Evacuation Hike to High Ground

Have you ever gone on a evacuation drill? I have. It is a big hill. We had to hike from the school to the hill. When we got to the top we had to wait , but we found things to do. We got to enjoy our snacks we brought up, Ms. Turchin brought joke books, and we tried to catch grasshoppers. We could have gone down on the bus , but we decided to walk back. It was fun! When we got back we were tired but still wanted to do all our work.

SPECAIL THANKS TO ANDREY'S MOM FOR JOINING US!!!!

My Friends

I like my class a lot. My class makes me feel good. Everyone in my class is special. The people that help me the most are the people at my group. My group is Joey, Callum, Sam and I. We work together for POD and everyone helps each other, and Callum is our group leader. He doesn't do the work for me, but he helps me understand it. Whenever I have trouble they help me. I like them all a lot.

Class Auctions

Our class has class auction's every Friday. How we do it is this...Ms. T will hold up a book or school supplies or even a little toy! Joyce usually has something at her office too. We earn money by being good at a fire drill, or an assembly, or being on your best behavior. Some kids spend their money now on auctions in class. Some kids don't by anything because they save up for the end of the year auction. At the end of the school year we have a big auction. I like auctions!

My favorite thing....

My favorite thing in our class is math. Math is my favorite thing because I have practiced it over and over again and now it seems fun. My favorite kind of math is decimals and division. We're only on addition right now. Last year we got to doing decimals. It was fun!
Math has been my favorite subject since kindergarten. The hardest kind of math I have learned is finding the diameter of random shapes. Last year I ended doing the same kind of stuff my sister was doing and she was in 6th grade. Do you like math too?

Our Field Trip

For our class field trip last Friday we went to the Washington State corn maze. It was amazing. First you go on a hay ride, next you have four entrances to choose from.The one that my group chose was Spokane.There are so many places to go! You can go to Grand Coulee Dam, the Space Needle, and Port Angeles. Once you choose your entrance and go to the places you are supposed to go you get out Gray Harbor. It is so much fun! You should consider going there with your family.

Our Class Field Trip

We went to the Washington Corn Maze for our field trip last Friday, and boy was it fun! It starts with going on a hayride and then you choose which entrance you go into. My group went to Seattle, the Space Needle, on I-90, Spokane, Grand Coulee Dam,and Port Angeles in the corn maze! We went in groups of 3 or 4. My group started in Spokane, and we came out Gray Harbor. It was so much fun, maybe you can visit the Washington State corn maze.

Computers in our class

I like my classroom because we have 12 student computers and we each have a computer buddy. One thing I really like is ATRT. ATRT is a typing program that you learn to type letters and numbers. We also do Star Reading tests. Star Reading tests tell you what your reading level is. There's also AR. Whenever you finish an AR book you take a AR test, which is like a Star Reading test. Ms. T. also has a classroom website where you can find AR books. There's one more thing I want to tell about and that's what I'm doing right now, and that's blogging. Everybody will have to blog about something. Come back and visit our blog often!

Friendship

Hi I'm Alexis. Today I am going to talk about friendship. I think friendship is great. We talk a lot about friendship in our class. When you have a friend you can play with them and not feel left out. Sometimes I help some of the 2nd graders. I help them with math mostly. Also sometimes on PowerPoint's. One of my good 2nd grade friends is Kylie. She is really nice to me. She treats me with respect. But I think all of the 2nd graders are very nice. Sometimes I like to play with Kylie at recess. But I also like all the 3rd graders. Sometimes some of them need help with math. Me to sometimes. I also help the 2nd graders find AR books in the library. Still friendship is always very important. All of the 2nd graders and 3rd graders are very respectful. One of the 3rd graders is one of my good friends too. Her name is Jennifer. She is nice to me because she is really respectful to everyone. I have one friend that I have known since kindergarten. His name is Smiley. He is in my group and sometimes I can help him with math.
It's fun having friends in our class.

We wanted to graph our class snacks to see what snack was the most popular.
Jennifer collectewd the data. Callum made the graph.We made a bar graph to see what we voted for what we had almost every morning and we found out that goldfish (of all kinds....) were the most popular snack, for kids who eat snacks in our class.

Group Work

Welcome to Ms. Turchin's class! We do do lots of fun group work, like the Problem of the Day. Having a group is the most important because if you need help, your group members will help you. My favorite part about my group is that they are always willing to help, always smiling, respectful, always listening and encourage each other. I think that groups are a very important part of our classroom.
