We started our blogs this week. Everyone chose their topic, named their blog and chose the look of their blog. Everyone is so excited to get writing! Below is a collection of blog entries the class wrote about their week. Enjoy! Guest bloggers: Lily, Jano, Miquel, Joseph, Hamza, Oliver and Keira Math The best thing I learned this week was subtracting fractions. When I was learning this it taught me something. That something is patience, because it was very hard to learn. After I acknowledged this it made much more sense and I learned how to do it. The best time in the classroom this week was doing fractions. It is a new thing for me in math. I love doing math because I get better and better each month. At the beginning of the year I was horrible and now I am better. My favorite activity this week was the math floor planner. We get to decide what we want it to look like, what to buy and have the freedom to design a big space however we want it. That is amazing because it is mixing difficult math and letting us unleash creativity in a math problem. I didn't think it could be done! The most fun thing I did this week was the math room planner. Taking the measurements and figuring out how big the room is supposed to be was awesome. Figuring out the wall measurements was fun. Overall, I am very happy about it. LA I love learning about blogs. They are fun and exciting. I like blogs because you are taking what you love and teaching other people about it. Some parents and other people think the Internet is a waste. I think it is a good place for people around the world to share what they love. Blogging is a great way to spend your time. Social Studies The best thing I learned about this week is the Chicago fire. I enjoyed it because I learned things that happened in the past. I feel bad for the who lost family members in the fire. I like it because it is history. It was interesting that people thought it was a cow that started the Chicago fire, but it wasn't. People blamed an Irish immigrant, Mrs. O'Leary. We heard a podcast about it we started reading a book about it. It is a really cool book because the dad is a sheriff and he was shot right in the heart, but his badge saved him. Sadly, he died in a blizzard when his wagon crashed.
