was bummed that we couldn’t check out any books. I love reading.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
The Pike Place Market was amazing. There were so many cool things. Me, my parents, and my little brother bought some delicious berries. My grandma bought a moonscape(a type of sandscape). It’s beautiful. We saw the gum wall. I had to take off my retainers so I could chew some gum to put on the wall. There was also an awesome cheese factory, and we saw the first Starbucks!</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I loved my trip to Seattle. I didn’t want to leave. I am 100% sure that I will be going back one day. I don’t know when, but I know I will, at least one more time.</div>

We've participated in team STEM challenges.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We made the longest paper chains possible using one piece of paper and one yard of tape. </div>

Our class has had fantastic independent reading stamina right from the first day of school! We spend about 20-30 minutes reading our books every day. Never is flexible seating more important than when we choose the perfect spot to curl up with a good book! </div>

We've also been learning about reading genres. After defining them and looking at lots of examples (and having book raffles to determine who gets to read the examples first), we talked about our genre preferences and created some genre goals. It's great to have genres we like the most, but we also want to constantly stretch ourselves to try out new genres we may not read as much! </div>

We've started having Community Circle every week. During Community Circle, we have the opportunity to talk through problem solving and deal with things that are important to us. Ms. Hines, our amazing counselor, kicked that off with us the first week of school, and she also came and read <i>What Do You Do With a Problem? </i>to our class. </div>

Before Thanksgiving break, we finished <i>Crenshaw</i>, a new book by Katherine Applegate.<br />
<br />
<img class="irc_mi" height="393" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioJbYdL6ISBYwCg70AJWqt5fi6nRDwGAZ2WbQjARkFwHat4VmHfi0TAdkyhFBg1ThIyThnzMaTdD1Xl8Fc4Zk1jm3vphASHFiI2qIHlhpnQaRJPgaMjqpe7XkfvlDG_xkosH5-2bmjR_0/s1600/Crenshaw_Final.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="267" /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The book centers on Jackson, a boy whose family struggles to make ends meet and has spent some time living in their car in the past. When times are tough, Jackson's imaginary friend, Crenshaw, a giant cat, always shows up. This is a touching and thought provoking book. </div>

Anne has a very wild imagination and her tongue talks for two! She meets her bosom friend, Diana Barry and the two have many exciting adventures together. They especially like giving different places different names, like : Lake of shining waters, Idlewild, Lover’s Lane, and many more names. During class she is called carrots because of her hair, by Gilbert Blythe, and she breaks her slate over his head! Believe it or not she doesn’t talk to him for five years! This is a very good book and I would rate this book a million stars!</span></span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127736665367950512.post-44347575996698456302015-09-01T08:57:00.001-07:002015-09-01T09:02:18.814-07:00The One and Only Ivan Review by Emma <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">

I had a wonderful time and a memorable experience during my first camping trip.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
</span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">First, I was feeling excited but nervous because this is my first time to travel without my family. A day before the trip, I was packing my supplies like my sleeping bag, shoes, toothbrush and especially my allergy medications. The campsite was located in Running Deer, Marysville California. It was a 3 - day camping retreat last June 31 to Aug 2, 2015</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
</span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

We are a group of boys who help our church to learn to be responsible and independent. We are supposed to meet at 11:00 A.M to 12:00 P.M. Once everyone was there, we got all our things and put them inside the cars. I was feeling brave when we were leaving. I saw amazing sceneries like mountains, forest, lakes and much more. I’ve seen different animals like deer, bobcats, owls, woodpeckers and others. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>

We set up our four tent then got the campfire started. We got our belongings and put them in our tents. We then got to do our activities! We went hiking, swimming, played, football and soccer. I was brave to go hiking with my slippers only. It was painful but I made it to the top. I felt happy,brave,awesome and fun that I got to do a lot of cool things. Then we also ate delicious food like steak, burgers, hotdogs and more!</span></div>

I was sad that we were leaving but we can go again another time. In conclusion, everyone should go camping on their first camping trip like me. It can be tough at first but later on it would be FUN! </span></div>

Thanks to Jaden and his dad for giving me a ride.</span></div>

And with just one loud knock, Jaden opened the door with a big smile :). After a few minutes of wait for his dad and his little sister Jolie, it was time to go to Discovery Kingdom. We got in and patiently sat in the car, sang and listened to some cool music. After one hour drive, we finally got there and took some selfies before getting down the car :). I couldn’t feel my legs, but I didn’t care because I was so excited. The last time I was there was when I was 3 years old and I barely rode any ride. </span></div>

This was really a crazy and fun ride. We rode a few more exciting rides after this and watched some shows. Then, we decided to go get some food...we got chicken, some french fries and also drinks. After eating, Jaden’s dad gave me and Jaden a chance to explore around by ourselves using a map. He told us about our meeting spot at the playground afterwards. Yay, we’re free! LOL. We enjoyed our time and tried to play games and won some. We also walked around the mini fair and got some yummy, cold Dippin Dots and cotton candy. After that, we rested a little bit and went on couple more exciting water rides. We got so tired, so we decided to go to the playground to meet Jaden’s dad. We told him how we enjoyed exploring on our own. He told us that him and Jolie are tired too, and that it’s time to go home. On the way home, we stopped at an Outlet store and went shopping for Jolie’s shoes and afterwards ate at Panda Express. We finally got back to Sacramento. I told my parents how I enjoyed my day out with Jaden, Jolie and their dad. I layed down on my bed and got knocked out fast :). </span></div>

Recently, we talked about how we see ourselves, and how that impacts our confidence. As 5th graders get ready to transition into middle school, this is an incredibly important topic.<br />
<br />
As part of this discussion, we watched two different videos, discussed the videos, and responded on padlets.<br />
<br />
Here is the first video, a TED Talk by Lizzie Velasquez called "I Choose To Be Happy":<br />

Both of these videos definitely gave us a lot to think about. I was so impressed with the students' insights! </div>

I hope everyone has had a wonderful and relaxing spring break! We have lots of exciting things ahead of us - can you believe there are only 9 weeks of 5th grade left?? I can't believe how fast this year has flown by! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so incredibly proud of every student in our class. The week before break, students shared their research reports and then gave presentations about their topic to small groups. Topics ranged from countries to sports to biographies of famous people to animals - it was an amazing day of teaching and learning! I definitely learned a lot from everyone's hard work! </div>

Then, the Friday before Spring break, we had Colonial Day! This day was a huge success thanks to awesome parent volunteers donating supplies and running the stations! The kids had a great time, and it was the perfect way to wrap up our 13 Colonies unit. </div>

We made and ate johnny cakes, a traditional food in the New England Colonies. Reactions ranged from, "This tastes like dog treats!" to, "These are delicious!" But no matter how they tasted, everyone tried them! We ate them with our homemade butter, real maple syrup, and apple sauce. </div>

Each day, we make time to read independently, talk about books in our book clubs, write about books, and join together for our read aloud. As of right now, we've read over 550 books! Also, we've experienced <i>Wonder, The Julian Chapter, Out of My Mind, The Girl Who Could Fly, Chains, </i>and now <i>All the Answers</i> together during our read aloud time.<br />

Last week, to celebrate Read Across America and Dr. Seuss's birthday, we had a readathon. Here are some pictures from that day. Check out some of our favorite books! </div>
