My Dragon Story by Reana

On Thursday my dragon was hungry. I cooked him some cold toast and then he warmed it up with his hot breath. Then he wanted some more, so I gave him some more. Then he did not want any more, so he took a little while and then he was getting hungry again. He came and told me and I gave him more toast. Then he went to sleep.

My Dragon by Matt

On Tuesday a dragon followed me home! He makes toast. He can keep the house warm. Can I keep it? Auntie Betty said no, and my dragon ate her!

 

My Dragon by Kara

On Thursday my dragon was hungry. I gave him turkey and meat and bones and my bed. Then he was sick. Then he went to the bathroom. I did not care. Then he went to bed and he cuddled me and his bear. Sleep tight, dragon!

My Dragon by Abby

On Thursday my dragon was hungry. So I went to the store and I got everything in it. I came home and I cooked dinner for him and me. I gave him everything I bought, and he ate everything! I was glad and I said that I was going to do that again. I said thank you for eating everything. "Now I will take a nap,"  said the dragon. I woke the dragon up. I was very happy and when I was tired  I took a nap with my dragon  and he woke me up. When he woke me up I went to my own bed. My dragon slept with me. Good night!

My Dragon by Julius

On Thursday my dragon was hungry. I brought him to Mr. Daily's home. And my dragon ate him. I said, "Spit him out!" Then I said, "Sorry. Can you make some bacon?" He said yes. It took 2 hours. My dragon was sleeping. His smoke burned the house. It got on fire. At least the bacon is done! We went home and had dinner at my home. Then the dragon went to sleep.

The Polar Regions

We are learning about the Polar Regions. Here's what we learned:

ARCTIC
The Arctic is frozen ocean. It is very cold. It is also called the North Pole. Polar bears live there. Some other animals that live there are whales, narwhals, snowy owls, puffins, lemmings, seals, arctic fox, snowshoe hares, and wolves. We live close to the Arctic circle.

ANTARCTICA
Antarctica is a continent. It is frozen land. It is even colder than the Arctic. It is the coldest place on earth. Peguins live there. They have never seen polar bears. Only scientists live in Antarctica because it is too cold. 

Both places are have sunshine all the time for 6 months, and darkness all the time for 6 months. We can't imagine playing on our playground in the dark, or going to school in the dark.

100th Day of School

We are 100 days smarter! We made cool projects with 100 things. Some of us worked alone, and some of us had help from our families. 

We clapped 100 times, and we wrote a fun message with 100 words. We put it in the hallway for everyone to read. We read books about 100. We liked 100 Hungry Ants. We read a poem called 100 is a Lot. Our teacher hid 100 numbers and we had to find them.  We went home after lunch because it was snowing a lot. 

It was Nar's idea to make this post 100 words!

Learning Place Value

We are using Base 10 blocks. The long skinny ones are 10, the little ones are one, and the big flat ones are 100. They are called flats, longs, and cubes. We are building with them.

Practicing spelling b-e-c-a-u-s-e

We practiced spelling "because" with play dough. We made long snakes first. Next we made the letters.

 This was f-u-n!

New Song from Slovenia

Here is the new song our friends in Slovenia sent us. We are working hard to learn this one. We like sharing songs!

Zajček dolgoušček,
bel imaš kožušček,
hitre tačke, ostre zobke,
dolge brke, repek siv.

S kravico stanuješ,
v hlevu poskakuješ,
repo glodaš in korenje,
deteljico in krompir.

Vsakemu uideš,
k meni vselej prideš,
s smrčkom vohaš, prst poližeš,
potlej pa vesel zbežiš. 

The translation goes a bit like this:

Long-eared bunny ,
You have white fur,
speedy paws, sharp teeth,
long whiskers, gray tail.

You live with cow,
jump around the barn,
nibble turnips and carrots,
clover and potatoes.

You escape from everyone
but always come to me,
you smell with your nose, lick my finger
and then run away happily.

Playing Before and After

We are playing a math game called Before and After. You each get 6 cards, and you each put 1 card on the top. Now you see if you have a number that is before or after.

We worked in pairs and groups. It was fun and the cards were colorful, and we wrinkled our brains with numbers. We worked hard at the game. We are getting better at games!

Happy New Year from the Crickets!
