Publisher of Week... Kevin and Ty-Andre! Read Across America 2017

Hi parents, family, and friends, 

This is Kevin and Ty. We are writing about Read Across America. Read Across America is when we learned about reading and celebrated Dr. Seuss birthday. Here are some things we did for Read Across America. 

The people read to us through the phone. We used Facetime and Skype to see their faces. We have a map in the class to track the places people have called from. People read in every state. Everybody reads. 

• Officer Bermudez came to read to us first. Even police officers read! She is Ms. Bermudez sister. 
• Stephanie read to us from San Jose. That is six hours away! 
• Jan read to us from Arizona. She is Kage's grandma. She has alot of flags up in her room. 
• Mrs. Beatttie's Third Grade Class read "I'm Gonna Like Me".  They live in Colorado. 
• Breck read a book to us. He lives in Chicago. It takes over a day to get there! 
• Kayla read a Dr. Seuss book to us. She lives in Washington DC. That is where the president lives. 

We said happy birthday to Dr. Seuss on Thursday. We read the story Green Eggs and Ham and then we ate our own green eggs and ham. It was good. We learned that you can't say you don't like something when you haven't tried it. 

We made a Dr. Seuss projects and we read "Oh the Place You'll Go". We also made hot air balloons to go with the story. That book taught us a lot about life. We did a paragraph about our life. 

Thanks for reading this. We loved read across america.

Eye Bombing

Hello Family and Friends! I wanted to share a project we created last month. It was one of the highlights for the kids. We learned about a phenomenon called "eye bombing" in which people take sticky googly eyes, and put them on an object in a public place to create a face. The goal is to make someone smile or laugh as they continue throughout our day. Room 6 students were invited to "lunch with the teacher" where they came up with their own creative spots to stick their googly eyes and make their classmates and the rest of the school laugh. We then made a Google Slides presentation or class book to publish our ideas, creativity, and put more smiles on more faces. : )

Publisher of the Week... Zach!

Hello Friends and Family,

My name is Zach. I am going to write about Secret Stories. Secret Stories are a kind of story that help you learn. There are pictures and hand motions to go with the stories and sometimes there are videos to go with it.
Here are some examples of the stories we have learned.
The blender secret story is when all of the consonants got blended and now they are stuck together. My favorite one is when two vowels go walking the first one does the talking and says its name.
The video is about my favorite one.


Thanks for watching!
Zach
