GREENBRIAR IS AWESOME

Article posted April 25, 2011 at 08:23 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 495

The smell of new expo markers filled the air! It was the first week of school and I was so excited because I go to Greenbriar and it is the best school ever and I’ll tell you why!

Greenbriar is cool because we have musicals. Musicals are fun because we get to do them in 4th and 5th grade so if you don’t get the part you want one year you always have another year. Mrs. Jacobson our music teacher who is also director of the musicals is very nice she understands if you didn’t get a chance to memorize your lines and she gives you a couple more days!
Another reason why Greenbriar is fun is because we get 2 playgrounds and if in K-2nd grade you get tired of the playground, next year you get to go to a different playground. The other good thing about having 2 playgrounds is if on 1 playground the school is having construction done then you don’t have to miss recess.
The last reason why Greenbriar is awesome is that we have super duper nice teachers, they understand if you where really busy the night before and you didn’t get to do your homework then they are nice and they give you another night!

Those are just a COUPLE reasons why Greenbriar is awesome! Gotta go recess time!

Markowitz

Article posted April 18, 2011 at 05:54 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 449

The Markowitz family is a jewish family that lived in Russia and is immigrating to america because of pogroms. Pogroms are people who do not like jews so they team up against jews and wreck their stores and stuff like that. So the Marks family decided to immigrate to America. The boat ride was a nasty ride everyone was seasick, you where crammed into the steerage of the boat, and you couldn't communicate with anyone because you didn't speak the same langauge. After the boat ride they went to Ellis Island to get checked to see if they had any sickness. Then they went to America to start a new life they had to get jobs in factory's which was really hard. Eventually they adjusted, Sasha the oldest son got married, and Nathen,and emma went to school!

Vocab. (soccer)

Article posted March 25, 2011 at 05:13 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 449

I love soccer you sort of venture out when you start it because you can get really hurt but besides that it is very fun! I was in a quandary when I was in 2 grade because I sort of liked soccer but I didn’t know if I wanted to start travel! In soccer you have to be very keen because sometimes you don’t know where the ball went but if you are very keen you can see the ball even when normal people can’t. I play midfield and I like to posses the ball but I like to pass if somebody tries to steel the ball from me! My coach tries to elucidate how to do a couple of plays to us but when we actually get it he gets really excited! When we are on the field we scrutinize the WHOLE field just in case an opponent we could scarcely see is sneaking up the field for a pass! I love soccer you would be able to tell if you came to my house we have plenty of soccer balls!!!

Last week we finished ISATS and we usually do that in the early morning so we got that over with pretty quickly so that took a lot of pressure off the whole class. After that we had P.E. with Mrs. Edwards class and then read Night of the Twisters and did our reveiw sheet. Then we went to lunch and recess after that we read ind. and then had science which we started studing for our test. Then we went to music and worked on the musical. Then we packed up and went home! Then the rest of the week I was sick!!!

The Week

Article posted February 17, 2011 at 05:37 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 540

This week we worked on a ton of things but here are the most important!

In math we started learning about fractions. We learned about the improper fractions, the mixed number fractions, and that you can find if a fractions is in simplest form. You know if a fraction is in simples form if there are no common factor in numerator/denominator.

We're also learning about weather. Ginger Zee came and told us about how thunder storms and tornados are formed. But in school we learned about rain, clouds, air pressure, precipitation, anemometer, wind vane, barometer, humidity, hygrometer, and rain gauge!

We also learned about colonies. We watched a video on the region are colony is in. And we made a script on our colony. We wrote about the jobs, colonial life, geography, religion, slavery, government, and a couple other stuff that I don't remember! and we are going to make the script into a voice thread!

My week was awesome!:)

Frindle=Finished

Article posted February 14, 2011 at 07:02 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 542

I just finished Frindle. I think there are a couple lessons in this book.
#1. Keep going no matter what!
#2. Try your hardest!
#3. Even when times are hard keep your head up and they will get better!
I liked this book because you never knew what was going to happen next! You would of never expected for Nick to go on T.V. or for Mrs. Granger to call herself the villain! I loved this book I would recommend this book to anybody that is creative!!!

Ginger Zee

Today Ginger Zee came to our school to talk to us about weather. She is a meteorologist that means she studies weather! She also told us the four basic steps on how to predict the weather. She works on NBC5 weather channel. Ginger told us that we can send her pictures of our class and she will put us on T.V. Once when she was 8 she was play ing on the beach and her little brother started screaming because there was a water spout in the ocean and Ginger said she just starred at the spout until her mother said she had to go inside! I learned that there is a lot more math and science in weather than I thought! I can't wait to go on T.V.

