Class Talent Show!!!

We had a FANTASTIC talent show, I must say!  The majority of our class participated.  It was really fun to see what talents our classmates have been developing outside of school!  I had no idea my students were so accomplished!  We had people play the piano, sing, do yo-yo tricks, moonwalk, rap, do skits, do cheerleading students, sing original songs, display artwork, and do puppetry!  Then I finished up by playing some songs on the guitar.  It was a really fun time.  :)

Oregon or Bust!

We participated in a 2-day simulation of the Oregon Trail!  We made wagons out of our desks, bought supplies, traded with Native Americans, forded a river, passed several landmarks, had a "shin dig" at Fort Laramie (that included learning to dance the Virginia Reel!), and confronted such disasters as Malaria, Cholera, incessant rain, snake bites, and Dysentery.  One of our own, poor Cole, died from Malaria.  Unfortunately, I didn't take many pictures!  But, I did take this one of all our signatures carved into Independence Rock (otherwise known as the whiteboard).  :)

Service!

The fifth grade was in charge of putting together kits for children in hospitals.  Our class was in charge of wrapping the flower pens that were put in the kits!

First Credit Auction!!

 Table full of goodies to bid on!

 Thank you, parents, for donating such great stuff!

 But then he gave it to Jordan to complete his "princess" ensemble!

 Taylor knew exactly what she wanted!

 Precious, Sam, just precious.

Class Constitution finished!

 

Class Constitution

In finishing our unit on the Constitution, we are creating a class constitution!  We created the preamble yesterday:

We the students of room 109

in order to form a more perfect class,

establish respect, insure kindness,

provide for a quality learning environment,

promote doing our best, 

and secure the blessings of awesomeness

to ourselves and our teacher,

do ordain and establish this constitution 

of the united people of Miss Huyett's class.

Kind of catchy, isn't it?  :)

Welcome to Polyhedraville!

We created 3D cities to practice what we've been learning about 3D shapes and nets, and to introduce our new unit of area and perimeter!  Great work, boys and girls!

More Videos From "The Band"

Jordan created a parody of Ke$ha's "Tik Tok" and taught the lyrics to "the band" at lunch, and then they performed for the class!  It's about being a nerd.  :)

 Their favorite song, however, is "Dynamite" by Taio Cruz.  :)
