Book Club Projects

Book Clubs! We had book clubs a couple weeks ago we all read books that the teacher   assigned us. Some people Read 1 book or 2 books. And we made posters which were video taped and you can watch them on the blog and we read them just in a couple and we all had kinds of ideas for the posters like one group made a message in a bottle and another group made a toilet theme because there book was about a boy in the girls bathroom. And at the beginning of reading we would meet with are groups and we could only read to a certain part that the group decided on. some people got to 2 books some only got to 1 and some
never finished their book.

Pretty perfect book box covers

This year we decided our book boxes were getting old so we wanted to touch them up a bit. Some were ripped some were wrinkled and it may have took us 1or 2 times but we made it work and they all look perfect.

This year we were going to touch up our 10 year old book boxes. We desided it would be cool to take our picture and make it look like we were leaning, upsided down on our side, and just looking plane adorable.

By problem I mean triying to laminate it with out ruining it. It wasn't mrs. sims fault but some how I, Bradon,and Nate were accidentally messed up.  It's okay now that we re made them they looked better than last time. Mrs.Sims proble saiid she was sorry 5differant times and that made up for it all.Mrs.Sims had thought she had broken the laminator but it was all a big mistake, it turned out someone was trying to "help" but they fixed it and everything is fine.

It may of took a while/couple days to decorate and all the glue marks and stickers stuck in our hair it was all worth it.

Figurative Language

Our class has been talking about figurative language so we played a game on figurative language.

Figurative Language is pictures that make words or sounds.

For example:

METAPHORS-Compare two things by describing one in terms of another.

SIMILES-Compare two things by using like or as.

PERSONIFICATION-means making something "person like".

SENSORY WORDS-describe something we can taste or feel.

 This is the game.

Writing Fiction Summarys

 

Today in reading we learned what is most important to put in a summary. Together we did a summary on Each Kindess by: Jaqualn Woodson. We made sure to provide the information of characters, setting, conflict, main events, solutions, and the theme. Then we went back in and underlined each thing in a different color. We learned that all a summary really needs are those 6 things and not much else. We are going to try to cut out the extra fluff from our readers response letters summary and put on the inportant things.

Banned Book Week

This week is banned book week. Banned book week is when we talk about books that have been banned from a school/ library. They are banned because someone thinks that they are inappropriate. None of them are banned at our school. I think you be surprised to see what books they are!

 

The bulletin board designers, who are Jackson and Camrynn, decorated the bulletin boards with caution tape and they cut out some flames finally, they made the poster.

 

                                  These are some books that were banned.

Mrs.Sims has taken the classes photos for banned books week. She took their photos with books that were banned. Some of these books lots of people have read!

I wanted to add that Brooke also ran a station and Paige helped with videography. Colin showed up and helped with the book exchange. EVERYONE in our class took a huge part in setting up the book fair. They all volunteered at some point during the week helping load/unload, unpack, set up, and organize the book fair!! I was so proud of their teamwork and leadership while helping Mrs. Fredrick!!
