In Social Studies we’ve been working on a podcast. It is about the Middle Atlantic States. There are 4 parts to it: “A Trip To the Middle Atlantic States”, ” Colony Chat”, “Vocabulary Game Show”, and “Natural Resources”. You can listen to it on iTunes either Dec. 8th or Dec. 9th to any time forever. You have to go on Wood End Radio. It is amazing! I hope you like it too. Have you ever listen or made a podcast?

In Wood End School we do a program called Read To Succeed. If your class reads 100 books 1,000,000 books will be donated to kids in need. You can read with 2 different people. They are Peyton Manning or Eli Manning. They are two great quarterbacks in the NFL. We have read 150 books so far. Scolastic does this and hires football players to motivate kids. This is Scholastic Book’s program so the 1,000,000 books are published by Scholastic. Team Eli is winning right now. Do you think this is a good idea? Why?

Itdoes teach you about alot of things. For example, yesterday we had life skills, and it was about smoking. Smoking can cause heart disease and alot of bad stuff. I’m happy that we only have 8 lessons. Don’t fall for adds about smoking.

In other countries they use a measurement system called the metric system. This system is based on the number 10 and includes something called a millimeter. They’re ten millimeters in 1 centimeter. What about a decimeter? A decimeter has ten centimeters. A meter has ten decimeters or one hundred centimeters. Do you want to use this system? Why?

We are working on our mystery book report. To make it we had a cereal box. You had to read a mystery book. For example I read a Hardy Boys book called While the Clock Ticked. In the cereal box we are supposed to put a little toy, drawing, etc. This project is due December 11, 2009. I think this book project is the most fun this year so far! Do you think this is a fun book project? Why?

On Thursday November 5, 2009 Molly Sullivan came to our school to talk about disabilities and hers. Molly told us she had dyslexia. If she were writing USA it might come out as SAU for her or ASU.
Molly was 10 when she started fencing! She was a Olympic fencer for 2 years! WOW! Molly comes to Wood End every year and she loves it ! While we were in the library she showed us a video of fencing and how she trains and remembers it. You need to wear safety equipment, so you wont get hurt. Here some things that you should wear, a bullet proof jacket or suite, padded gloves,a helmet and shoes that can help you such as sneakers for getting away. You need this equipment because the sword used in fencing is a weapon and really sharp.
Molly said that “her disability helps her a lot”. She let the 3 fourth grade classes ask questions at the end of the program. This was part of our Understanding Disabilities program and a phrase we use a lot is “Learning We Are All The Same Inside”.

Thanksgiving Feast by Elizabeth
I am ready for the feast.
The turkey was not a beast.
I’m sure the meal will be yummy.
It’s enough to fill my tummy.
When I’ve eaten cranberriesauce,
I hope my memory won’t be lost.
Thanksgiving Dinner By: Mike
Hooray Thanksgiving is today,
The turkey is here okay.
We have alot of stuffing,
I am huffing and puffing.
All my cousins are in my house,
They all tried to kill a mouse.
Finally we eat the dinner,
I think I stopped getting thinner.

Thanksgiving is the only day

Thanksgiving Disaster by John
When I grabbed the knife
The turkey took my wife
He ran far with her
My cat gave a long prrr
The cat said to have fish
I made an awesome wish
Quickly the wish came true
I fell into the stew.
Thanksgiving by Ryan
Thanksgiving is a great day.
We celebrate in our way.
We like to eat famous blueberry pie.
If you eat too much pie, you might die.
The Run Away Turkey by Ashley
Catch that turkey he’s running away
I have been waiting for this very day
It feels like its been many years
Yet I have many fears
Oh, no he’s grabed a knife
My bad he’s grabbed my wife
In school, before we start lessons we have Before School Work. We call Before School Work B.S.W. for short. One thing we do in B.S.W. is Daily Language where we correct sentences and do a lot of other grammar. We also have Daily Geography which we answer geography questions on, for example they might ask, “What is the distance between Boston and Albany?” Another thing we do in B.S.W. is cursive and we copy down cursive words. We stopped practicing cursive and now you can find it in our writing. We usually have math boxes which we answer math questions. We have a lot of work in B.S.W.
Do you think this is a good idea? Why?
