Awesome Class Week

This morning we started with an assembly in the gym.  We have assemblies every Friday because we get together as a school and talk and award things like Miller MVP and Miller All-star.  Mrs. Bass led our meeting today because Mrs. Van was not at school.  During the assembly we had to do the Pledge of Allegiance and the school song.

After the assembly our football reader read to us.  Our football reader is in 11th grade.  He is number 18 and his name is Aaron.  The book he read today is called I Need My Monster.  It was about a boy, who got a note that his monster that lives under his bed, was on vacation.  The boy couldn't go to sleep without his monster.  So 5 other monsters came to help, but they were not scary enough to make him go to sleep.  Then, after the 5th one - the boy's monster came back.  They missed each other.

In gym we learned volleyball and we played Survivor.  In Survivor - we wait in one of four lines and the first person in each line goes and gets a ball.  When coach Rogers says, "Go" we try to hit other people from other teams with the ball.  IF you get hit - you have to go to the end of the line and the next person in line goes.

We played a game of volleyball with 9 on 9.  The yellow team won.

After specials we went upstairs and our book buddies came upstairs.  We read to each other.

We did an experiment in class.  We went outside and we poured water on the ground and we circled it with chalk.  We waited for 10 minutes to see what happened to the water.  The water evaporated on some of our circles.  The water that is liquid and the sun heated it up and the water evaporated and turned into a gas.

We also put  chocolate outside on a napkin to see what happened if we left it on the ground for ten minutes.  The chocolate melted for some of us.  The chocolate turned from a solid into a liquid because the sun heated it up.

We read more of the story Ramona Quimby Age 8.  Today in our story Ramona and Beezus have to cook dinner because in the last chapter they wouldn't eat their dinner.  As their punishment, they had to cook.  When they cooked they did their own recipe and ended up liking it - kind of.  They put chili peppers, yougart, and chicken into a pan and cooked it.  Ramona forgave her mom for not cooking her egg that she had at school.

We went out to recess.  Some of us played tag.  Some of us played rocket-rocket-alien.  It is a game that is kind of like duck, duck, goose, but instead it is rocket-rocket-alien.  But if you get sent to the mush pot it is called "the alien dungeon."

In math we looked at ages again.  We NEED to know the ages of 8 family members on MONDAY.  Please write this in our planner OR send us with a note.  We will work with the numbers on MONDAY.


Have a good weekend!
