Native American Names

We have started our final social studies unit of the year: Native Americans.  We kicked off the unit by learning about Native American names.  Their names may tell about what the person does well or wants to do, something that may have happened on the day of their birth, or something else that has specific meaning to the person.  With some input from the students, I created a Native American name and symbol for them.  We had a naming ceremony in which their names were explained.  They then chose to name me, "Teaching Owl" and Mrs. Ellis, "Calm Grass".

SCIENCE

For science we learned about life cycles and we played a life cycle game that was like another type of tag. First I was a cricket next I was an anole last I was an anole again. I had a lot of fun playing!!!!!!! by Kaitlyn

ANIMORPHS

Me,Jillian,Mason,Hunter,Christian,Alex are reading a new book. It is called " ANIMORPHS". It's really awesome because we are all people that have a special power. Whenever they touch an animal they turn into that animal,but if they don't touch that animal again before two hours they stay that animal forever! The books are......An alien which is called The Alien.....A cat one which is The Visitor.....An eagle is called The Encounter.....A dolphin which is called The Message.... A gorilla which is called The Predator and a weird person which is called The Capture. I will keep you updated after I finish the Visitor.

ANIMORPHS

Today Mrs.Sullivan got 7 Animorph books Me, Shanna, Alex, Hunter, Hannah, Mason and Christian all have the books.  I'm reading the 7th book. I used to have to read the 4th but I gave it to Shanna. I think it is cool that me and Hannah have the same person but different animals. Mine is a bear and named Rachel and Hannah has Rachel but in form of a cat. Hunter has a gorilla and Shanna has a dolphin and Mason has an eagle and Alex has a fly and Christian is a monster looking thing. The plot of the book is that a wizard gave over 50 people a power that if they touch an animal then it would turn into that animal. Mine is the stranger one in the book series. Hunter and Mason both got all of the books. All of them cost over 100 dollars. Our school does not have any but I put one on hold because Alpine has them so that's cool.

The cogat

In class we are taking the cogat.  The cogat is 3 days long and we have 65 questions.  I was expecting it to be easier I thought it would be easier and shorter.   I thought that it would easier than the Parcc. We had 10 minutes to do 20 questions.

Food Chain

In science, we are learning about the food chain and food webs.  We went outside to play the Food Chain Game, which let the students act out the food chain using the animals of owl, anole, and cricket.