Frindle (12-14)

Article posted February 7, 2011 at 07:01 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 586

I just read chapters 12-14 Frindle. Everyones all over Nick because he made up the new word (Frindle). I predicted that he is wishing he DIDN'T make up the word right now because he doesn't want to be the center of attention. Nick also got to go on to t.v. and I thought that people all over the U.S.A. will start using the word Frindle. I also think Mrs. Granger still hasn't given up on there fight I think she just acts like it.I can't wait to keep reading!

Frindle (5-8)

I just read chapters 5-8 in Frindle! In the next chapter Nick has to finish a report on dictionaries he has to do for Mrs. Granger! I was wondering if he has to do the report in 1 night? Nick just thought an idea while he was doing his report. I think that Mrs. Granger won't like his idea at first but then as the idea gets better she WILL like the idea more and more! Nick is about to give his report and he is very nervous! I can connect with him when I'm about to do a report I get nervous too! Nick also found a pen on the ground and named it frindle. I can't wait to keep reading!!

Frindle (1-4)

Article posted January 27, 2011 at 07:07 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 545

i'm reading the book Frindle. There is a boy Nick Allen who has all these crazy ideas like in 3rd grade he decided to turn his classroom into a beach but when he did it the teacher didn't care just the principle did! In 4th grade he made a loud peeep i the classroom and kept doing it until finally the teacher blamed it on somebody who didn't do it and then he got that girl to do it to!! When I was reading I asked the question do the teachers like his ideas? This year Nick is going into 5th grade. Everybody talks about how the 5th grade teacher Mrs. Granger is. I wonder if she really is that bad though! I predict if Nick tries to do one of his ideas then mrs. Granger will catch him and he will get in trouble. I also infer that Mrs. Granger will be mean at first but once you get to know her and follow her rules she will be a lot nicer and Nick will have a lot of fun with her!!! I can't wait to keep reading!!!

What is My Favorite Holiday?

Article posted January 10, 2011 at 08:16 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 550

Christmas!!

Christmas is awesome!!! I love the decorations and the SNOW!

We put lights on a pole that holds up our house. Green and Red lights go there!!! We also put lights on our tree. The lights on the tree light up the whole room, giving it a Christmas glow! My dad hates putting up the lights because he is allergic to the tree!!! But luckily he can survive Christmas because he stays as far away from the tree as possible. The ornaments are super cool! I think, “What is a tree without ornaments?” The ornaments are like a spice, they make the tree more colorful, and creative! My mom sits on the ground unwrapping the ornaments from their package while my dad puts them up high because we can’t reach up that high and Ryan, Charlotte, and I run and put them down low!

I also love Christmas because of the SNOW! Every year my dad, Ryan, and I make a snow fort in our backyard. We have blocks that make snowblocks. The snowblocks are green and they are rectangles they also have a handle so you can hold it. Ryan and I put the snowblocks on the fort while my dad makes the blocks! After we make a snowfort. The fort is usually the size of a tree house!!!( Not the height) We make a snowman. First we make one in our yard and then we move on to our neighbors house and they usually give toffee!!!

I love christmas, everyones mood seems to lighten up! Christmas is awesome=http://!!!!

I'm starting my first Harry Potter. Why doesn't Mr. and Mrs. Dursley like the Potters. Why is it so amazing that Harry didn't get killed by Voldermont? Does the names Dumbledore, Hagrid, and Professer McGonagall mean anything? What does the scar mean on Harry's head? I can't wait to read more=http://

In the witch's it was dark, cold, and musty. I couldn't hear or see anything! Suddenly I bumped into something big and black. I tried to go to the side of it but it was too long. I tried yo go under it but I was on wood floor. Finally I tried to jump over it and I made it! As soon as I had gotten up on it I bumped into another one. I tried going up it and it worked! I realized they were stairs! I hopped all the way up them until I got to the top! I was soon blinded by a super bright light! As soon as I recovered I saw a giant money making machine and a giant table filled with food! I saw doors that kept opening and closing figuring that was where the food was coming from. I went in and there were people everywhere I saw a big bowl of soup I started pouring the mouse maker in when a person saw me, they started screaming a mouse a mouse th grand high witch yelled back get the cat so that is why I'm running for my life know=http://!!
