Yesterday, we had our Basketball game were we were facing 5C! In the first game it was Boys V Boys. The score was 6-0:( They won. Then on the 2nd game it was Girls V Girls. They also won that one 7-2. :( Then, on the 3rd and final game we weren't going to let them down easy. We were going to play aggressive. (no physical contact was involved.) We were going to make sure that they were going to lose, and they did. We won 4-2. Kejuan scored the opening and then again, then Gavin from 5C scored. We were also saved because in the last 10 seconds of the last game, Imari Richards had 2 free shots because the ref ( Mr. Cory and Mr. Conlee) called a foul. Each free shot is worth 1 point and if he missed the first one it was over, and he did. He missed the first one and the second one so we won. :) Our cheerleaders (Mady, Kayleigh, Renee, Zoe, Whitney, and Anna) made a cheer were Anna and Mady would lift Renee and Renee would say " Give me an A-L-L-S-T-A-R-S!" "Would does that spell?" "Allstars!!!"
School related stuff: In reading, we went over vocab, in Math, we did some more problem solving with Real-World Problems (Don't forget test is Tuesday. Here's the link for ThinkCentral: https://www-k6.thinkcentral.com/ePC/start.do ) In Science, we did a really cool experiment were we would get 2 cups. Cup A and Cup B. With Cup A and Cup B we would get a thermometer and see would the temperature's are. Most people didn't really see a difference and then with Cup A we would put some sort of tablet into it and then see what the temperature is. With Cup B we put baking soda into it and then see what the temperature was. Today Mrs. Berg announced in front of the whole school that we raised $980.000 for our school using boxtops! So, thank you to everyone who raised money. Also, our class was the #1 class for raising boxtops! Congratulations to everyone in our class who brought boxtops, and for our reward we get an ice cream AND pizza party! That's not it.

Today, we started theme 6 in reading, and our new strategy is synthesizing. We also started our new writing piece today, a story. We went to the computer lab today to work on our poems and biographies. We have chosen as our new read aloud book, Moon Over Manifest.
Today we took our Theme 5 reading tests, and we did not do so well. Our class average was 81%. :( We were focused on multiple meaning words, synonyms, antonyms, and of course vocab.
This is the link for the reading textbooks for the people who need to retake. https://www-k6.thinkcentral.com/ePC/start.do For some people it was our second attempt in learning. More than half the class retook there Math test on Fractions and mixed numbers. The problem every one had was not using bar models for real-world problems. Also, tomorrow is our Theme 5 reading test so don't forget to study and go to the study guide on the website, and on Tuesday, the 11th is Veterans Day so we have no school. Also in a few weeks we have Thanksgiving break from Wednesday November, 26th- Sunday November, 30th.
Here's the link for the Math and Reading books on ThinkCentral: https://www-k6.thinkcentral.com/ePC/start.do On Friday, we had our Halloween parade where everyone walked around the gym to show off there costumes, and we had our classroom party, where we ate Oreo's and had CapriSun. We also played a game where we would say a part of a story and then someone else would pick it up from there. It was a lot of fun.
