<span style="font-size: large;"><em>As part of our writing curriculum we studied the work of Cynthia Rylant. She is a prolific writer who has published texts in a variety of genres. We carefully looked at her craft and borrowed many of her writing techniques to better our own writing. The children learned how to utilize ellipses, the power of 3, connecting ands, circular text, personification, metaphors, similes, personification, and alliteration. The children published narrative poems and celebrated with an Open Mike Afternoon!</em></span></div>

project. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alyssa demonstrated how to make
a clay sea dragon. After her presentation she let the class try to make a
dragon too. We had to follow very specific directions. They turned out great
and looked amazing. Avi made a torch theatre from a cereal box! He put on an
entire show for the class about <u>The Lion and the Witch and the Wardrobe</u>
using a flash light and characters. It was incredible! The rest of the class
did a great job too! They are displayed outside in the hall. It was lots of fun
making our projects and presenting them!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">In social studies we were
studying government. We learned about the three branches of government. They
are the Judicial, Executive, and Legislative Branches. Each branch has three levels: local, federal, and
state. We made hangers to help us remember them. (See picture below) </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">We hung up the hangers on the ceiling. Some of them are hanging on the fans.
The Judicial Branch deals with the courts. An example is the Supreme Court.
The Legislative Branch makes laws. Congress is part of the Legislative Branch which is made up of the
Senate and the House of Representatives. The Executive Branch enforces
the laws. We learned about the branches of government and prepared
for our government test. </span></div>

</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">A
couple of weeks ago we read a book called<u> Schooled</u>. After that we
started learning how to write opinion pieces. We based the opinion piece topics on <u>Schooled</u>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The class was split into two groups: people who support public schools
and people who support home schooling. Each group wrote an opinion essay on their topic. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">After we wrote our essays we had a class debate. On the day of the debate the teachers
picked from the sticks and chose one person who supported homeschooling and one person that supported public schools. Each pair of students stood up in
front of the class and defended their side. There was a format to the debate that we followed. First both sides stated their opinion. Then one
person presented their position. Next, the other person responded and started a
new argument. Mr.
Luppy, our amazing school custodian, was our judge. The next day we got an email from Mr. Luppy telling us
that everyone did great and the debate was a tie. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">This month we are working on a project called “Things That
Make You Go Hmmm”! </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">First each one of us had to pick
a question that we always wondered the answers to. For example, Jillian’s question was <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">What is in a snow globe?</i> and Olivia’s
question was <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">How do cats communicate?</i>
Next we filled out a KWL chart (what we know, what we want to know, and what we
learned). Then, we researched our question and filled out the 'L' on the KWL
chart. Finally, we put all the information we gathered and made a
PowerPoint, Prezi, or poster. We presented them in class. </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">In class we have been working on long
division. We learned the steps it takes to complete a long division problem. These steps are, division, multiplication, subtraction and repeat. We are also experimenting with two and three digit divisors. To start each math lesson we sometimes play division games on the smart board. We take turns practicing and if we don’t get it right, the teachers help us. We do a lot of work together with our teachers and everybody
gets a chance to go up in front of the class and practice long
division.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">In class we are learning
about Pioneers in Social Studies. We are studying Manifest Destiny. We started
the unit by looking at a painting called <em>Manifest Destiny</em>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We analyzed the painting and realized that <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country-region> was the
angel going west who was bringing pioneers and technology west.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Manifest Destiny is when the Pioneers had a
desire to move and settle in the west because the west offered new opportunities. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">We are also watching a movie on Pioneers called <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Little House on<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> t</span>he Prairie</u></i>. This movie showed
how the Pioneers faced many troubles moving west. Some of the troubles such as: leaving family members behind, getting attacked
by Indians and facing blizzards were shown in the movie. </span></div>

four kids named Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. Their parents sent them to a

Lucy finds a wardrobe that leads her to a magical world called <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Narnia</i>. She met a faun named Mr. Tumnus.
When she gets back she tells the others but they don’t believe her. Later, they
all get to know that the magical world is real because all the children cross over into
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Narnia</i>. Every few chapters our class
has a quiz about the book. This book is fascinating! We hope you will read this

