An exciting week in October!

(Blog post by this week's blogger, Livie!)


In the beginning of the week we went on a hike to  the Pinnacle. the Pinnacle we stopped at the foundations.  This week in class we were working writing a realistic fiction.  A realistic fiction is something that did not happen but it could. This week in art we finished our jungle scenes and we started our circle design. In P.E. (physical education) we are walking and talking than we do are running we do are Tabata and then we play our game. Our game that we usually play is ball tag. In music we are learning different songs such as Skeletons are Dancing, The Lonely Birch in the Meadow, a Rabbit and a Possum, and Chairs to Mandel. In Inkling everyone has been going to their groups. in Inkling #2 we had a group with Meredith and we wrote letters of support to a kid named Jackson that has troubles similar to Auggie, a character from a book called Wonder that we have been reading. In math we are starting to learn about data. We had to measure the 1st graders than we had to make a graph showing the heights of the first graders and the fourth graders. This week was awesome, thanks to Michelle and Dena!  

Pictures from The Pinnacle!


This is a picture from us sitting down in the woods. We were observing the wilderness in our science notebooks. We were noticing what we could smell, what we could hear, and what we could see. 
Reflecting on our day's hike.

We made it to the top!

Our classes are reading the realistic fiction book Wonder about a boy named Auggie who has Treacher Collins Syndrome, causing his face to look different than most people.  The book is about his experience at school, and how he teaches kindness to the people around him.  

Meredith came in to share an article about a real story of an 8 year old boy, Jackson with the same disability as Auggie who has been dealing with bullies at school.  She asked us to write letters of support to Jackson.  We had some great messages to share, and hopefully our love and kindness will brighten Jackson's day!
