The Art of Tests

By Abby

This week was the week of tests! It's almost the end of the year, so we have lots of testing. And pretty much all of them have been math. I don't think anyone likes the amount of tests, anyway. Some people, however, are unsure. All I can say is that I hope they stop soon!

However, off the subject of tests, Ms. Wilcox gave us all beautiful pages to color in. In my opinion, the finished products are beautiful! Others must like them too, because there are even some taped up on desks. This has been: Wilcox Crew Student News!

We had a lot of things this week! First off, we had our Mid Module test. I hope everyone got good scores! We are always starting to test on computers for ELA and math. Good luck! We also finished the book Absolutely Truly. And we are writing about why there should or shouldn't be chocolate milk in school, aka opinion writing. There are only around six weeks of school left. can you believe that? Next year we will all be off to middle school. I will miss Mohr. :(

Absolutely Truly

Our class has started reading a book by Heather Vogel Fredrick. The book is about Truly finding a letter in an old first edition of Charlotte's Web. Truly and her friends Cha Cha, Jasmine, Lucas and Calhoun A.K.A Romeo search around town for clues and to figure out who is leaving the notes. The book is very interesting and our class has many predictions on who is leaving the notes. The people we think are leaving the notes are Belinda Winchester, Calhoun's dad, Calhoun, and Ella Bellow.

Fractions

By Curtis

After Module 2, we have started a new module in math. This module is all about fractions. We will learn about equivalent fractions, making like units pictorially, making like units numerically, and other ways to use fractions. This is a very short module, but is important. Have a happy new module!

Keith Haring

This week our guest blogger is about a person from art with Mrs. Davidson. The person was a man named Keith Haring who was a street artist. His street art was simple and all of them each had life in it such as hearts or people. In all of his art there was movement. All of his pictures were very colorful and had big, thick lines. For his signature he drew a picture that's called Radiant Baby. Almost all street artists have to put a signature so if a person made a piece of art that looked like his or her, people will know that if it was their art or not. If they put their name as a signature people will know that it was him or her and probably get sent to jail. After awhile people found out that it was him and he got sent to jail. Once he got out of jail he continued on with his art but it wasn't street art. His art wasn't popular until a long time and he made lots of money.

Jayani asked a few of her friends all about the Poetry unit we are starting, as well as the book we just finished reading entitled, The Fourteenth Goldfish. Thanks to our camerawoman, Abby, as well as Katie, Soumya, Rhea, and Anjali.

This week, Siona chose to talk about our participation in the Global Read Aloud, as we read the novel The Fourteenth Goldfish by Jennifer L. Holm. In this video she talks with Ashley and Kai about the book, while Chloe videotapes. The class is really loving making videos to share out!

Guest Blogger- Ethan

This week Ethan decided he wanted to share his thoughts on how math is going in our classroom. He gathered a few of his classmates for a little chat. It was Ethan's great idea to share a video. See what's going on in our classroom!

Picture Day

By Rhea

Picture Day is an important and stressing day, especially when you take your picture right after PE. People all in nice outfits ready to take their pictures, practicing their smiles. Preparing for pictures that will last the rest of your life! Some people are also excited to get their pictures over with. Here are some people's ideas about picture day.

Anjali says, "Smile!"

Shreya says, "I hope my picture looks nice!"

Katie says, "Picture Day rocks!"

And Chloe says, "Best day ever!"

Music

By Katie

As you can see we have a new music teacher... MRS. HENDERSON! This is just my opinion but I think she is great! Personally, I like it when we have to clap the beat, and the hello song. Some people like the line up song or copying her hand motions. I think this will be a great school year with Mrs. Henderson and a brand new start. 

"I love her," Chloe says, "She is really creative." 

"I think she's funny," Ashley told me.

"Hi," says Kai.

The First Week of School

By Camille

The first week of school was probably great for everyone. Everybody saw their friends again, got used to their teachers, sat with each other, and also had some laughs during recess. School started for one reason and one reason only... so the teachers can jam up your head again and fill it up with everything you lost over summer! Anyway, everyone should be excited for the school year to start. Everyone should start and end the day with a good attitude. Happy first week of school everyone. Good luck this year!