In science our class has been studying oceanography and different creatures that live in the ocean. We did many different and experiments about the ocean. For example, we did an oil spill experiment. We learned that oil spills can hurt animals in many different ways. We also dissected squid and examined fish. During the dissection we learned that if the squid has yellow inside it then it is a girl. We sorted sea creatures to find their similarities and differences, we also played a food chain game in the hallway outside the auditorium. We learned that different animals eat different plants to survive. </div>

<em><span style="font-size: large;">Dear Families,</span></em></div>
<em><span style="font-size: large;">As part of Text Savvy we analyze a different text each week. We preview and prepare, monitor for meaning, envision, infer and interpret, and synthesize. This process encourages the children to focus on a close reading of a text and make text to world connections. Recently, our class looked at a text titled, <u>How to Make an Origami Cup</u>. The kids enjoyed this text greatly. </span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;">We challenged the class to synthesize the text by selecting their own How To Project and present it in class. We had such a wonderful time sharing our projects. Check out the photos below.</span></em><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Dear Families,<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
We can’t believe that we’ve already been in school for
almost one full month! This is the first of many Blogs that you will receive.
This is a way for you to get a glimpse of all the wonderful things going on in
our classroom.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
In math, we have been exploring place value with whole
numbers and decimals. This includes comparing and ordering numbers,
rounding/estimating and powers of 10. We have utilized math games in the
classroom and the computer lab to help reinforce concepts. We even had a visit
from Mr. P.! Next week the children will take their first math test. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
During our shared reading time, we use a variety of texts to
model and practice specific strategies and skills of proficient readers. Our shared
reading so far has included a newspaper article, magazine article, and
restaurant review (as you know). <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Our first read aloud is <u>Schooled</u> by Gordon Kormon. It
is about a boy who grew up on a commune and is suddenly thrown into modern day
life when his grandmother can’t take care of him anymore. Life in a public
school sure is different than being homeschooled by his grandmother. We have
been examining character change through this novel. We are very eager to meet
Gordon Kormon on October 7<sup>th</sup> at Jericho Public Library.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
In social studies, we have reviewed the big ideas of
government and democracy by having the children take the naturalization test
for becoming a <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region>
citizen. We will be moving into map skills next week. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Our Science Lab is a very exciting place. We have been
learning about the ocean through various hands-on experiments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the computer lab we’ve been working on
ocean animal research. The children will be presenting their research to the
class next week in the form of a PowerPoint or a Prezzi. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
During Writer’s Workshop, we decorated our notebooks and
wrote our first entry. It was a letter of advice to somebody starting a new
school. We will shortly be started a unit on persuasive writing. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
We wish you a great weekend. Your children will be writing
our next blog!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank you for all of
your support!<o:p></o:p></div>

<em>We wanted to share these pictures of 5th grade Field Day. The kids had a blast designing their t-shirts and dressing up for the occasion. For the first time ever, the entire fifth grade performed their Field Day cheers together in front of the entire school. What fun!</em><br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">The entire school is participating in the ABC countdown to the last day of school. Each letter of the alphabet is a school wide activity. For example, we wore pink to school to prevent bullying.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We read books with our buddies and wore blue for the letter B. For the letter D we celebrated with donuts Furthermore, we had Exercise Day, Fancy Day and Green Day. Everyone wore green to school and played board games. On Monday we will be having Hat Day.

We decorated one heart with images representing </span><st1:country-region><st1:place><span style="font-size: 14pt;">America</span></st1:place></st1:country-region><span style="font-size: 14pt;">. The other heart is decorated with images representing where your family is from. Then we combined them! You will see them on Heritage Day hanging in our classroom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also made family crests. We wrote our family motto and our last names on the crests. On Friday, May 31st we will be celebrating all our hard work with our families during the Heritage Luncheon. We can't wait!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">In class, we are continuing book clubs. We get 3 post-it notes every week, and we have to write a question or an observation about the book to share with our book club. We discuss the book every Friday, and write key points about our discussion on our I-Pad. We also write things to focus on in the next few chapters. We all are excited to see how our books turn out!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">This week we went on a 5<sup>th</sup> grade field trip to see Blue Man Group. Everyone had a lot of fun! One of the things they did was put paint on a drum and then beat the drum so the paint would come up and look like fire. They didn’t talk at all during the entire show which made it really cool because they only used their emotions and body language to communicate. Also, they had these huge iphones called GiPads. The GiPads had really cool apps like making you look transparent through the phone. Finally, they played different kinds of instruments and had a lot of dance parties with toilet paper. We all had a lot of fun on this trip and hope we can go back soon! </span></div>

