Holes Book Report: October 24

We're finishing up Louis Sachar's "Holes" book. As a concluding assignment, students need to do a book report. They can choose to do a
One-Man Show,
a T-Chart
(Here's an example of a T-Chart)

or a Shoebox-Diorama. The Book Report is due Monday, October 24.

Today students received a paper on the type of book report they would like to do. Here is a link for a Shoebox Diorama.

Our First Field Trip

This week has been very interesting. We went to Zook Molasses and Good Food in Honey Brook for a field trip. It was a lot of fun. We walked around the factory, we got to see different kinds of machines, and we had to wear hairnets. I thought that it was very fun. We got to smell all different kinds of smells: Like, molasses, maple syrup, vanilla, and soup spices. We got to buy some stuff from the store. Another part of the field trip was going to September Farms, where we got to sample cheese. We also got to see them make cheese. Lastly, we went to L & S Sweeteners. There we got to go into a train caboose, and see how the people there turned it into offices and conference rooms. We went into the Good Food Outlet Store and got to try molasses - it was really good. I think that this week was extremely fun.

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!
