This week we read in the book we are almost done with it. Wehave 3 more chapters left. Last Friday we had game day instead of work as a reward for our hard work, games are better. We are having a lot of fun. We hope we play games again. Oh and there were learning games also.

Old faithful and cottonmouth

2009-02-23T05:49:00.000-08:00

We learned about Old Faithful, a geyser in Yellowstone National Park. We also learned about cottonmouths. We studied about cottonmouts because Grams, in our story, was bitten by one. Cottonmouths are very dangerous because they are vemenomous snakes. We tried to watch Old Faithful erupt, but it does not happen until the afternoon. Mrs Hoppes told us we could watch it erupt if we logged on to the Website at home. We read Walk 2 Moons all the way to chapter 32. The book is getting sad and fun. There are some fun twists.

We have new kids in our class and we have stared a book called Walk Two Moons. It is about a girl who is looking for his mother. There is a character named Mrs. Cadaver and a boy they have called a lunatic. The girls in the story are wondering if Mrs. Cadaver is an axe murderer. It is a very good book and this last week in math we started the coordinate plane. That was good to like when we got use the smart borad and Mrs. Hoppes called us to the smart borad that was cool to and in math we got to draw robots they was cool too. that all for this week ... bye

Hi! Here we are at River Road Middle School. Some of us are looking forward to having a great year, others of us are looking forward to June 10th. We had our first day of school last week. Some of the things we did were:

1. We found our homebase teachers and got our schedules.

2. We studied the RRMS Matrix in all of our classes. We know how to follow all the rules listed on the matrix.
3. We wrote to an Army Chinook helicopter mechanic.
4. We played a Bingo game using the Matrix.
5. We had lots of getting to know you activities so we could get to know each other. We all came from different schools.
6. Finally, we started our blog. We will be posting once a week in order to keep you all informed of what we are doing in the classroom.

YEAAAAA!!!!!! We made it through the first week.
