This week has been fast fun week. We began learning cursive this week. We like it, it feels good, and makes us feel like an adult!
We started reading a chapter book called Ramona Quimby, Age 8. So far, it has been a good book.
We've been learning about common and proper nouns. Proper nouns always have a capital letter at the beginning, and common nouns don't. Nouns are a person, place, thing, or idea.
In art this week we finished drawing our swans.
On Thursday, we all participated in the Apex Fun Run. The run went on for 45 minutes, we ran, we walked, we drank water, danced, and jogged. We ran with Wild Wes, Amazing Andrew, and Krazy Katie. The next day our legs were very sore. Our class won the mystery prize, water bottles!
We had the best week ever!

Tremendous Third Week
Hi Parents,
In class today, we held a mock trial. We each had a part to play in the trial. We had a judge, a court reporter, lawyers, witnesses, jury members, and a sheriff. In the end the jury found the defendant guilty of loosing a puppy.
Language has been about the four types of sentences.
This week in math, we started learning place value using the T-Shirt Factory. We were put into groups and we had to create a company name. On a poster, we put our company name and graphs showing how many boxes of shirts, rolls of shirts, and loose shirts we have in each size.
Mrs. Hoover is reading us a book called Out of My Mind for our read aloud after lunch. It's about a girl that is 11 and she has special needs. She cannot walk, talk, or do other things we can do.
This week in gym be played Survivor and Boom Ball. On Survivor we try to get players from the other team out by hitting them with a ball. In Art, we learned to draw a swan.
We would also like to tell you that Mrs. Hoover is awesome!! (and FUN!!)
That's how our tremendous third week has gone.
