The children threw a wonderful winter party. We had plenty of beautiful decorations, delicious food, and fun games. Have a wonderful break!
Electricity
Our class got a charge out of building circuits. We built many circuits in a series with light bulbs, switches, motors, and batteries.
Mr. Kipling
Mr. Kipling is a yellow leopard gecko.
Mr. Kipling’s diet consists of live crickets… yum!

He is so little and fast!
Mr. Kipling has a good taste for crickets.
I don’t think I’ve ever loved a gecko more!
Mr. Kipling is very silly.
He’s lazy but lovable.
He’s already used to our classroom and we are used to him.
Outside of the Capitol Building in Madison
Our trip to the Capitol building was awesome!
I was amazed by the amount of gold!
I learned a lot about our capital.
Did you know that the statue on top of the Capitol Building is named Wisconsin? She is covered 100% in gold leaf.
I loved it! Hope you get a chance to go!
It was braintastic!
Great architecture!
You could get lost in the Capitol Building.
It’s bigger than I expected, way bigger.
We got to see Sandy Pasch’s office. She lives right here in Whitefish Bay.
I learned a lot there.
The revolving doors were awesome and the paintings were spectacular.
It was interesting to learn about Old Abe.
Because the building is so tall, there are a lot of stairs.
Did you know that they use natural sunlight to light the rooms?
Field Trip on Friday!
The Jumping Jacks World Record
Our thoughts on the Jumping Jack Challenge:
It was really cool how a lot of states participated.
It was short but tiring.
I felt like I was going to pass out.
It was really cool seeing everybody participate.
It was funny hearing everyone screaming and shouting.
There were a lot of people there.
Even the little kids did a great job!
Awesome!
I felt really, really hot.
Really fun.
Even all of the teachers participated.
My arms felt like jelly.
My legs were like Jello.
I felt like I was in Hollywood.

What does it mean to be a writer?
To me a writer is someone who writes what he/she feels
I think it is when you like to write
When it feels good to write
It means you write books, paragraphs, essays, etc.
Being a writer is sometimes really hard and sometimes really easy. Being a writer also means to have at least a little sense of humor and to be up for the challenge
You should enjoy writing many different types of stories
A writer is somebody who writes to express themselves and to tell people what’s on their mind
To me it’s a person that puts passion in their work
It means to have a little creativity and have fun
You have to love to write and you don’t have to be good at it, you just have to love it. Really, everybody is a writer.
To have good describing sentences
It means you try your hardest
A writer means to be a person who enjoys writing
You know that school is about to start when…
School supplies are showing up in the stores
Weather is getting warmer or cooler
Mom and Dad are taking you shopping
You get a new lunch box and backpack
No more kids at home
Your mom and dad tell you who your new teacher is
The bell rings
The pictures are posted on the school door
You start to see school buses
The teacher starts talking
Sports start
You see kids wearing backpacks
Kids are getting worried
Mom and Dad are packing your lunch
Grown ups are getting excited
You see the teachers going to school
Your alarm clock rings
More cars are going into the school parking lot
Your mom wakes you up
Your sister goes to school
You see that it is almost September
Your mom and dad tell you to get ready
You have to get up early
