Similies

Today we learned about similies. Here are a few we wrote together.

Names were changed to protect the innocent.

Owen is as excited as a monkey in a truckload of bananas.

Haley's temper is as bad as a rabid german shepard.

Ella charged through the crowd like Mrs. Pearson at a Foo Fighter's Concert.


Pretty descriptive aren't they?

Today's Journal: Trains

"Hi, Emma! We're glad you could make it!" "Hey Emma, I saw your name on the nice list!" For me, this was the most magical part of the Polar Express ride. After we departed from the train, we were met by hundreds of elves shouting Emma's name. The first time we went on the Polar Express, Emma completely believed we were heading to the North Pole. When she heard a little boy crying she said to me, "I think he's homesick."

Yesterday's journal: Snowflakes

Snowflakes are snowcrystals. I hope there is not enough snow so Santa will crash.Then snowflakes will come to life and attack him. On this show this kid put darts in the fireplace. I hope a antler falls off one of the Reindeer.

Busy, busy , busy

Things are getting crazy in our classroom. We have been learning about the reasons for the seasons and the winter solstice. Remember, after the 21st, days will start getting longer again!

Yesterday, we continued studying rocks with our ELF educators. There were some great rocks to look at and activities to solidify our understanding of rocks.

Today we studied the adaptations that chickadees make in order to survive the winter. These are some amazing animals!

We also had math and muffins today. It was great to see parents working with their students on math problems...

Ask your student about some of these lessons and see what they have learned!

Green Mountain Boys

Today we learned a little about Ann Story who is often called the "Mother of the Green Mountain Boys". We learned about the New Hampshire land grants and the arguments that broke out over the land in what is now Vermont. We began reading a book called Green Mountain Hero.

Tonight, for homework, choose a character from the story: Amos, Ann, Solomon, Ephraim, Samuel, Hannah, or Susannah. Write a journal entry from their point of view about the barn fire.

Use neat handwriting and your best writing skills!

Today's Journal: Cats

I have a cat her name is Sugar Bug.I love her.Her favorite food is fancy feast.I got her from
pony club.She is afraid of dogs . She scratched Odey's nose my old cat jumped
on Patch and then ran away for ever. I think he joined the thunder clan.

Thursday's Journal: Winter Smells

Winter smells are turkeys in the oven, pies on the cooling rack. Winter smells are burning candles ,and cranberry sauce a dish. Some people have ham in the oven too. Winter smells are candy canes being pulled off the Christmas tree. Other smells of winter are Hershey Kisses, mints, and candy in a dish waiting to be eaten. Winter smells remind me of the twenty-five days to Christmas.
