Kindergarten buddies

Today, we visited our kindergarten buddies in their classroom. We read books to them. Here are some sentences we wrote with our buddies while we read.

Also, we read The Old Woman Who Named Things. It was good! -- GVB and E

We read Hairy, Scary, Ordinary. It wasn't a good book. It needed better pictures. -- TP and N

Our book was about a dog who found a cat and the dog loved the cat. It's a good book. -- EZ and K

We read a book about a muddy dog and he got cleaned in a pond. – MD, JMR and M

We read a book and she thought it was funny. I don’t even know why. KC and E

First of all, we're going to read some fabulous books. We've read a good fiction book called Davy Crockett Saves the World. We read a true story about George Washington's teeth.
What's your favorite sport? One of our favorite sports is handball. Another is soccer. We enjoy football at recess.

We are also studying weather and water this week. One of our activities is to keep track of how much it rains. Has it rained where you live?

Our favorite things

One of our assignments this week was to write an 8-sentence paragraph about our favorite things to do. Everyone worked hard and went through the entire writing process. After we finished our final drafts, we voted on which two paragraphs should be posted for the world to see.
Here they are.

From O. M. D.
What I like to do is many things and your going to here 3 of them! First I like watching WWE like Smack Down, Raw and ECW. I like watching WWE because I like Jeff Hardy, Under Taker, Thom Cena and Rey Mysterio. Next I like skateboarding with my skateboard at the Memorial Park. Skateboarding I like because I like doing ramps. Last I like biking and go for the can. I also like biking because I like going fast! Obviously you know what my three favorite things are.

From L.P.
There are several things I like to do. First I like to go to Mr. Biggs. Mr. Biggs is fun because they have bumper carts. Second I like to play football. I like to play football because it is fun and exercising. Third I like to play video games. I like to play video games because they have football games to play. In conclusion that is all of things I like to do.

Thanks for reading our blog. Watch our writing get better and better as we move through fifth-grade!
