Back to School! By Steven


It was good to come back to school after a long weekend. This morning we took our spelling pre-test. We learned new vocabulary words! They are destroy, prevent, beware, grassland, uprooted, and violent. Then we read about Super Storms! That is our theme of the week. This afternoon we went to the library. We were working on our Australia research projects. Today we cut apart all of our facts and sorted them into categories we came up with based on our facts. My group made these groups: weather, fun things to do, and animals to see all in South Australia. During math we practiced measuring our arm span using a tape measure. We measured in inches and in centimeters. Then we broke into small groups to see who could jump the farthest. Each group had a jumper, a measurer, a line judge, and a marker. We all took two turns. Dominic and I had awesome jumps! Mine was 128 centimeters and 50 inches! It was fun measuring our jumps. We are going to sort the data tomorrow.

Have a nice night!