We started book clubs. Each group was assigned a book which was either: <u>Wonder,</u> <u>Pinball’s, The Giver </u>or<u> Welcome Home Jellybean. </u>Each week we read up to a certain page. On Friday we have a discussion about our book. We take notes on the ipad at the end of the session. Every week there is a new discussion leader who leads the group. This week as we are reading we are jotting down questions about the book on post-it notes to discuss with our group. We love our book clubs!<o:p></o:p></div>

This week in social studies we learned about immigration. The teachers read us two books about immigration. The<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>two books are called <u>Peppe, the Lamplighter</u> and <u>American Too</u>. We learned about the tough living conditions that the immigrants of the 1880s had to face. We also continue to learn about our family’s heritage. We hope to learn more about immigrants and our family’s heritage.</div>

<o:p> </o:p>In school, we are participating in a math challenge called Math Quest. In Math Quest, we are split into 4 teams. The Funky Factors are Brian, PJ, Madeline, Steph and Kyra. The Fab+Five are Jared, Logan, Adam, Trevor and Steven. The Brainy Bunch is Rachel, Sanjyot, Caitlin, Daniel and Chris. The Mathappers are Austin, Michael, Rebecca, Emilie, and Sakina. In Math Quest, we are solving word problems for units like Charts, Guess & Check and Draw a Picture. We solve problems for points and at the end, whoever has the most points wins!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also have Fate Cards that are games of chance that can improve or lessen your standing in the game. <br />

For the past two weeks, we have been doing a reading program with our 1<sup>st</sup> grade buddies. We all watch a video called <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Martha Speaks</i> and then we ask our buddies questions about the video. Every week we have a few vocabulary words that are related to the video. Then we read a special book together that has to do with the words. We ask our buddies questions about the book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also play a game with our buddy that reinforces the new vocabulary words. Last week we made dog super heroes out of brown paper bags. Finally, we do a little writing activity to finish it off. We love reading with our buddies!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>On Friday, we celebrated Cinco de Mayo. We spent much of the morning in stations creating tile art, lacquer ware and birch bark paintings inspired by Mexican artisans. We discovered that nature and geometry are common motifs among Mexican crafts. In the afternoon, we sampled Mexican food, desserts and listened to Mariachi music. We had a great time. A special GRACIAS to our class parents for their help with the food.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we will be celebrating in class on Friday. We will be eating different types of Mexican food, doing arts and crafts, decorating tiles, making bark paintings, designing lacquer ware (plates), and listening to Mexican music. Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of Mexican heritage. This is something that we all are looking forward to. We can’t wait till Friday to try all these activities! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">In our class, we are reading <u>Crash</u> by Jerry Spinelli. 7<sup>th</sup> grader John “Crash” Coogan (named for the time he crashed into his cousin) started off as a big bully, but when his grandfather is hospitalized for a stroke, he becomes nicer. His family is not very interactive because his parents both work a lot. Crash used to love tormenting his neighbor Penn Webb, but now he doesn’t enjoy it. We all are excited to find out what happens in the book!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Previously in science, we were learning about chemical and physical changes. A physical change is when you change the look of an object but it is still the same object it always was. A chemical change is when you change an object and it doesn’t return to its original form. In science, we did an experiment to prove what a physical change was. We melted ice on metal and hot metal. We proved that when we put the ice on the hot metal, it melted, but we could always change it back to ice if we froze it. To prove a chemical change, we filled beakers with water, put in food coloring, oil and Alka-Seltzer tablets to make it bubble! We made lava lamps!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

