This Week by KiYeon Kim

This week we read tall tales and our read aloud, Holes. We are learning about American culture and in math we learn about rounding and adding. At recess, we played kickball and soccer. In gym class we played soccer and we did a soccer test. We are also writing a tall tale story. In computer class, we played a computer game and we practiced typing. We also watched a short clip about John (Chapman) Appleseed.

Cheez-It! Helps My Students Become Better Spellers

How can Cheez-It! help my students become better spellers?!!?

Cheez-It! has a special SCRABBLE Junior edition which allows my students to SPELL out their SPELLING WORDS!!!

My 5th Grade Students enjoy THIS kind of SPELLING WORK!

"How many words can I make with my Cheez-It! Scrabble Junior crackers?"

Wishing spelling could always be THIS fun!

"We never did this kind of spelling in KOREA!"

My students were SAD to HEAR that I bought the LAST TWO BOXES of Cheez-It! SCRABBLE JUNIOR at our local Wal-Mart! We're hoping the Scrabble Junior is not for a LIMITED TIME only! If you know, please let US know!

OUR WEEK!!!!!!!!!!

This week was very fun. We did "How Wet Can You Get" - that was sooooo FUN!!!!!!!!! We did water balloons, water guns,water sponges and, the slip and slide. That is what we did!!!!!!!!!

The picture above shows Sierra writing her spelling words with sidewalk chalk. That was something else we did this week.

Announcing.....

...Our First Field Trip of the School Year!!!!

When: Tuesday, October 4

What Time: 8:30-2:30ish

Where: Zook Molasses Company & Good Food, Inc.,

with a short visit to September Farms

Transportation: We need parent drivers

Lunch: A Pizza Lunch will be provided for FREE

Cost of Trip: FREE

Optional: Money for treats - candy, drinks, pancake/waffle mix, pancake syrup, funnel cake mix, soup mix, and more.

11 Years ago, Zook Molasses and Good Food was hit by a very powerful tornado. One of the employees of this company will give us a guided tour of their business and talk about how God protected their employees during the tornado.

Our reading theme right now is "Nature's Fury" so visiting this plant/warehouse will fit in perfectly with our curriculum.

We'll get to see how their company makes things, often using assembly lines. We'll even get to sample some yummy food!

And, if you're wondering - YES, we'll get to wear HAIRNETS!

We'd love to have parents chaperone and drive for this trip.
Zook Molasses and Good Food is 17 miles away in Honey Brook.

If time permits, we'll also stop at September Farms where they make and sell delicious cheese. YUMMY!

This Week in Review by Sarah Castr.

This week was a lot of fun! It was really short, though. We had Monday off because of Labor day. On Tuesday, we planted our seeds and celebrated Kiyeon's birthday. On Wednesday, we had chapel and had two special guests: Daniel's mom who sang and my dad who shared a message. They both did a really good job! That afternoon we celebrated Caleb's birthday. Thursday we had off school because of all the rain. Lastly, on Friday, we worked on spelling sorts, ate some of Mrs. Mellette's mom's homemade applesauce, enjoyed an outdoor recess, and had 2 specials: gym and art class.

More Music

I currently don't have audio on my classroom computer, so I mistakenly didn't upload the right video from yesterday's musical masterpiece. This song brought tears to my eyes! Enjoy this musical selection from Daniel's mom...

Korean Beauty Comes to Class

Enjoy this wonderful and beautiful musical expression of love! Daniel's mom came and blessed us with a tribute for Daniel's upcoming birthday! All of the kiddos asked me to post this on the blog so they can show their parents. THEY LOVED IT!!! Thank you, Mrs. Shin!
