More from Peyton...September 9-14

Hi it's Peyton, I know again! But it is very fun doing this a second time!

The first thing we did was some History notes and Science notes, they were okay, but they were not fun and easy. We also started a new chapter in History on the Maya's. By the way Secret Garden is getting better by the day. Also in Science we started a new chapter. In Language Arts we are analyzing spelling words and learning phonograms. They are quite complicated. In Secret Garden we drew the inside of the growing garden. Well the week went very well. Hope you enjoyed, thank you.

Our first student blogger...

Hi my name is Peyton and I am going to be writing and typing the first student blog for Mrs. Grewe's class. It is an honor to be doing this.

So far we have been going over a lot of stuff this year, we have accomplished many obstacles such as are SJCA Virtues and memorizing each other's behavior etc,. This week we have been learning how to take Cornell Style notes and how to shorten our answers in multiple questions in Literature, Science, History and Language Arts. Also, we have certain teams in the classroom.

The other students and I have been working on reading the Secret Garden. It is a very interesting book but it was very boring to me in the beginning. In Literature we are reading Secret Garden. We have answered questions such as,..." Explain how Dickon was able to assure Mary that there would be roses in the Garden in the Spring." Tough sentence Eh! It's actually quite simple, by the way "Eh!" is actually Yorkshire toned.

In History we are learning about the World Lakes. To me I think the Lakes are interesting.

In LA we are learning are writing and reading the Silent Final E. Rules and we are also learning our Phonograms and spelling.

Also in Science we are learning about the Scientific Method, the other day we did a project on it, the project was to see how long you gum lasted. It was a very fun experiment! My gum lasted about 45 minutes, other people gum lasted around 20 to 30 minutes, the six methods are 1. State the Question  2. Collect Info.  3. Form Hypothesis  4. Test the Hypothesis  5. Record and Study Data  6. Draw Conclusion. The other thing we did in Science was learning What is Life?. We just started learning about the Characteristics of Life.

The resources that we have are P.E., Art, Spanish and Music. The teacher that teaches PE. is Mrs. Patterson. She is awesome! The Music teachers are Mr. Clarke and Miss Smith. They are the power by the hour! The Art teacher is Mrs. Rice. She is an amazing artist and art teacher. Finally the Spanish teacher Mrs.V. She is "Grande" with Spanish words!

The best part of the week was getting cookies, they were delicious! P.S. That was today, It was awesome to write this. THANK YOU!!!!

**Teachers Note: The cookies were brought in by a classmate for her birthday this weekend ;)