We classified rocks/minerals by their properties and figured out what they were called. We learned about all of the properties of matter. We had a really good time in science and we can’t wait for what we will do next week!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt;">CIAO! For the past few months each of us was assigned a topic about Italian cities, sports, foods, fashion etc. We shared our projects in front of the class during FLES.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the end of each presentation, some people asked questions. Also, if you had a topic about food (pizza, zeppoles, biscotti, cannolies, ices, lemon cake etc.) you presented ten facts and then shared the food you brought in to the class. We enjoyed out Italian experience! </span></div>

This week the children were troupers as they took the NYS Common Core ELA exam. We are so proud of them. <br />
<br />
A highlight from this week was conducting experiments in the lab that <br />allowed the children to identify both a physical and chemical change. <strong>Check out the pictures below.</strong><br />
<br />
Today we are celebrating Earth Day with the entire 5th grade. We will be watching <em>Disney Earth</em> and eating healthy snacks provided by the class parents. Thank you Class Moms!<br />
<br />
The children are enthralled by our new read aloud, <u>Crash</u> by Jerry Spinelli. This week we discussed the meaning of irony and how it is utilized throughout the text. We also compared and contrasted the families of the two main characters. This involved a great deal of inferring. <br />
<br />
We continue to review math concepts in preparation for the NYS Common Core Math Exam the children will be taking next week. <br />
<br />
Have a wonderful weekend.<br />

April is national poetry month. The children have been engaging in poetry stations where they have been exposed to figurative language. We have studied onomatopoeia, hyperbole, simile, metaphor, personification and idioms. <br />
<br />
Below are pictures of the children in their stations. <br />

We hope everyone had a pleasant spring break. The kids filled us in on all your adventures on Monday. It sounds like you all really enjoyed yourselves. <br />
<br />
This week we visited the DNA Lab in Cold Spring Harbor. The children extracted DNA from bacteria and toured the museum. They had an amazing time.<br />
<br />
Here are some photos for you to check out. <br />

<br />
This week was full of excitement! We enjoyed the many PARB activities that were arranged by our wonderful PTA. Dr. Margarita, the Foreign Language Curriculum Specialist, visited our class as a secret reader. She shared an amazing book, <u><strong>The Boy Who Loved Words</strong></u><em>,</em> with us. We loved the assembly with <em>Jester Jim</em>! It was also a treat to have parents visit our classroom.<br />
<br />
We would also like to highlight our work in the science lab. This week we began our unit on chemistry. We created molecular models. Check out the photographs below!<br />
<br />
In math, we began geometry. We reviewed the types of triangles and quadrilaterals. We also explored line plots. <br />
<br />
In social studies, we continued to explore the similarities between the United States and Canada. We focused on history and government this week. We are putting the final touches on our power point presentations on the provinces of Canada.<br />
<br />
In our read aloud, <u>The Great Gilly Hopkins</u> we have reached the turning point. We are using this read aloud to explore concepts such as theme and character change. We are tracking a line of thinking and striving for a deeper understanding to figure out why Gilly behaves the way she does. This work will lead us into book clubs.<br />
<br />
In Writer's Workshop, we are writing essays using paired passages. These pasages have a shared topic which our students have to identify and then write an essay. For example, our students read a myth and a science fiction story about flying inventions. They had to analyze both pieces and make text-to-text connections between the two in order to write the essay.<br />
<br />
Check out all the terrific photos below!<br />

<br />
This week we celebrated the 100th day of school! We met with our buddies on this very special day and worked on 100 piece puzzles. It is hard to believe that in only a few short months your children will be entering the middle school. We are so proud of how much they have grown and matured.<br />
<br />
In math, we are winding down a unit on multiplying and dividing fractions. We will begin exploring measurement on Monday. <br />
<br />
In social studies, we are learning all about our closest neighbors and greatest trading partners-Canada and Mexico. In addition, the children completed a webquest on the geography of Canada in the computer lab. <br />
<br />
We have begun a new read aloud, <u>The Great Gilly Hopkins</u>. We are further developing our inferencing skills by discussing what the author is covertly revealing about Gilly through her actions and dialouge. <br />
<br />
Lastly, we are strengthening our essay writing skills by reading paired texts and identifying the shared topic. We are supporting our thesis statement by providing texutal evidence from both texts. <br />
<br />
As always, we are busy little beavers in room 27.<br />

