Friendship Knots

On Febuary 10 we made friendship knots. We made friendship knots for our little buddies in Mrs Kohut's class because they are our friends. I will tell you how to make one. First you get a colored paper and you write there name on the top. After that you write a nice message and sign your name on the bottom.You can draw a little picture if you want. Then you fold it like acordeoin. When you are done doing that you fold the paper so it looks like a knot. And that is how you make a Friendship knot. On Tuesday Febuary 14 we went to our little buddies classroom and gave our friendship knot to our buddies. They liked it when we gave the friendship knot to them. I hope you enjoy the video.

The Digestive System

One of the interesting things we did this week was in science. Let’s say you eat an apple. First you put it in your mouth next saliva helps break down the food then teeth chew the food into smaller pieces. Then it goes down your esophagus and into your stomach (I thought the entire thing was called the stomach). The stomach is a little pouch filled with hydrochloric acid and coated in mucus to protect the stomach from dissolving in the acid. Then the pyloric valve opens and the food goes to the small intestine then it goes to the large intestine and well then it is on its way out of the body.

Book Talk

Today I did a presentation during Daily 5. My presentation was on my diorama for a book. The book was called "Secrets in the Sand". Here is my speech,                                                                                   Hi, My name is Dana. This is a diorama based on the book "Secrets in the Sand". The author of this book is named Sharon Siamon. She is my favourite author. This amazing book is mostly about horses. But I would recommend it to anyone who likes adventure, drama, action, danger, boats, oceans, and most of all, horses. Many of you might be wondering why I chose this scene for my diorama. But this scene actually shows a lot. This is probabaly one of the most important parts of the story. As you can see in this scene, Andy goes searching for treasure in his skiff while Kelsie and Jen take care of the horses. (Casper and Zeke). That is what happens most of the time in the story. Andy is always searching for treasure because there is a legend about pirates. Aparently around 300 years ago pirates left a stash of treasure on Saddle Island. But Jen, Kelsie, and Aunt Maggie think it's just a myth. Can Andy proove them wrong? I hope I encouraged everyone to read this series. Thanks for listening.

THANKS FOR READING!

Read All About It!

Last week we got little pockets to decorate then got little cards to put what book we are reading at this time and decorated those. Also we have a white board that we write recommendations on so other people would read that book. This is helpful for the class because then we could get ideas for different books to read during Daily 5. I'm reading City of Ember and Tyler from our class already read the series and said it was good. I also asked him where he got the books from so I could read the rest of the series.
