For math we learned about fractions and subtracting them. My favorite activity is when we tested the light bulbs to see which of the objects could let electricity flow through. The work I'm most proud of this week is the one I just did. I'm looking forward to a good next week!

In math we've been learning how to add and subtract fractions using models. In reading, we have been trying to find the setting, problem, solution, characters, and main events. In writing, we think of something and we write the things it makes us feel and think. In social studies we've been studying the three branches and in science we've been learning different ways to create electricity.

I learned how to use the partial quotients method. I'm looking forward to learning the rectangle method. My favorite lesson this week was when I was doing the partial quotients method. I'm most proud of my work with partial quotients.

We learned in reading that we should always look for or find the main idea because that helps us understand what the book is telling us. The work I'm most proud of this week is science because I learned that if you rub something and put it on your shirt or wall or anything that you can find it sticks on it but one thing is that it only sticks if the positive charge is with the negative charge or else it will not work. What I'm looking forward to next week is hopefully great report cards!

This week we finished our paper roller coasters. They are really big now! I learned that drugs are bad and if a friend tells you to do it, then they are not really your friend! I was writing about Benjamin Franklin. I learned a lot about him and he was a good man!

Last week I learned about the Battle of Lexington, how to round decimals, and we're building paper roller coasters. We also finished our narrative writing stories.

Hello, today I am proud of how this school is amazing. I'm looking forward to a talent show because I love seeing people perform!

This past week what we learned in Math was the power of ten and decimals. For writing, we learned how to make our writing piece better by making changes. For Social Studies we are learning the timeline of the American Revolution. For Science, we are learning Newton's First Law. My work that I am most proud of is Newton's First Law because I gave a lot of time into the work. I am most looking forward to Math because I love Math and Science.

In science, I learned about force, that someone or something has to push or pull. I learned that mass is a measure of the amount. In Social Studies, I learned about the Sugar Act. Every time you buy something you have to pay a tax!

I am looking forward to STEM next week. It was fun this week, we have been learning how to build a paper roller coaster. It may seem difficult now, but in the end it will all be worth it. It has been fun in STEM this week and so far we have drawn sketches and learned how to build parts.

My favorite thing that I did this week is that we were making the elephants in art and we were practicing making elephants like making them from the side and the elephants looking forward. We also learned new words to say the elephant from the side. We made only three, but it was fun!

One thing we learned in math was volume. For example, if you have a rectangular prism when the length is 3 and the width is 3 and the height is 4, it doesn't matter which you multiply first you're going to get the same answer. So I'm going to multiply 3 x 3 = 9, and then 9 x 4 and that  equals 36, so that's how you are going to get your answer. If I did 4 x 3 = 12, and then I would have to multiply 12 x 3 and that gives me 36. Also you have to write cubic units!

Welcome to Ms. McCaffrey's Class!

Each week we will have a guest blogger! One student will be chosen to write about the great things happening in our classroom and here at GES!