It has been another busy week in our classroom. We would like to highlight an activity in our Science Lab. The children participated in a lab focusing on traits passed down to offspring. They assembled imaginary creatures based on the Lab Sheet below. We noticed that although all the creatures resembled each other, no two were exactly alike. <br />
<br />
In addition, we celebrated the end of our writing unit with a <strong>Poetry Slam-Open Mike</strong>. The children were inspired by Cythina Rylant and utilized many of her crafting techniques to enhance their poetry. She has been an incredible mentor and taught us so much about writing. The children also created a watercolor painting to complement their poems. You can view them in the background. <br />
<br />
Have a wonderful break. <br />

This week we would like to highlight an amazing experience in our science lab. We had a visit from a staff member at the <em>DNA Lab</em> from Cold Spring Harbor. She brought special equipment which allowed the children to get a close up view of mutated flies and worms. Continue reading to find out what your child thought about the experience...<br />

<br />
<strong>Caitlin:</strong> I couldn't believe how tiny the worms were. It was weird when they moved under the microscope. <br />
<br />
<strong>Jared:</strong> I was surprised by how small the fruit flies were. <br />
<br />
<strong>Kyra: </strong>I saw a pupa from the fruit flies and it didn't have any arms or legs!<br />
<br />
<strong>Emilie: </strong>I was amazed by how tiny the worms were and how you could only see them under the microscope. I looked at two types of worms. One was curved like a C and one was curved like an S. The C worm was mutated. <br />

<strong>Logan: </strong>I enjoyed learning about all the different mutations in humans. We talked about insulin and keratin. Keratin is what makes your hair and nails grow. <br />
<br />
<strong>Steven: </strong>I enjoyed looking at the mutated worms under the microscope because it was cool to see them moving. <br />
<br />

<strong>Alites:</strong> Overall, the experience taught us how similar our genetic makeup is to other living things. Did you know that a human and a fruit fly share 60 percent of the same genetic makeup?<br />

<em>Due to the benchmarks being administered this week, we were unable to secure lab time for our students to type our blog. So......you're getting this week's news from us! </em><br />
<em>-Alites</em><br />
<br />
This week we picked our seed idea and are moving toward publishing our narrative poems. We've become experts on Cynthia Rylant and can't wait to utilize her craft in our very own poems! <br />
<br />
In math, we have come to the end of our unit in fractions, and our students can expect a test next week. We will continue to explore fractions in our next math unit. One highlight in math this week was discovering the value of fractions using tangrams with Mr. P.<br />
<br />
In Reading Workshop, we used <u>The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe</u> to explore symbolism in literature. We discussed how various authors use charcters, objects, and events to represent something deeper in their writing. The kids will be looking for symbols in their independent reading next week as a reading goal.<br />
<br />
In science, we are looking forward to a visit from the staff of the DNA Lab. In class, we have been learning about traits and the genetic information our DNA carries. We enjoyed talking about which traits we inherited from which parent. Ask them to expalin the difference between phenotype and genotype. Impressive!<br />
<br />
In social studies, we been tracking our stocks and will graph our results today in the computer lab. We continued to discuss the idea of scarcity and the effects of supply and demand in a free market economy such as ours. Ask them about the <em>Bagel Article</em>!<br />
<br />
In closing, we would like to welcome Ms. DeBlasio! She is our new classroom aide. <br />
<br />
Enjoy the Superbowl and the weekend! Happy Groundhog's Day!<br />
<br />

This week you may have noticed that your child’s reading log looks different. Don’t worry, the teachers have come up with a new way to help your child understand their book on a whole new level. It’s called reading goals. Each week we will have a new reading goal. The reading goal for this week is perspective. Your child is assigned to write a journal entry from the perspective of one of the characters from their own book. Next week we will have a different reading goal. We will keep you posted.</div>

Our new topic in social studies is the Stock Market. Our teachers explained how the stock market and shares works. The teachers gave us our own stock to follow for a week. Some examples are, Gap, Apple, and AOL. We went on a website called <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Wally’s Stock Ticker</i> and looked up our company.

This Thursday, Phil Bildner came to visit 5<sup>th</sup> grade. He is an author, and often writes about sports. He is really funny and showed us some errors that he has spotted through the years like a STOP sign that was spelled “SOTP”! He taught us that our first draft of a story can not be our last draft. He showed us his newest book that he is working on. It is called <u>Soccer Fence</u>. He also told us that he used to go to our school- Cantiague! It was an amazing time!<o:p></o:p></div>

On Tuesday, we went to the science lab for a visit with the DNA lab from <st1:place><st1:placename>Cold</st1:placename> <st1:placetype>Spring</st1:placetype> <st1:placetype>Harbor</st1:placetype></st1:place>. They came to us and in March we are going to go to visit them on a field trip. The scientist that came was a woman and her name was Ms. Gotlieb. She brought microscopes for us to look at cells. She printed letter <u>E’s </u>out for us to look through the microscopes and we found out that it was not only solid black, it had white spots in it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another thing we had to do is find our cheek cells. We took a toothpick (that was not sharp) and we put it in our mouths and rubbed it on the inside of our cheeks and retrieved some cheek cells. After we collected the cells on a slide, Ms. Gotlieb put a drop of blue food coloring on it so it would be easier for us to see. Next, we placed the slide under the microscope and looked for our cells. Some kids even saw the nucleus of their cheek cell. We had a lot of fun and can’t wait till we go to the DNA lab!</div>

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>This week we got new economic words. We learned about the 3 different types of economies. They are the command economy, free market economy and a traditional economic system. The traditional economic system is when a kid grows up they have the same job/trade as their parent. The command economy is when the government basically controls everything. Last but not least, the free market economy gives the consumers the freedom to buy what they want and to make their own choices. This is also known as capitalism. We have a free market economy in the <st1:country-region><st1:place>United States</st1:place></st1:country-region>. Also, the owners of businesses in a free market economy have much more freedom than they would in a command economy. We also learned about supply and demand and we are ready for the test tomorrow! </div>

In FLES we are wrapping up the language, Italian. Our last assignment for Italian is to pick a topic from an Italian category and write a report about it with at least 10 facts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><st1:city><st1:place>Austin</st1:place></st1:city>’s topic is the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Leaning Tower of Pisa</i>. Emilie’s is reporting on pizza, and Daniel will teach us about pasta. While we work on these reports at home, we will be beginning French in school. Bye or as they say in Italian, Ciao!</div>

Our read aloud is called, <u>The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe</u>. This book is written by C.S. Lewis. We meet a lot of mythical creatures throughout the book. Like a witch, a faun, and a dwarf. The book starts off to be realistic and then it jumps right into fantasy. This story takes place in a world called Narnia. This is how this book all started... A girl named Lucy went into a wardrobe and she found out that it never ended. Then, all of a sudden she feels something cold on her feet and it is snow. That is how she finds out that it is magical. We are excited to read more about this exhilarating book!</div>

Right now in math we are learning LCM and the LCD It stands for least common multiple and least common denominator. First we had a few warm ups and then we started activities. It was hard at first but then we got the hang of it .Step 1, we listed the multiples of the 2 denominators, and then we find the least common denominator. So when you have the numbers you rewrite the problem and then you divide the denominator. So what you do to the top you do to the bottom.</div>

This week we learned all about the history of Tootsie Rolls as part of our unit on Economics. We watched a short video about how to make Tootsie Rolls. We also found out cool facts about Tootsie Rolls. Did you know that Tootsie Rolls were named after the daughter of the man that invented Tootsie Rolls? We also made up our own company and created advertisements for it. Caitlin’s was the Tweezies Co. There was also a cake pops and bars company. Brian’s was the SuperChocolate Fireball.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a great experience!</div>
